Host plant preference of harlequin bug (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), and evaluation of a trap cropping strategy for its control in collard.
Harlequin bug, Murgantia histrionica (Hahn) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), is a piercing-sucking pest of cole crops, causing cosmetic damage in low populations, while heavy pest pressure can kill plants or entire fields. Field studies were conducted to evaluate a trap crop for control of harlequin bug in collard. Field-cage choice tests found that potential trap crop plant species, mustard (Brassic...
متن کاملDetermination of the Potential Habitat of Range Plant Species Using Maximum Entropy Method
This study aimed to identify the most important physical variables affecting the distribution of four range plants species (Tamarix aphylla, Calligonum comosum, Prosopis spicigera and Salsola rigida) habitats and to prepare potential habitat map of the species using Maximum Entropy (MaxEnt) method in rangelands of Jiroft city, Kerman province, located in SE Iran. To this end, sampling of vegeta...
متن کاملHost Plant Selection by Insects
Host plant selection by insects is often divided into „host plant finding‟ and „host plant acceptance.‟ While the two are easy to separate conceptually, in practice, they are really part of a continuum of three, rather than two, inextricably bonded links. However, the central link of host plant finding, thought previously to be governed by volatile chemicals, has, until now, proved intractable ...
متن کاملReproductive Refractoriness in the Western Tarnished Plant Bug (Hemiptera: Miridae)
Adult Lygus hesperus Knight (Hemiptera: Miridae), major crop pests of the southwesternUnitedStates, canmate repeatedlyduring their lives, potentiallyenhancing the lifetimeÞtness ofboth sexes.However, theperiodicityofmating and its regulation in this species is poorlyunderstood. In this study the postmating refractory period for both sexes is described. Males were found to have a median delay of...
متن کاملDevelopment of a plant-based threshold for tarnished plant bug (Hemiptera: Miridae) in cotton.
The tarnished plant bug, Lygus lineolaris (Palisot de Beauvois), is an important pest of cotton, Gossypium hirsutum L., in the mid-southern United States. It is exclusively controlled with foliar insecticide applications, and sampling methods and thresholds need to be revisited. The current experiment was designed to establish a plant-based threshold during the flowering period of cotton develo...
