Control of Agricultural Pests
All over the world a huge effort is being made to fight these pests and now new weapons have been added to man's armoury in this battle. These are radioactive isotopes and radiation sources. Their contribution to the control of agricultural pests is not yet precisely calculable, but several promising lines of attack have been opened up and some concrete r e sults already achieved. The main valu...
متن کاملThe piercing-sucking herbivores Lygus hesperus and Nezara viridula induce volatile emissions in plants.
Plant volatiles induced by herbivory are often used as olfactory cues by foraging herbivores and their natural enemies, and thus have potential for control of agricultural pests. Compared to chewing insects and mites, little is known about plant volatile production following herbivory by insects with piercing-sucking mouthparts. Here, we studied factors (insect life stage, gender, the role of s...
متن کاملNew insights into an RNAi approach for plant defence against piercing-sucking and stem-borer insect pests.
Insect double-stranded (ds)RNA expression in transgenic crops can increase plant resistance to biotic stress; however, creating transgenic crops to defend against every insect pest is impractical. Arabidopsis Mob1A is required for organ growth and reproduction. When Arabidopsis roots were soaked in dsMob1A, the root lengths and numbers were significantly suppressed and plants could not bolt or ...
متن کاملNovel Genes for Control and Deterrence of Sucking Insect Pests
Current GM crops are thus far the almost exclusive domain of herbicide and insect resistance traits. The Bt toxins used for insect control have a narrow specificity against lepidopteran and coleopteran pests only. Yet, aphids and thrips are highly important pests worldwide, causing severe direct losses and transmitting devastating viruses such as Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus (TSWV). So far, few us...
متن کاملThrips Pests on Ornamental Plants in Mahallat, Markazi Province, Iran
Thrips specimens were collected in the year 2014 on different ornamental plants from Mahallat (Markazi Province), Iran. In this study, 11 species in six genera and three different families of Thysanoptera were collected and identified.
