THE NYMPH OFCRYPTORHAMPHUS ORBUSSTÅL (HEMIPTERA: LYGAEIDAE: CRYPTORHAMPHINAE)

Buffalograss germplasm resistance to Blissus occiduus (Hemiptera: Lygaeidae).

Plant germplasm collections may offer genetic variability useful in identifying insect resistance. The goal of this project was to evaluate buffalograss genotypes [Buchloë dactyloides (Nutt.) Engelm.] for resistance to the chinch bug, Blissus occiduus Barber (Hemiptera: Lygaeidae), and to relate resistance to ploidy level, chinch bug number, and pubescence. Forty-eight buffalograss genotypes fr...

Turfgrass, crop, and weed hosts of Blissus occiduus (Hemiptera: Lygaeidae).

Blissus occiduus Barber is an important pest of buffalograss, Buchloë dactyloides (Nuttall) Engelmann, turf. No-choice studies documented the susceptibility of selected turfgrasses, crops, and weeds to B. occiduus feeding. Highly to moderately susceptible grasses included buffalograss; yellow Setaria glauca (L.) and green foxtail Setaria viridis (L.); Kentucky bluegrass, Poa pratensis L.; peren...

بررسی تاکسونومیک خانوادة (Lygaeidae (Hemiptera : Heteroptera در منطقه کرج

خانوادة‌ Lygaeidae با بیش از 4000 گونة شناخته شده در دنیا، یکی از بزرگترین خانواده‎های راستة نیم سخت بالپوشان محسوب می‎شود. اکثر گونه‎های این خانواده گیاهخوارند، البته گونه‎های شکارگر و خونخوار نیز در بین آنها یافت می‎شود (9).در این تحقیقات که از فروردین ماه 1379 تا شهریور ماه 1380 در مزارع و باغات شهرستان کرج انجام گرفت نمونه‎هایی از این سن‎ها توسط تور حشره‎گیری، آسپیراتور و تله‎ نوری جمع‎آوری...

SELECTION OF Beauveria bassiana AND Metarhizium anisopliae ISOLATES FOR THE CONTROL OF Blissus antillus (Hemiptera: Lygaeidae)

Chinch bugs of the genus Blissus (Hemiptera: Lygaeidae) are serious pests of maize, wheat, sorghum and various grasses. This study is the first to screen isolates of Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium anisopliae against 4 instar and adult Blissus antillus aiming to develop a biological control program for this important pasture pest. Ten fungal isolates were initially screened and three isolate...
