Demography of gut symbiotic and aposymbiotic Nezara viridula L. (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae).
Nezara viridula L. is a highly polyphagous and cosmopolitan pentatomid stink bug. Despite its economic importance, aspects of its biology are poorly understood. N. viridula has one primary bacterium associated with its gastric caeca, which females provide to offspring by smearing it on the surface of eggs during oviposition. We studied the impact of three temperatures and egg mass surface steri...
متن کاملMilk Thistle (Silybum marianum)
Milk thistle is a well known and commonly used herb, used particularly in hepatic diseases. It has very potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antifibrotic properties (1). As a single agent its therapeutic effects in liver disease appear to be modest (2,3,4,5). Herbal medicines and supplements are likely to be much more beneficial when used synergistically in combinations or formulas. Milk ...

The southern green stink bug, Nezara viridula L., may disperse from alternate host plants, especially corn,ZeamaysL., andpeanuts,Arachis hypogaeaL., into cotton,Gossypiumhirsutum L. Trap crops may be useful to intercept dispersing stink bugs. Therefore, the ability of sorghum, Sorghum bicolor L. Moench, to trap N. viridula adults in cotton was studied for 3 yr. The 2002 experimentwas designed t...
متن کاملEffect of relative humidity on emergence and on dispersal and regrouping of first instar Nezara viridula (L.) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae).
Laboratory studies with 1st instar of southern green stink bug, Nezara viridula (L.) indicated that relative humidity (RH) greatly affected nymph emergence and survivorship up to the 2nd instar, reaching the maximum value (approximately 90%) with RH of > 80%. At 60% RH, 60% of the nymphs emerged and survived, while with 0% RH only approximately 15% of eggs hatched, and most nymphs died. Emerged...
متن کاملDevelopment of a dry artificial diet for Nezara viridula (L.) and Euschistus heros (Fabricius) (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae).
Artificial diets prepared with wheat germ, soybean protein, dextrosol, potato starch, sucrose, cellulose, soybean or sunflower oil, and vitamin solution for rearing Nezara viridula (L.) and Euschistus heros (Fabricius) were tested under controlled temperature (25 +/- 1 degrees C), RH (60 +/- 10%), and photophase (14h). Three diets were tested and compared with the natural diet privet [soybean a...
