چکیده
J. Econ. Entomol. ii: 1144-1148 (1984) ABSTRACT Seed oils of many sapindaceous plants contain substantial amounts of cyanolipids. Several of these oils stimulated aggregation of the sawtoothed grain beetle, Oryzaephilus surinamensis (L.), and the confused flour beetle, Tribolium confusum (Jacquelin duVal). In a pitfall bioassay, they attracted the sawtoothed grain beetle and the rice weevil, Sitophilus oryzae (L.), but repelled the confused flour beetle. For the most part, the four classes of cyanolipids did not attract or stimulate aggregation of these insects when tested in pure form separated from the accompanying triglycerides. When contacted, oils containing cyanolipids I or IV (or pure cyanolipids I or IV) temporarily paralyzed sawtoothed grain beetles. None of the cyanolipids produced similar effects in confused flour beetles, rice weevils, or striped cucumber beetles, Acalymma vittata (F.). vVhen incorporated into the larval diet of the European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis (Hiibner), cyanolipids II and IV produced severe toxicity and antipupation effects, respectively.

Applying imidacloprid via a precision banding system to control striped cucumber beetle (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) in cucurbits.
The striped cucumber beetle, Acalymma vittatum (F.) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), is a key pest of cucurbit crops throughout its range. A novel precision band applicator was designed to inject a solid stream of imidacloprid solution in-furrow directly over the seed during planting to reduce beetle leaf feeding on pumpkin, zucchini, and cucumber crops. In 2004 and 2005, bioassays at the cotyledon...

Plant resistance is a promising control method for the two most damaging insect pests of maize, Zea mays L.: the European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis (Hübner), and the western corn rootworm, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte. Fifteen experimental lines of maize, derived from a backcross breeding program designed to introgress resistance to European corn borer from Peruvian maize into tw...

Efficacy of thiamethoxam (Cruiser) and imidacloprid (Gaucho) were evaluated as seed treatments for controlling European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis (Hübner) and Indianmeal moth, Plodia interpunctella (Hübner) larvae in stored grain. At approximately 22-26 degrees C, all fifth instar European corn borers died after two or 4 d of exposure to corn treated with 250 and 500 ppm thiamethoxam, resp...

Field and laboratory studies were conducted to examine the relationship between foliar feeding damage caused by striped cucumber beetle, Acalymma vittatum (F.) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), and yield of pumpkin, Cucurbita pepo L. (var. Spookie). In field trials in 1996 and 1997, plants were artificially infested with varying numbers of beetles at the cotyledon-, first-, second-, or third-leaf st...
