PEST MANAGEMENT: INSECTS Volatiles Induction in Rice Stink Bug Host Grasses and Rice Plants

چکیده
Rice stink bug (RSB), Oebalus pugnax F., is an important pest of heading rice in the United States. Little is known about plant volatiles production following herbivory by rice stink bug. RSB feeding induced volatiles production in different RSB host grasses and rice varieties, and may help explain RSB movement to heading rice. Limonene and methyl salicylate (MeSA) were found in varying amounts from panicles of host grasses and rice. RSB feeding induced caryophyllene production from panicles of only rice and vaseygrass. Limonene was produced in higher amounts in the RSB-resistant rice cultivar ‘Kaybonnet’ than in more RSB-susceptible ‘Cocodrie’ and ‘Bengal’. Future studies should be conducted to assess effects of limonene and MeSA on feeding duration and development of RSB and note levels of these volatiles in other rice varieties.

Feeding Preference, Fecundity, and Egg Hatch of Rice Stink Bug, Oebalus pugnax (F.) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) on Artificial Diet, Rice, and Alternate Host Grasses
Feeding preference, mating frequency, fecundity, and egg hatch of rice stink bug, Oebalus pugnax (F.), were examined in the laboratory. Adult rice stink bugs were allowed to feed on one of four different food sources including barnyardgrass, dallisgrass, ryegrass, and a new artificial rice flour diet. Initially, a higher percentage of females fed on all food sources than did males. Ryegrass and...
متن کاملHost preference and suitability of grasses for Oebalus pugnax
The rice stink bug, Oebalus pugnax (Fabricius) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae: Carpocorini), though graminaceous, discriminates among its numerous host grass species. This could represent a feeding preference, it could be related to host suitability for growth and development. To clarify the role of host grass discrimination, two laboratory studies were conducted: (1) free-choice tests to evaluate pr...

The rice stalk stink bug, Tibraca limbativentris Stål (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), is a major pest of rice crops throughout Latin America. We investigated the occurrence of diapause in T. limbativentris, as well as the role of West Indian foxtail, Andropogon bicornis L.(Poaceae), in its seasonal abundance and mortality. This plant grows spontaneously in grasslands from Mexico to Argentina, includ...

Bacterial Panicle Blight (BPB) is a seedand residue-borne disease caused by the pathogens Burkholderia glumae and B. gladioli. In recent years, the incidence and severity of BPB appears to be correlated with the increases in abundance of insect pests of rice in Arkansas, notably rice stink bug [Oebalus pugnax (F.); RSB]. The objective of this study was to investigate the extent to which the BPB...

The rice stink bug, Oebalus pugnax (F.), is a graminaceous feeder, and the most injurious insect pest of heading rice, Oryza sativa L., in the United States. Rice growers are aware of the economic importance of host grasses in O. pugnax abundance. However, the need for increased knowledge of host sequence relative to O. pugnax abundance is vital. Densities of O. pugnax on 15 graminaceous hosts ...
