EFFECT OF CRUDE SEED EXTRACT OF SOME INDIGENOUS PLANTS FOR THE CONTROL OF LEGUME POD BORER (Maruca vitrata F.) ON COUNTRY BEAN
نویسندگان
چکیده
The crude seed extract of neem, black pepper, mahogani, and garlic bulb with three doses were evaluated against legume pod borer in the country bean field in two seasons kharif 2006 and rabi 2006-2007. The neem seed extract applied @150 and 100 g/l and mahogani seed extract @ 100 g/l of water 7 days intervals on the country bean showed better performance in the reduction of flower and pod damage with significantly higher yield of bean in both the seasons. The seed extracts lost the efficacy against legume pod borer after 7 days of application.

Abstract: We investigated the role of floral odors from cowpea, Vigna unguiculata (L.), in mediating oviposition of the bean pod borer moth, Maruca vitrata, a serious pest of grain legumes that flies to host plants at the flowering stage and oviposits onto flowers and buds. The flower of the host plant V. unguiculata was a stimulus for egg-laying by M. vitrata in an oviposition bioassay. Commer...

The legume pod borer, Maruca vitrata (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), is an insect pest species of crops grown by subsistence farmers in tropical regions of Africa. We present the de novo assembly of 3729 contigs from 454- and Sanger-derived sequencing reads for midgut, salivary, and whole adult tissues of this non-model species. Functional annotation predicted that 1320 M. vitrata protein coding gene...

The bean pod borer, Maruca vitrata Fabricius (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), is a serious pantropical pest of grain legumes. A suitable artificial diet is desirable for producing uniform insects for commercial purposes or research. Three previously described artificial diets, 1 newly-developed artificial diet, and cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp. (Fabales: Fabaceae)), the natural hostplant of M. ...
متن کاملThe spatial genetic differentiation of the legume pod borer, Maruca vitrata F. (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) populations in West Africa.
The legume pod borer, Maruca vitrata, is an endemic insect pest that causes significant yield loss to the cowpea crop in West Africa. The application of population genetic tools is important in the management of insect pests but such data on M. vitrata is lacking. We applied a set of six microsatellite markers to assess the population structure of M. vitrata collected at five sites from Burkina...
