the sub-lethal effect of metarhizium anisopliae and imidacloprid as well as combination of the two control agents was examined on life table parameters of myzus persicae on different cultivars of canola under laboratory condition at 25 ± 1 ºc, 85% rh and photoperiod of 16l: 8d. the offspring resulting from fungus-infested adults were placed onto leaf discs in petri dishes separately to record t...

influence of 13 soybean cultivars (356, m4, m7, m9, clark, sahar, jk, bp, williams, l17, zane, gorgan3 and dpx) on the life table parameters of the cotton bollworm, helicoverpa armigera (hã¼bner) was studied at 25 â± 1â°c, relative humidity of 65 â± 5% and a photoperiod of 16: 8 (l: d) h. the survival rate (lx) of individuals developed to adults from the initial cohort on the mentioned cultivar...

the common green lacewing is an important natural enemy used for pest control in greenhouses. it is also very common in many agricultural systems. hence, studying lethal and sublethal effects of insecticides on this predator would be useful. toxicity of endosulfan, imidacloprid and indoxacarb was assessed on 1st instar larvae of chrysoperla carnea (stephens) in laboratory. residual bioassays we...
