Six compounds (IBA, chlorogenic acid, cytokinine, GA3, alar B-9 and maleic hydrazide) belonging to four different categories of plant growth hormones were used to study their effect on carbohydrate content in L. erysimi. The second instar nymphs (48 hr old) were given both dipping and leaf surface treatment with 1024 ppm concentration of compounds for two time intervals i.e. 48 and 96 hr. The c...

The exorbitant yield loss incurred by Indian farmers every year (10-90%) in rapeseed-mustard (Brassica juncea) is chiefly attributed to the progressive infestation of mustard fields by Lipaphis erysimi (Kalt.), a major insect pest belonging to the family of Homoptera. Currently there are no successful tolerant cultivars developed by conventional means in Brassica juncea with systemic plant resp...

essential oils (eos) extracted from aerial parts of aster indamellus grierson, calamintha umbrosa benth. and erigeron annuus (l.) pres.were analyzed by gc, gc/ms. the major acetylenic constituent (cis-lachnophyllum ester) of e. annuus was isolated and characterized by 1h and 13c-nmr spectra. their toxicity and repellent effect against lipaphiserysimi was tested. oils of e. annuus and c. umbrosa...

the toxicity of thiamethoxam and pirimicarb on diaeretiella rapae (mc'intosh) as a parasitoid of lipaphis erysimi (kaltenbach), exposed to residues on glass vials, was investigated under laboratory conditions at 23 ± 2 °c, 70 ± 5% rh and 16:8 h (l: d). moreover, in order to find the negative impacts of both insecticides on the efficiency of d. rapae, the functional response of the exposed paras...

The activity of eleven enzymes involved in development, ageing and in metabolism of xenobiotics in insects, was investigated under the influence of 2,4-D (2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid), in the mustard aphid, Lipaphis erysimi (Kaltenbach) (Rhynchota Aphididae), after treating the 2 instar nymphs for 13, 25 and 37 h. Studies of two hydrolases and one group transfer enzyme revealed significant e...

Mustard aphid, Lipaphis erysimi (L.) Kaltenbach is a perpetual annual threat in the cultivation of rapeseed- mustard (Brassica spp.) crop in tropical and sub-tropical climate. Cultivated Brassica germplasm has failed so far to provide any source of resistance. Wild germplasm is a potential source of resistance against many threatening herbivores. On wild germplasm screening, we noted that the w...

Brassica oilseed crops are grown all over the world, but aphids of cabbage, Brevicoryne brassicae L. and Turnip aphid Lipaphis erysimi Kalt, cause mischief to everywhere in world. A field experiment was conducted at Agricultural Farm Area Airport Campus Ghazi University Dera Khan during mid-November 2019 test eco-friendly management methods for mustard aphids. The laid out a randomized complete...

Studies regarding the determination of population trend of Lipaphis erysimi (kalt.) and its associated natural enemies in different Brassica lines along with the effect of gamma radiation on their population were conducted at Agricultural Research Farm, Malakandher, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Agricultural University Peshawar during spring 2006. Three different Brassica lines F6B3, F6B6 and F6B7 were us...
