olive leaf moth, palpita :union:alis (hübner) is an injurious pest of nurseries, of young olivetrees, and also of the suckers of old trees. in feeds on some other such host plants as ash,jasmine and privet. knowledge of the biology and life table parameters of the pest species isneeded in any pest management program. in this work, life history traits and life tableparameters as well as the popu...

background: previous studies indicate a high incidence of digestive cancers along southern parts of caspian sea including ma­zandaran province. the present study was conducted to further investigate time to occurrence, age distribution and pos­sible risks associated with the incidence time of digestive cancers in the above regions. methods: for this purpose the data of digestive cancer incidenc...

spodoptera exigua (hübner) was studied in laboratory (25±1ºc, 60±5% rh, and 16:8 l:d h) exploring the antibiotic effects of 10 canola cultivars (sarigol, slm046, hayula420, rgs003, opera, okapi, licord, modena, zarfam and talaye) on its demographic parameters. the age-stage, two-sex and the traditional female age-specific life tables were constructed by using the demographic data. the larval pe...

life table parameters of the beet armyworm, spodoptera exigua (hã¼bner), on four sugar beet cultivars (renger, fd0005, dorothea and shirin) were studied in laboratory at 27 â± 1â°c, 60 â± 5% rh and a photoperiod of 16l: 8d hours. the larvae successfully developed on all cultivars. the shortest and longest total developmental time were recorded on fd0005 and renger, respectively. the development...

the effect of eight cucumis l. (cucurbitaceae) genotypes, including native cucumber genotypes (hormozgan, bushehr and gilan), greenhouse cucumber genotypes (girtap, negeen, sepehr and pouya) and armenian cucumber (cucumis melo var. flexuosus) was studied on the life table and population growth parameters of aphis gossypii glover to evaluate antibiosis resistance. the experiment was conducted at...
