Bracon admotus Papp, 2000, and three species of the genus Habrobracon Ashmead, 1895, Habrobracon concolorans (Marshall, 1900), Habrobracon hebetor (Say, 1836) and Habrobracon pillerianae Fischer, 1980, were obtained from the larvae of Lobesia botrana (Denis & Schiffermüller, 1775) (Lepidoptera, Tortricidae) feeding on Daphne gnidium Linnaeus, 1753 (Thymelaeaceae) in the natural reserve of Migli...

The biology of Bracon hebetor Say (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) reared on fifth instars of Anagasta kuehniella (Zeller) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) (natural diet) and in vitro (artificial diet) was evaluated. Data on the number of instars, development time and food intake were collected, and histochemical tests were conducted to detect proteins and lipids in the parasitoid's digestive tract. The data ...

The quantity and quality of host insect diets is strongly related with the development parasitoid offspring. To evaluate prediction that effects artificial on ecto-larval Bracon hebetor Say (Hymenoptera: Braconidae); Ephestia kuehniella Zeller (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) larvae were reared different diets. We used corn flour + bran (control), oat bran, rye carob einkorn potato (1:1) as diet. numbe...

This article discusses the importance of representatives Braconidae family in regulating number harmful moths various agrobiocenoses. In order to determine species composition and biological features development entomophage Tashkent region, samples eggs, larvae butterflies occurring moth. Along with this, moth affected by entomophages were collected determined which they affected. As a result, ...

We read with interest the report by Holmsen and Leasure (1) in which they reported the growth-inhibiting property of tris(1-aziridinyl)phosphine oxide (APO) on grasses. We feel that one of the most important biological properties of the chemical was not mentioned in the report, namely, the ability to induce mutations. Indeed APO is a powerful mutagen; APO (or triethylenephosphoramide, TEPA) pro...
