The genus Eurygaster Laporte, 1833 includes ten species five of which inhabit the European part of Russia. The harmful species of the genus is E. integriceps. Eurygaster species identification based on the morphological traits is very difficult, while that of the species at the egg or larval stages is extremely difficult or impossible. Eurygaster integriceps, E. maura, and E. testudinaria diffe...

In this study, five morphological types of circulating hemocytes were recognized in the hemolymph of the adult sunn pest, Eurygaster integriceps Puton (Hemiptera: Scutelleridae), namely prohemocytes, plasmatocytes, granulocytes, adipohemocytes, and oenocytoids. The effects of the secondary metabolites of the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana on cellular immune defenses of Eurygaster in...

The crops are attacked by several species of bugs. Sunn pest, is the most important pest constitutes a major threat to wheat production and, to a lesser extent, barley production. Sunn pests are a complex of true bugs which belong to the genera Eurygaster (Scutelleridae), Aelia, Carpocoris and Dolycoris (Pentatomidae). Eurygaster integriceps is probably the most important species in Afghanistan...

Sunn pest is one of the most important cereal pests that affect both grain yield and quality of cereal in Iran. One potential control strategy is to use entomopathogenic fungi such as Beauveria bassiana Vuillemin as mycoinsecticide to control this pest. Naturally infested Sunn pests in Kermanshah province were collected and brought to laboratory. 10 isolates were selected for further analysis i...

The most effective methods of protection are described and the results long-term observations dynamics number harmfulness Eurygaster integriceps Put on industrial wheat crops in conditions Fergana Valley Republic Uzbekistan presented. A reliable positive correlation dependence grain damage from larvae was established. ways principles choosing essential factors development mathematical models fo...

The effect of triticale α-amylases inhibitors on starch hydrolysis catalyzed by the Sunn pest, Eurygaster integriceps Puton (Hemiptera: Scutelleridae) midgut amylases was examined. Biochemical studgawies showed that inhibitors from Triticale (a hybrid of wheat and rye) had inhibitiory effects on E. integriceps α-amylases. The effects of the triticale α-amylase inhibitor (T-αAI) on α-amylase of ...

In the current study the effects of serine proteinase inhibitors (TLCK, TPCK, SBTI, and a combination of SBTI and TPCK) with concentrations of 1% and 4% of dietary protein in artificial diets were tested against growth of the Sunn pest, Eurygaster integriceps Puton (Hemiptera: Scutelleridae), development, and its gut serine proteinase targets. Analysis of variance indicated that protease inhibi...

The Sunn pest, Eurygaster integriceps Puton (Hemiptera: Scutelleridae), is the most important pest of wheat and barley in wide areas of the world. Different aspects of the insect's life history have been studied, but to date nothing is known about their microbial symbionts. Here, the contribution of symbiotic bacteria to the fitness of the bug was investigated by combining two different approac...

the sunn pest is a serious pest of cereals causing severe damage to cereals especially of wheat. its life cycle has two different phases, one is growth and development phase and the other is diapause phase which takes place in adult stage. in this study the effects of juvenile hormone analogue pyriproxyfen, ecdysone analogue methoxyfenozide and mixture of pyriproxyfen and methoxyfenozide on dia...
