North St., Geneva, NY 14456 USA ABSTRACT Plutella xylostella (L.) (Lepidoptera : Plutellidae), the diamondback moth (DBM) is the most widely distributed insect pest of crucifers (Talekar and Shelton 1993; Zalucki and Furlong 2011). The pest status of DBM seems to have increased since the 1960s, when large-scale application of chemical insecticides began on vegetable crucifers (Talekar and Shelton 1993) and now costs the world economy USD $ 4-5 billion annually (Zalucki et al. 2012). Because of its pest status, there have been six international workshops devoted to the biology, ecology, and management of this pest (Talekar and Griggs 1985; Talekar1992; Sivapragasam et al. 1997; Endersby and Ridland 2004; Shelton 2008; Srinivasan et al. 2011). These proceedings represent papers presented at the seventh workshop, held in Bengaluru, India from 23-26 March, 2015. OVER the years the “DBM and other Crucifer Pests” failure of insecticides and availability of “new” workshops have changed. Here we summarize the chemistries (Figure 1). IPM has been a central theme changes in research and extension areas over the years over all workshops although the percentage of and then ask: how is it that with all this time and effort presentations devoted to it has varied by workshop DBM remains one of the key pests of Brassicas? (Figure 1b). This variation in classifying the “broad theme of IPM” may be misleading since it probably The focus of papers (first 6 proceedings) and reflects the variation in components of IPM: host plant presentations (in Bengaluru) has changed resistance (see Srinivasan et al. 2017a; this dramatically, although some things remain the same proceedings); IPM tactics, decision tools and (Figure 1). In all of the workshops there has always implementation (see Alam et al. 2017; Ketelaar et al. been an emphasis on insecticides and insecticide 2017; Patil et al. 2017; Srinivasan et al. 2017b; this resistance management (Figure 1a) (e.g., Juil et al. proceedings).

  • Entomofauna Associada À Couve Em Pequenas Propriedades Rurais Em Lucas Do Rio Verde, Mato Grosso Entomofauna Associated with Ca
    Revista Ibero-Americana de Ciências Ambientais Ibero-American Journal of Environmental Sciences Out a Nov 2020 - v.11 - n.6 ISSN: 2179-6858 This article is also available online at: www.sustenere.co Entomofauna associada à couve em pequenas propriedades rurais em Lucas do Rio Verde, Mato Grosso Os insetos associados à couve possuem importância ambiental, uma vez que eles estão ligados ao desenvolvimento direto e indireto desta cultura. A couve está presente na mesa de muitos brasileiros, o que gera demanda ao homem do campo para produzi-la e comercializá-la e são os agricultores familiares os responsáveis por quase toda produção de couve, embora nem sempre estão munidos de conhecimento e assistência técnica. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo identificar a entomofauna associada ao cultivo da couve em 10 pequenas propriedades em Lucas do Rio Verde (Mato Grosso) na área de transição Cerrado-Amazônia. Em cada uma delas, foram realizadas 18 coletas durante maio de 2018 a abril de 2019, totalizando 180 coletas, realizadas a cada 20 dias. Os insetos foram capturados por meio de armadilhas adesivas amarelas e identificados ao nível de família e, quando possível, identificados ao nível de espécie. Foram coletados 64.194 insetos em 540 armadilhas, pertencentes a 46 famílias, sendo as mais abundantes Ceratopogonidae, Cicadellidae e Aleyrodidae, respectivamente. Foi possível identificar cinco insetos-praga (Agrotis ípsilon, Ascia monuste, Bemisia sp., Diabrotica speciosa e Plutella xylostella), cinco famílias de insetos parasitoides (Braconidae, Chalcididae, Diapriidae, Ichneumonidae e Pteromalidae) e 11 famílias de insetos predadores (Anthocoridae, Carabiidae, Chrysopidae, Coccinelidae, Coreidae, Forficulidae, Mantidae, Pentatomidae, Reduviidae, Syrphidae e Vespidae).

Abstract The cabbage looper moth (CLM), Trichoplusia ni (Hübner) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is an agricultural pest that has developed resistance to many frequently used insecticides, so alternative methods are required to reduce greenhouse CLM populations. Host plant volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) are used by female CLMs as cues for host location and oviposition. I hypothesized that changes in host plant VOC production, through genetic modification, could alter host location behaviour by CLMs. These changes in VOCs have potential to give rise to highly attractive transgenic trap crops.

    ALTERNATIVAS DE CONTROLE DE AFÍDEOS NO CULTIVO DA COUVE (Brassica oleracea) COM ÊNFASE A Lipaphis erysimi (KALT.) (HEMIPTERA: APHIDIDAE) por RICARDO LOPES DE MELO (Sob Orientação do Professor Edmilson Jacinto Marques) RESUMO Lipaphis erysimi (Kalt.) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) é uma praga relevante para couve, não existindo agrotóxicos registrados no Brasil para o seu controle. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi avaliar o controle biológico com fungos entomopatogênicos e a sua associação com óleo de nim em afídeos da couve, com ênfase para L. erysimi. A participação deste, no complexo de pragas da couve em Pernambuco foi avaliada. Dentre os seis municípios monitorados L. erysimi mostrou-se mais freqüente em João Alfredo (68,7%), Recife (63,9%) e Vitória de Santo Antão (74,6%). Cycloneda sanguinea (L.) (Coleoptera: Coccinelidae), Lysiphlebus testaiceipes (Cresson) (Hymenoptera: Aphidiidae), Syrphidae e Lecanicillium muscarium (Petch) Zare & Gams foram constatados. As linhagens de Beauveria bassiana URPE 27 e de Lecanicillium muscarium URPE 28 foram eleitas como mais virulentas, causando em ninfas taxa de mortalidade de 83% e 77%, 7 6 sobrevivência 2,1 e 3,3 dias e Concentração Letal (CL50) de 2,4x10 con/ml e 7,3x10 con/ml, respectivamente. O óleo de nim, quando pulverizado apresentou CL50 de 0,2mL/l e de 3,7mL/l, aplicado em imersão. O óleo em concentração de 1,25mL/l causou mortalidade de 80% das ninfas em 24horas. Efeito fitotóxico foi promovido em concentrações acima de 2,5mL/L. A associação do nim com B. bassiana URPE 27 e L. muscarium URPE 28 mostrou-se compatível. Em campo, a linhagem URPE 27 causou eficiência relativa de 89,6%, 88,3% e 90,4%, enquanto que URPE 28 i promoveu 45,5%, 62% e 64,4% contra L.

  • In Partnership with CATERPILLAR PESTS OF
    In partnership with CATERPILLAR PESTS OF BRASSICA CROPS – 21st May 2019 Summaries of sightings of diamond-back moth and silver Y moth in several northern European countries in 2019 can be found here: https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/lifesci/wcc/research/pests/plutella/sightings2019/. These are moths captured or seen and reported on 'biodiversity monitoring' websites. The summaries of ‘citizen science’ moth sightings in the UK and on the continent will be supplemented by on- farm monitoring of diamond-back moth by several members of the Brassica Growers Association. Large numbers of diamond-back moths arrived in the UK on Friday 17th May https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/lifesci/wcc/research/pests/plutella/sightings2019/. The moths were first seen along the east coast of England but may have moved since then. This seems to have been the only ‘pulse’ of moths so far as lower numbers have been seen since then. If they arrive in brassicas then it is likely that the female diamond-back moths will lay eggs quite rapidly. You can get some idea of how long the eggs might take to hatch from the table on this web page https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/lifesci/wcc/research/pests/plutella/.

  • Identification of Insects, Spiders and Mites in Vegetable Crops: Workshop Manual Loopers Chrysodeixis Spp
    Important pests in vegetable crops This section gives descriptions of common pests found in Australian vegetable crops. They are listed according to the insect order they belong to. Moths and butterflies (Lepidoptera) Heliothis (corn earworm, tomato budworm, native budworm) Helicoverpa spp. Heliothis larvae feed as leaf eaters and bud and fruit borers on a wide range of plants, including many weeds. Adults lay round, domed, ribbed eggs that are cream when newly laid, turning brownish (‘brown ring’ stage) as they mature. Larvae grow up to 40 mm long and vary in colour from green through yellow and brown to almost black, with a pale stripe down each side. The moths have a wing span of 35–45 mm. Heliothis moth at rest These are some examples of heliothis damage to vegetable crops: • On lettuce and brassicas, larvae feed on the outer leaves or tunnel into the heart of the plant. • In tomato crops, eggs are laid on the leaves, flowers and fruit. Young larvae burrow into flowers causing them to fall and they cause pinhole damage to very young tomato fruit. Older larvae burrow into the fruit, creating holes and encouraging rots to develop. • In capsicum, larvae feed on the fruit and the seed inside the fruit. Eggs are laid mainly on leaves, but also on flowers and buds. Heliothis eggs on tomato shoot • In sweet corn, eggs are laid on the silks and leaves. Larvae feed on the developing grains on the cob, sometimes on the leaves and often inside the tip of the corn cob. • In green beans and peas, the larvae feed on the flowers, pods and developing seed inside the pods.

SERVICE AND REGULATORY ANNOUNCEMENTS LIST OF INTERCEPTED PLANT PESTS, 1943 (List of Pests Recorded During the Period July 1, 1942, to June 30, 1943, Inclusive, as Intercepted in, on, or with Plants anid-Plant Products Entering United States Territory.) INTRODUCTION This report covers the thirtieth year for which lsts of pest interceptions have been issued. During the first year, the fiscal year 1914, a total of 1,456 inter- ceptions were recorded. The highest number in any list is 81,592 for the fiscal year 1940. Interceptions for the thirty-year period total more than 600,000. The records summarized in this report include pests intercepted in, on, or with plants and plant products (1) imported, (2) offered for but refused entry, (3) held as ships' stores, etc., and hence not imported through customs, (4) offered for entry for immediate export or for immediate transportation and exportation in bond, and (5) in domestic shipments between Hawaii and Puerto Rico and the mainland. Determinations of collections made near the close of the preceding year are included with data for the current year. In addition to routine reports and determinations by the personnel of this Bureau, considerable information is supplied by State and customs officials. Staffs of specialists maintained by the States of California and Florida and the Territory of Hawaii determine most of the interceptions made there, and specialists of the Bureau of Plant Industry determine a large part of the more difficult plant-disease material.

  • Cabbage Moth Mamestra Brassicae
    Michigan State University’s invasive species factsheets Cabbage moth Mamestra brassicae The cabbage moth is a highly polyphagous defoliator, but particularly damaging to cabbage in Europe and Asia. Larval feeding and frass accumulation can lower the commercial value of infested crops. Its introduction to Michigan may pose a concern in particular to vegetable industries, but its infestation may extend to fruit, floriculture, ornamental and other crops. Michigan risk maps for exotic plant pests. Systematic position Insecta > Lepidoptera > Noctuidae > Mamestra brassicae (Linnaeus) Global distribution The insect’s range extends throughout the Palearctic region (Europe, Asia north of the Himalayas and Africa north of the Sahara). Quarantine status This insect is not known to be introduced into North Adult. (Photo: S. van der Molen) America. Plant hosts The cabbage moth is highly polyphagous, known to feed on more than 70 plant species from 22 families. Caterpillars prefer to feed on cruciferous plants, especially cabbage and related Brassica spp. (Brussels sprout, cauliflower, turnip). Other hosts include apple, beetroot, onion, potato, rhubarb and tomato. In Britain, they are an occasional pest of carnations and chrysanthemums grown in greenhouses (Carter 1984). Biology Female moths lay clusters of 20 to 100 eggs on the underside of host plant leaves. Larvae feed on leaves at night and hide at the plant’s base during daytime. Mature larvae burrow into the ground 5-10 cm deep and pupate in a fragile cocoon. They overwinter as pupae. Adults can be Larvae on cauliflower (Photo: BASF) seen from May to October. The moths fly at night and are attracted to light and nectar-rich flowers.
