Journal of Entomology and Zoology Studies 2019; 7(1): 1541-1546 E-ISSN: 2320-7078 P-ISSN: 2349-6800 Evaluation of some new insecticide mixtures for JEZS 2019; 7(1): 1541-1546 © 2019 JEZS management of litchi fruit borer Received: 26-11-2018 Accepted: 30-12-2018 SK Fashi Alam SK Fashi Alam, Biswajit Patra and Arunava Samanta Department of Agricultural Entomology, Bidhan Chandra Abstract Krishi Viswavidyalaya, Mohanpur, Nadia, West Bengal, Litchi fruit borer is a serious threat of litchi production causing significant economic losses. Insecticides India are the first choice to the farmers to manage this serious pest of litchi. Therefore, field experiments were conducted to evaluate some new mixture formulation of insecticides against litchi fruit borer during 2013 Biswajit Patra and 2014. The experiments were conducted at the Horticultural Farm of Bidhan Chandra Krishi Department of Agricultural Viswavidyalaya, Kalyani, Nadia, West Bengal, India in litchi orchard (cv. Bombai). Results of the Entomology, Uttar Banga Krishi experiments revealed that all the treatments were significantly superior over control. Chlorantraniliprole Viswavidyalaya, Pundibari, 9.3% +lambda cyhalothrin 4.6 % 150 ZC @ 35 g a.i./ha provided the best result both in terms of Cooch Behar, West Bengal, India minimum fruit infestation (12.12 %) and maximum yield (95.92 kg/plant in weight basis and 4316.5 fruit/plant in number basis) followed by the treatment chlorantraniliprole10% +thiamethoxam 20% 300 Arunava Samanta SC @150 g a.i./ha (13.10% mean fruit infestation). Amongst the various treatments, thiamethoxam Department of Agricultural 25WG was the least effective as this treatment recorded the highest fruit infestation (22.88 % mean fruit Entomology, Bidhan Chandra infestation) and thereby lowest yield (78.16 kg/plant in weight basis and 3517 fruit/ plant in number Krishi Viswavidyalaya, basis). -

Flora 1, Bulaksumur, Sleman, Yogyakarta 55281 *Corresponding author. E-mail: [email protected] Received March, 1 2017; accepted May, 8 2017 ABSTRACT Cocoa pod borer (CPB), Conopomorpha cramerella Snellen (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae) is a major pest of cocoa. Detection of the pest infestation using sex pheromone traps in the early growth and development of cocoa pods is important for an early warning system programme. In order to prevent the pest infestation the young pods were wrapped with plastic bags. A research to study the CPB incidence was conducted at cocoa plantations in Banjarharjo and Banjaroya villages, District of Kalibawang; Hargotirto and Hargowilis villages, District of Kokap; and Pagerharjo village, District of Samigaluh, Yogyakarta. The experiments design used RCBD with four treatments (sex pheromone trap, combination of sex pheromone trap and pod wrapping, pod wrapping, and control) and five replications. As many as 6 units/ha pheromone traps were installed with a distance of 40 m in between. Results showed that one month prior to the trap installation in the experimental plots there were ripen cocoa pods as many as 9-13%, which were mostly infested by CPB. During the time period of introducting research on August to Desember 2016 there was not rambutan fruits as the CPB host, hence the CPB resource was from infested cocoa pods. -

ABSTRACT Cocoa pod borers from Tawau, Sabah and Sua Betong, Negeri Sembilan and rambutan fruit borers from Serdang and Puchong, Selangor and Kuala Kangsar, Perak, Malaysia were subjected to electrophoretic analysis in an effort to find diagnostic electromorphs between these two biotypes ofConopomorpha cramerella. Thirty enzymes and general proteins were successfully demonstrated on zymograms but none of them could serve as diagnostic markers between cocoa pod borers and rambutanfruit borers.

The Governor of Puerto Rico, cooperating with the island’s communities and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, selected the present site of the station at Mayaguez: the farm known as Hacienda Carmen, 235 acres donated by the City of Mayaguez. At its inception, this facility was known as the Federal Experiment Station. In 1975 it became the Mayaguez Institute of Tropical Agriculture (mita), and in 1982 was renamed the Tropical Ag- riculture Research Station (tars). Since 1961 it has been part of the Agricultural Research Service’s Tropical Crops and Germplasm Research Division. When established, the Federal Experiment Station was the island’s only institution for agricul- 2 tural research, and horticultural research has always been prominent in the station’s program. -
(Nephelium Ramboutan-Ake) Genetic Diversity in Bogor, West Java, Using Microsatellite Markers
doi: 10.11594/jtls.06.03.09 THE JOURNAL OF TROPICAL LIFE SCIENCE OPEN ACCESS Freely available online VOL. 6, NO. 3, pp. 184 - 189, September 2016 Submitted October 2015; Revised August 2016; Accepted September 2016 Evaluation of Pulasan (Nephelium ramboutan-ake) Genetic Diversity in Bogor, West Java, Using Microsatellite Markers Amelia Luisyane Puhili, Tatik Chikmawati*, Nina Ratna Djuita Department of Biology, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Bogor Agricultural University, Bogor, Indonesia ABSTRACT Pulasan (Nephelium ramboutan-ake (Labill.) Leenh) fruit is highly similar to rambutan rapiah (Nephelium lap- paceum) fruit with ovate shape, sweet and sour fresh taste, but it has a thick rind. The diversity of pulasan is little informed including in Bogor. The objective of this study was to analyze the genetic diversity of pulasan from Bo- gor revealed by microsatellite marker. The DNA of 63 individuals from 10 populations of pulasan were extracted using CTAB method and amplified using two primer sets, LMLY6 (GA)9(CA)2(GA)4 dan LMLY12 (CT)11. DNA amplification product was visualized and arranged in a matrix of binary data then analyzed the value of the number of different alleles (Na), the number of effective alleles (Ne), Shannon information index (I), heterozygos- ity (He), and the percentage of polymorphism (PLP). The results of the analysis showed the highest genetic diver- sity was found in North Bogor (He=0.313). The genetic diversity within a population (61%) was higher than that among populations (39%). A dendrogram was constructed using the Unweighted Pair Group Method with arith- metic Mean (UPGMA). The similarity index ranged from 52 to 100% that means there are close relationships among individuals. -
Technical Guidelines for the Safe Movement of Cacao Germplasm
Technical Guidelines for the Safe Movement of Cacao Germplasm (Revised from the FAO/IPGRI Technical Guidelines No. 20) Edited by Michelle J End, Andrew J Daymond and Paul Hadley CacaoNet (www.cacaonet.org) is an international network for cacao genetic resources coordinated by Bioversity International with a steering committee and working groups composed of representatives from various cocoa research institutes and organizations supporting cocoa research. CacaoNet aims to optimize the conservation and use of cacao genetic resources, as the foundation of a sustainable cocoa economy (from farmers through research to consumers), by coordinating and strengthening the conservation and related research efforts of a worldwide network of public and private sector stakeholders. Bioversity International (www.bioversityinternational.org) is an independent international scientific organization that seeks to improve the well-being of present and future generations of people by enhancing conservation and the deployment of agricultural biodiversity on farms and in forests. It is one of 15 centres supported by the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR), an association of public and private members who support efforts to mobilize cutting-edge science to reduce hunger and poverty, improve human nutrition and health, and protect the environment. Bioversity has its headquarters in Maccarese, near Rome, Italy, with offices in more than 20 other countries worldwide. The organization operates through four programmes: Diversity for Livelihoods, Understanding and Managing Biodiversity, Global Partnerships, and Commodities for Livelihoods.
