    Importation of Fresh Beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), Shelled or in Pods, from Jordan into the Continental United States A Qualitative, Pathway-Initiated Risk Assessment February 14, 2011 Version 2 Agency Contact: Plant Epidemiology and Risk Analysis Laboratory Center for Plant Health Science and Technology United States Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service Plant Protection and Quarantine 1730 Varsity Drive, Suite 300 Raleigh, NC 27606 Pest Risk Assessment for Beans from Jordan Executive Summary In this risk assessment we examined the risks associated with the importation of fresh beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), in pods (French, green, snap, and string beans) or shelled, from the Kingdom of Jordan into the continental United States. We developed a list of pests associated with beans (in any country) that occur in Jordan on any host based on scientific literature, previous commodity risk assessments, records of intercepted pests at ports-of-entry, and information from experts on bean production. This is a qualitative risk assessment, as we express estimates of risk in descriptive terms (High, Medium, and Low) rather than numerically in probabilities or frequencies. We identified seven quarantine pests likely to follow the pathway of introduction. We estimated Consequences of Introduction by assessing five elements that reflect the biology and ecology of the pests: climate-host interaction, host range, dispersal potential, economic impact, and environmental impact. We estimated Likelihood of Introduction values by considering both the quantity of the commodity imported annually and the potential for pest introduction and establishment. We summed the Consequences of Introduction and Likelihood of Introduction values to estimate overall Pest Risk Potentials, which describe risk in the absence of mitigation.

  • Research Articles Oxygen Consumption by Ancylostomia Stercorea Zeller (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) Larvae: Effect of Temperature and Body Weight
    Vol. 23 (December 2020) Insect Environment Research Articles Oxygen consumption by Ancylostomia stercorea Zeller (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) larvae: effect of temperature and body weight Stanford A. Lawrence and Ayub Khan Department of Life Sciences University of the West Indies, St. Augustine, Trinidad Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract The influence of temperature on the respiration rate of Ancylostomia stercorea larvae was investigated because of modest research on this serious pigeon pea pest in the region. The respiratory rates of 3rd, 4th and 5th instar larvae were assessed at four temperatures 20, 25, 30 and 0 0 35 C. The mean oxygen consumption was greatest at 25 C for all three instars. The highest Q10 values were observed for all three instars at the temperature range 20-300C. There was a negative scaling relationship between oxygen consumption and A. stercorea larval body weight. Keywords: Pigeonpea, Ancylostomia stercorea, oxygen consumption, pod borer Introduction Pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan) (L) is an important drought tolerant grain legume crop grown in developing countries. The crop is ranked sixth in the world in terms of grain legume production with 5.96 x 106 tonnes produced in 2018 (FAOSTAT 2020). The major pigeon pea producing countries are India, Burma, Uganda and the Dominican Republic. In the Caribbean region the legume is grown mainly under rain fed conditions by small farmers, to whom the crop represents an important source of income. FAOSTAT (2020) ranked Trinidad, Jamaica and Grenada as 16th, 17th and 18th respectively in terms of pigeon pea production worldwide. The pigeon-pea crop is subject to insect attack throughout its growth; however, the most serious economic pests are those which attack the reproductive structures, including flowers, pods and seeds (Shanower et al., 1999; Buckmire 1978).

  • Key to Frequently Named Lepidopteran Larvae Intercepted, Or Potentially Encountered, at Us Ports
    KEY TO FREQUENTLY NAMED LEPIDOPTERAN LARVAE INTERCEPTED, OR POTENTIALLY ENCOUNTERED, AT US PORTS S. C. Passoa, 2014 This key is designed to identify the most frequently named Lepidoptera at United States ports of entry as of 2013. Because many species cannot be named (early instars or poorly studied groups), it is not a given that this key has all the most frequently intercepted taxa. Some genera may regularly intercepted but unrecognized. The huge variety of early instar Noctuidae/Erebidae is a good example of this problem. There are many other taxa in this category. Trade patterns are constantly changing over time, users should expect a need to delete or add species to this key in the future. Good comprehensive larval keys exist (Carter and Kristensen 1998, Stehr 1987) but as a rule they are too long and complicated for the volume of material we get in APHIS. Also, they rarely go past family. This key is a compromise between the need to for precision and speed. Thus, a good collection and detailed understanding of larval morphology is assumed and required. All of the references cited in the LepIntercept fact sheets need to be part of any port library. This document serves as a blanket recommendation for their purchase or copying costs from the APHIS Lepidoptera specialist to any port needing a justification. This key assumes eventual full access to the appropriate literature. Getting this information needs to be a priority for ports frequently intercepting larval Lepidoptera. Many of the copyrighted books are never going to be "on-line" and go out of print relatively fast.

    CARIBBEAN FOOD CROPS SOCIETY 22 Twenty Second Annual Meeting 1986 St. Lucia Vol. XXII TO~ARDSAN IPM PROGRAM FOR PIGEON PEA POD-BORERS IN THE CARIBBEAN M. Yaseen CAB International Institute of Biological Control Gordon St., Curepe Trinidad, In ABSTRACT The pigeon pea Cajanua e&jan is an important cultivated legume in the Caribbean. It is attacked by several insect pests. The pod borers ADcyloa­ to.ia stercorea. Fundella pellncens and Hellotbis virescens are major limit­ ing factors. A. stercorea ha s a rich complex of natural enemies in Trinidad and some of these may be given trials i.n territories where they do not occur. ~hilesome natural enemies of Y. pcllucclUI and H. virescens are known, these are inefficient. There is a need to introduce exotic natural enemies of these as well as related pod borers to improve natural control. The para­ sites usually build after severe initial borer damage has been inflicted. Possibilities of control by use of pheromones as well as by efficient use of chemical pesticides at early stage of damage by the borers need to be inves tigated. Two hitherto insignificant borers Pococera atrUle1ltella and Sphenarches caffer have in recent years been seen inflicting severe damage which calls for investigations of susceptibility of new varieties of pigeon peas. INTRODUCTION Pigeon pea, Csjsuus cajan, is cu I tivated throughou t most of the Common­ wealth Caribbean and forms an important source of protein. Traditionally, it has been a subsistence crop. Due to the drop in sugar prices on the world market, some sugar-producing countries have embarked on a programme of diversification, placing emphasis on ~ncreasedpigeon pea production both for domestic consumption and export markets.

  • Developing the Region's Grain/Legume and Other Protein Sources"
    GROUP IV: "DEVELOPING THE REGION'S GRAIN/LEGUME AND OTHER PROTEIN SOURCES" 219. GRAIN LEGUMES WITH DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL FOR THE CARIBBEAN REGION R.E. Pierre (9LrocLor; C.A.R.D.I.,7Uniersity -of the'W6stUndies, St. Augustine, Trinidad) Introduction Grain legumes, by virtue of their high protein content and relatively low cost, are potentially capable of alleviating protein malnutrition among millions of people particularly in developing countries. One or more grain legume finds ready acceptance among the inhabitants of practically every country. The storage, handling and transportation of these commodities present comparatively few problems owing to their low moisture content, thus facilitating distribution. The wide range of grain legume types makes them adaptable to various systems of cultivation ranging from backyard and small farm production to highly mechanised production systems. Because of their symbiotic relationship with root-nodule bacteria (Rhizobium sp.) they can be grown on many soils without supplemental nitrogen - a feature which cannot be over-emphasized owing to the ever increasing cost of fertilizers. In spite of these major attributes, certain constraints so far have restricted the capability of grain legumes to provide the deficient protein. These include their overall lcw level of yield, unfavourable systems of cultivation, extreme susceptibility to various pests and diseases (see Table 1) restrictions in utilization owing to consumer preferences and certain undesirable features, e.g., flatu- lence factors, antimetabolites (trypsin inhibitors, hemaglutinins and , associated toxic factors, cyanogenic glycosides, goiterogenic factors), poor digestibility and peculiar flavours. Fortunately, most of the antimetabolites are heat labile so that with proper cooking or heat processing the dangers associated with high levels of consumption can be almost totally eliminated.

  • Life History Evolution in the Parasitoid Hymenoptera Ruth Elizabeth Traynor
    Life history evolution in the parasitoid Hymenoptera Ruth Elizabeth Traynor This thesis was submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of York Department of Biology 2004 Abstract This thesis addresses life history evolution of the parasitoid Hymenoptera. It aims to identify assumptions that should be incorporated into parasitoid life history theory and the predictions that theory should aim to make. Both two species and multi-species comparative studies as well as up-to-date phylogenetic information are employed to investigate these issues. Anecdotal observations suggest that solitary parasitoids have narrower host ranges than closely related gregarious species. There are several possible reasons for this; for example gregarious species may be able to exploit larger bodied hosts because they can fully consume the host, which may be essential for successful pupation to occur. Comparative laboratory experiments between two closely related species of Aphaereta, one of which is solitary and the other gregarious, show no difference in the extent of host range. This study does, however, suggest that differences in the realized niche that each species occupies in the field may result from life history differences between the species. These differences may themselves have arisen due to solitary or gregarious development. The first multi-species study in the thesis uses a data set, compiled for the parasitic Hymenoptera by Blackburn (1990), to address factors that may influence body size and clutch size. This study builds on previous analyses of the data (see Blackburn 1990, 1991a/b, Mayhew & Blackburn 1999) through the use of up-to-date phylogenetic information. Evidence is found that the host stage attacked by a parasitoid is associated with both body and clutch size, due to the amount of resources available for the developing parasitoids.

    ' REPORT ON THE LEPIDOPTERA OF THE SMITHSONIAN BIOLOGICAL SURVEY OF THE PANAMA CANAL ZONE. By Harrison G. Dyar, Cii!(todian of Lepidoptera, United States National Museum. The present paper deals with the so-called Macrolepidoptera col- lected in Panama under the auspices of the Smithsonian Biological Survey, in the Canal Zone and from localities outside of it. Most of the specimens here treated were collected by Mr. August ' ' ' Busck, who went primarily to collect ' Micros ' and took the ' 'Macros only as a side issue. Consequently the larger "Macros," especially the Papilionoidea and the larger moths will be found poorly repre- sentsd in this list. The little "Macros," especially the small Noc- tuidse, LithosiidfB, and Pyralidge, will be found unusually well repre- sented, many hitherto undiscovered species being among them. There are reported on here 8,254 specimens in 1 ,713 species.
