The research supported seeks environmentally sound, sustainable agriculture production and food delivery systems for peanut. The program has five thrusts addressing priority constraints to the global peanut industry (aflatoxin, production efficiency, socio-economic forces, postharvest processing, and utilization). Peanut CRSP also works to foster human resource development and the communication of research results. The Peanut CRSP provides support for collaborative research, training, and exchange of information through grants to 10 universities in USA linked to 14 host countries in the developing world. Both host countries and USA are expected to benefit from the activities of Peanut CRSP. Peanut CRSP actively collaborates with other organizations with interest in advancing development through the application of science and technology. About ICRISAT The semi-arid tropics (SAT) encompasses parts of 48 developing countries including most of India, parts of southeast Asia, a swathe across sub-Saharan Africa, much of southern and eastern Africa, and parts of Latin America. Many of these countries are among the poorest in the world. Approximately one-sixth of the world's population lives in the SAT, which is typified by unpredictable weather, limited and erratic rainfall, and nutrient-poor soils. ICRISAT's mandate crops are sorghum, pearl millet, finger millet, chickpea, pigeonpea, and groundnut; these six crops are vital to life for the ever-increasing populations of the SAT. ICRISAT's mission is to conduct research which can lead to enhanced sustainable production of these crops and to improved management of the limited natural resources of the SAT. ICR1SAT communicates information on technologies as they are developed through workshops, networks, training, library services, and publishing. ICRISAT was established in 1972. It is one of 16 nonprofit research and training centers funded through the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR). The CGIAR is an informal association of approximately 50 public and private sector donors; it is co-sponsored by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), and the World Bank.

Egyptian Journal of Biological Pest Control (2020) 30:82 Egyptian Journal of https://doi.org/10.1186/s41938-020-00282-5 Biological Pest Control RESEARCH Open Access Characterization and field evaluation of tetrahedral and triangular nucleopolyhedrovirus of Spilosoma obliqua (SpobNPV) strain NBAIR1 against jute hairy caterpillar G. Sivakumar1*, M. Kannan2, V. Ramesh Babu3, M. Mohan1, Surabhi Kumari1, R. Rangeshwaran1, T. Venkatesan1 and Chandish R. Ballal1 Abstract Jute hairy caterpillar, Spilosoma (=Spilarctia) obliqua (Walker) (Arctiidae: Lepidoptera), is an irregular and polyphagous insect pest that occurs all over India. A severe natural viral epizootic was observed in the field population of S. obliqua in jute. The virus was characterized as Spilosoma obliqua nucleopolyhedrovirus (SpobNPV NBAIR1) based on morphological, biological, and molecular characterization. Under scanning and transmission electron microscopy (SEM and TEM), the occlusion bodies (OBs) of SpobNPV NBAIR1 appeared as both tetrahedral and triangular with the size ranged from 1.04-1.72 μm. The results on the bioassay studies revealed that the lowest 2 LC50 value of 2.93 OBs/mm by leaf disc bioassay against the second instar S. obliqua showed its high virulence. The identity of SpobNPV was further confirmed by the amplification of polyhedrin gene (NCBI GenBank accession no. MK288145). Eleven species of lepidopteran insects, viz., Spodoptera litura, S. exigua, S. frugiperda, Helicoverpa armigera, Plutella xylostella, Amsacta albistriga, Maruca vitrata, Trichoplusia ni, Pieris brassicae, Agrotis ipsilon, and Bombyx mori, were not susceptible to the infection with SpobNPV NBAIR1. Field experiments on jute crop revealed 68.92, 78.59, and 93.16% reduction in larval population of S.

  • Genetic Relatedness of Six South Indian Agriculturally Important Moth Species (Lepidoptera: Noctuoidea) Based on 28S Rrna-D2 Region Sequence Analysis
    Indian Journal of Biotechnology Vol 12, July 2013, pp 364-371 Genetic relatedness of six South Indian agriculturally important moth species (Lepidoptera: Noctuoidea) based on 28S rRNA-D2 region sequence analysis V Veeramani, S Sakthivelkumar and S Janarthanan* Department of Zoology, University of Madras, Chennai 600 025, India Received 27 January 2012; revised 19 September 2012; accepted 14 October 2012 Molecular phylogenetic evidence from 28S rRNA-D2 expansion segment was used to facilitate differentiation of six different pest species of moths from the superfamily Noctuoidea. The expansion segment of the large ribosomal subunit of 28S rRNA-D2 region was amplified, sequenced and used to construct a phylogenetic tree on the basis of N-J phylogeny method. The topology on the basis of this phylogenetic tree supported a large monophyly for Helicoverpa armigera Hub. and Spodoptera litura Fab. in one cluster, Euproctis fraterna More, Amsacta albistriga Walker and Pericallia ricini Fab. in another cluster, and Earias vitella Fab. in third cluster. The rRNA sequences were also analyzed for the genetic variation using the predicted secondary structure models for all the six species. This analysis revealed variation in the structure of D2 expansion segments at its various arms. Though the multiple sequence alignment showed one large cluster with three sub- clusters and 96% homology among these pest species, the predicted secondary structure models did not show any such close relationships. These results reflect the functional diversity occurred due to the changes acquired slowly at the rRNA structure to perform their function during evolution rather than the homology in the nucleotide sequences or rRNA morphometry among different species of insects.

  • Effects of Biopesticide Neem EC on the Mamestra Brassicae L
    Agronomy Research 8 (Special Issue II), 465–470, 2010 Effects of biopesticide Neem EC on the Mamestra brassicae L. (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae) L. Metspalu, K. Jõgar, A. Ploomi, K. Hiiesaar, I. Kivimägi and A. Luik Estonian University of Life Sciences, Institute of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, Kreutzwaldi Str. 64, 51014 Tartu, Estonia; e-mail: [email protected] Abstract. Third instars larvae of the cabbage moth, Mamestra brassicae L. were exposed to Neem EC (M/S RYM Exports, The Indian Neem Tree Company) by a leaf-dip experiment (concentration of azadirachtin – 100 ppm). The after-treatment parameters studied the duration of the larval stage, mortality, and weight of pupae. Neem EC has shown significant prolongation in the development of larvae of M. brassicae: 18.5 days in the test variant, versus 14.8 days in the control. Neem EC also caused lethal failure of larval-larval and larval-pupal ecdysis, which is typical for insecticides possessing morphogenetic activity commonly referred to as IGR-activity. The mortality of larvae, prepupae and pupae in the test variant was significantly higher than in the control. The experiment in laboratory revealed that Neem EC inhibited larval development, greatly increased mortality, had antifeedant/deterrent effects and acted as a growth regulator for M brassicae larvae and pupae. Key words: Neem EC, Mamestra brassicae, larval stage, mortality, pupal mass INTRODUCTION The cabbage moth (Mamestra brassicae L.) is among the key caterpillar pests of cabbage in most European countries. Depending on the climate, M. brassicae develops one to ten generations per year; in Estonia this pest is univoltine or partially bivoltine.

  • Oilseed Pests
    7 Oilseed Pests Masumeh Ziaee Islamic Azad University, Shoushtar Branch, Iran 1. Introduction Oilseeds occupy an important position in agriculture and industrial economy. So, management of pest problems and using possible control techniques could increase the quality and quantity of the products. A large variety of pests damage oilseeds and cause significant losses in the farms or storages. Among which insect pests are a significant factor in the economics of oilseed production. There are also several vertebrate pests such as rats, slugs and birds. An extensive review of oilseed pest has been conducted by numerous national research programs in Australia, Canada, Germany, India, United Kingdom, United State and etc. Pests of oilseeds can be classified according to the different factors such as taxonomic grouping, feeding habitat, distribution. Within each groups, the pest status may vary with country, year and season depending on species, variety, cropping system used. Some of the pests may attack a certain type of oilseed; the others are generalists and can feed on a variety of crops. Pests with different feeding habitat could have either chewing or sucking mouthparts. Pests with chewing mouthparts eat parts of the crops such as flowers, foliage, stems, roots or buds. They may only eat portions of leaves, leave holes in the leaves (flea beetles), cause bud abscission, reducing yield of the pods and leaf area, earlier leaf abscission, delayed flowering (weevils) or bore into stems and roots (borers). Pests with sucking mouthparts such as aphids, bugs, thrips, whiteflies, mites, and jassids usually cause the plant to discolor or twist and curl.
