Abstract The African cotton bollworm, Helicoverpa armigera Hubner (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) was detected in Brazil, triggering a major phytosanitary crisis during the 2012/2013 harvest. Despite its recent introduction, larvae were found being parasitized by indigenous dipterans with estimated parasitism rates even higher than 30% at some localities. -

Pest Categorisation of Helicoverpa Zea
SCIENTIFIC OPINION ADOPTED: 10 June 2020 doi: 10.2903/j.efsa.2020.6177 Pest categorisation of Helicoverpa zea EFSA Panel on Plant Health (PLH), Claude Bragard, Katharina Dehnen-Schmutz, Francesco Di Serio, Paolo Gonthier, Marie-Agnes Jacques, Josep Anton Jaques Miret, Annemarie Fejer Justesen, Christer Sven Magnusson, Panagiotis Milonas, Juan A. Navas-Cortes, Stephen Parnell, Roel Potting, Philippe Lucien Reignault, Hans-Hermann Thulke, Wopke Van der Werf, Antonio Vicent Civera, Jonathan Yuen, Lucia Zappala, Ewelina Czwienczek, Franz Streissl and Alan MacLeod Abstract The EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of Helicoverpa zea (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) (American cotton bollworm, corn earworm) for the EU. H. zea is a polyphagous species that feeds on over 100 plant species. The crops most frequently recorded as host plants are maize, sorghum, cotton, beans, peas, chickpeas, tomatoes, aubergines, peppers and, to a lesser extent, clover, okra, cabbages, lettuces, strawberries, tobacco, sunflowers, cucurbits and ornamentals. H. zea preferentially feeds on flowers and fruits of the host. Eggs are laid mostly on maize silks. Larvae feed on the silks and kernels. Pupation takes place in the soil. Hibernation and estivation as pupa are reported. Adults are nocturnal. H. zea is a strong flier, able to fly up to 400 km during migration. Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2072 (Annex IIA) regulates H. zea. Fruits and plants for planting, with and without soil, provide potential pathways for entry into the EU. Climatic conditions and the availability of host plants provide conditions to support establishment in the EU. The introduction of H. zea could have an economic impact in the EU through qualitative and quantitative effects on agricultural production (e.g. -
Fall Armyworm, Spodoptera Frugiperda (JE Smith)
EENY098 Fall Armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) (Insecta: Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)1 John L. Capinera2 Introduction and Distribution The fall armyworm is native to the tropical regions of the western hemisphere from the United States to Argentina. It normally overwinters successfully in the United States only in southern Florida and southern Texas. The fall armyworm is a strong flier, and disperses long distances annually during the summer months. It is recorded from virtually all states east of the Rocky Mountains. However, as a regular and serious pest, its range tends to be mostly the southeastern states. In 2016 it was reported for the first time in West and Central Africa, so it now threatens Africa and Europe. Figure 1. Eggs of the fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith), Description and Life Cycle hatching. The life cycle is completed in about 30 days during the Credits: Jim Castner, UF/IFAS summer, but 60 days in the spring and autumn, and 80 to 90 days during the winter.

Effects of Different Honeycomb and Sucrose Levels on the Development of Greater Wax Moth Galleria Mellonella Larvae
INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURE & BIOLOGY 1560–8530/2006/08–6–855–858 http://www.fspublishers.org Effects of Different Honeycomb and Sucrose Levels on the Development of Greater Wax Moth Galleria mellonella Larvae M. COSKUN1, T. KAYIS, M. SULANC AND P. OZALP Department of Biology, Faculty of Science and Art, University of Cukurova Adana, Turkey 1Corresponding author’s e-mail: [email protected]; Tel: + 90-322-3386060; fax: + 90-322-3386070 ABSTRACT In this study, the effect of different honeycomb and sucrose amounts on the development of Galleria mellonella larvae has been investigated by using synthetic diet. These results showed that the Galleria mellonella larvae could tolerate different diets without any serious problem during their development. In a period of seven days maximum growth is determined on the larvae, which are fed the diet that contains 300 g honeycombs. In addition in ten days of experimental period maximum weight increase is 0.131 g and it is observed in the diet, which contains 50 g honeycombs. This increase in the diet that contains 300 g honeycombs is 0.118 g. At the end of the experimental period, the measures showed that the maximum weight increase appeared in diet of 15% sucrose as 0.0774 g. In the diet, which does not contain honey there was a weight loss as 0.0158 g.
