Applied Chemical Ecology to Enhance Insect Parasitoid Efficacy in the Biological Control of Crop Pests
CHAPTER 10 Applied Chemical Ecology to Enhance Insect Parasitoid Efficacy in the Biological Control of Crop Pests Ezio Peri1*, Rihem Moujahed1, Eric Wajnberg2 and Stefano Colazza1 1 Dipartimento di Scienze Agrarie, Alimentari e Forestali, Università degli Studi di Palermo, Viale delle Scienze, 90128 Palermo, Italy E-mail: [email protected] (EP) E-mail: [email protected] (RM) E-mail: [email protected] (SC) 2 INRIA, Projet Hephaistos, 2004 Route des Lucioles, BP 93, 06902 Sophia Antipolis Cedex, France E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The field application of semiochemicals, used by parasitoids to find mates and to locate their hosts, is a promising environmentally sustainable and highly specific pest control strategy and an attractive alternative to the use of pesticides. In this chapter, we first examine research progress dealing with the effect of semiochemical cues on parasitoid foraging strategy. In the second part, we review the possible field applications of these chemical cues to enhance pest control strategies, either through direct pest control or by manipulating parasitoid behaviour. We then consider novel approaches, such as the “attract and reward” strategy, combining semiochemical application and habitat management to improve the success of pest management. Even if semiochemical-based tactics are promising in pest control, they still are developing and may face several constraints leading to different challenges. Therefore, in the last part of this chapter, we draw attention to the potential *Corresponding author Applied Chemical Ecology to Enhance Insect Parasitoid Efficacy… 235 limitations and risks of semiochemical applications in the field. Then, we propose potential solutions to overcome these different constraints. -

Interesting Early Stages of Some Sri Lankan Moths Typical Moth Life Cycle
Interesting early stages of some Sri Lankan Moths Typical Moth Life Cycle A Cocoon is a casing of spun silk produced by many insects to form a protective covering for the Pupa. Many Moth Caterpillars for example produce silk cocoons. Cocoons can be of various types, from hard to soft, with various colours dependent on the species involved. Wingless Females Some female moths of the Subfamily Lymantriinae are flightless. Male Female Orgyia sp. Lymantria sp. Life Cycle of Lymantria ampla Life cycle of Fir tussock moth (Orgyia detrita) Ant-mimic Moth caterpillars • Caterpillars in the moth genus, Homodes Guenée have been documented to be closely associated with weaver ants, as well as resembling them in terms of morphology and behaviour (Shelford, 1902, 1916; Kalshoven, 1961; Common, 1990; Holloway, 2005). In Sri Lanka, at least three species have been previously recorded • Homodes fulva • Homodes crocea Homodes crocea • Homodes vivida Dorsal (a) and posterior (b) views of the raised rear end of the caterpillar, Lobster Moth (Stauropus alternus) • First instar larva is a very good ant mimic both in appearance and behaviour • Resting posture of its mid instar look like an irregularly curved, dead leaf. • This resemblance to dried or dead leaf debris is certainly applicable to the later instars as well. Bagworms (Psychidae) • The bagworm family (Lepidoptera: Psychidae) includes approximately 1000 species, all of which complete larval development within a self enclosing bag. • In Sri Lanka 23 species have been recorded in this family • Some bagworms are specialized in their host plants (monophagous) , while others can feed on a variety of plant species (polyphagous) Eumeta variegata • A bagworm begins to build its case as soon as it hatches. -

Sequence analysis and divergence among the species was assessed. Genbank accession numbers were obtained for the different species. Phylogenetic tree based on neighbour- joining method was drawn on the basis of multiple sequence alignment, which revealed clustering of individuals according to the genera. Among the species, Odontotermes longignathus was more prevalent than others. The utility of COI gene to study the systematics of termites, their evolution and relatedness that would have implication on their management is discussed. Keywords: Subterranean termites; CO1 gene; Genbank; Phylogenetic [2,17,16,19-23,35]. The mitochondrial DNA is more abundant as the tree; Odontotermes longignathus mitochondrial genes evolve more rapidly, than the nuclear genome Wang et al. [7], therefore at species level mitochondrial DNA is more Introduction suitable Masters et al.
