  • Biology of Achaea Janata Linneaus on Castor and Rose N.K.S

Singh and U.S. Dwivedi Department of Entomology, College of Agriculture, JNKW Campus, Gwalior - 474 002, India ABSTRACT Biology ofAchaeajanata Linneaus was studied on the two principal hosts viz., castor and rose to find suitable host for development of this insect under laboratory conditions. Castor was found more suitable host than rose on the basis of more number of eggs, shorter larval and pupal period with lower larval and pupal mortality and higher per cent adult emergence. The castor semilooper, Achaeajanata with filter paper. The adults emerging on the (Lepidoptera: Noctuidati} is a serious pest of same day (Male, female) were paired and castor in many castor growing states of India. released for egg laying in oviposition cages (45 Besides castor, it feeds on different host plants x 45 x 45 cm). Honey sulution (5%) was like pomegranate, rose, dudhi etc. Food plants provided as foot to adults. Observations on play a vital role in the development, survival various developmental stages Le. eggs to adults and reproductive potential of insects (Painter, were recorded on both the hosts.

  • Green Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles Using Euphorbia Hirta
    Euphorbia hirta silver nanopaticles JBiopest 5(1): 1-6 JBiopest 7(Supp.): 54-66(2014) Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles using Euphorbia hirta (Euphorbiaceae) leaf extract against crop pest of cotton bollworm, Helicoverpa armigera (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) G. Durga Devi* K. Murugan and C. Panneer Selvam ABSTRACT Biosynthesis of insecticides from plant extracts is currently under exploitation. Plant extracts are very cost effective and eco-friendly and thus can be an economic and efficient alternative for the large-scale synthesis of synthetic and other chemical insecticides. So the present study was carried out to establish the larvicidal effect of synthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using leaf extract of Euphorbia hirta (Euphorbiaceae) against the first to fourth instar larvae and pupae of the crop pest of cotton boll worm , Helicoverpa armigera. The production of the AgNPs synthesized using leaf extract of Euphorbia hirta was evaluated through a UV–Vis spectrophotometer in a wavelength range of 200 to 700 nm. An SEM micrograph showed 30- 60-nm-size aggregates of spherical- and cubic-shaped nanoparticles. EDX showed the complete chemical composition of the synthesized nanoparticles of silver. The results showed that the considerable larval mortality was found in the synthesized AgNPs against the I instar to IV instar larvae and pupae of Helicoverpa armigera. The leaf extract exhibited larval toxicity against the I instar to IV instar larvae and pupae of Helicoverpa armigera. The chi-square value was significant at p<0.05 level. Nanoparticle treatment showed toxicity against larval instars of Helicoverpa armigera and had impact on the biological parameters of Helicoverpa armigera.

    Lecture No 9 PESTS OF GINGELLY, CASTOR, MUSTARD AND LINSEED Pests of Gingelly Though a dozen pests attack gingelly, only leaf webber, gall fly and leaf hopper as vector are important and cause economic damage in gingelly. Major pests 1. Leaf webber Antigastra catalaunalis Pyralidae Lepidoptera 2. Sphinx moth Acherontia styx Sphingidae Lepidoptera 3. Gall fly Asphondylia sesami Cecidomyiidae Diptera 4. Leaf hopper Orosius albicinctus Cicadallidae Hemiptera 5. Pod bug Elasmolomus sordidus Lygaeidae Hemiptera Minor pests 6. Aphid Aphis gossypii Aphididae Hemiptera I. Leaf feeders 1. Leaf webber: Antigastra catalaunalis (Pyralidae: Lepidoptera) Distribution and status: India, Africa, South Europe, Malta, Burma, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Sri Lanka and U.S.S.R. Host range: Sesame, Antirrhinum and Duranta. Damage symptoms Larva webs the top leaves together and bore the tender shoots in the vegetative phase. Flowers and young capsules are bored at reproductive stage. Bionomics Moth is brown with yellowish brown wings. It lays eggs on tender parts of plants. The egg period is 4-5 days. Fully grown pale green larva with black head and dots all over the body measures 20 mm in length. The larval period is 11-16 days. It pupates in leaf folds in a white silken cocoon for 4-7 days.

(Noctuidae:Lepidoptera) and crotton catterpiller Achaea janata (Noctuidae:Lepidoptera) *S. Senthilmurugan Department of Zoology, Annamalai University, Annamalainagar, Tamilnadu, India ABSTRACT: To estimate the feeding deterrent, larvicidal and ovicidal activity of ethyl acetate, chloroform, methanol and hexane extracts of important medicinal plants of Citrus limetta and Syzygium cumini at various concentrations against most devasting agricultural field pest of Helicoverpa armigera and Achaea janata. The feeding deterrent activity were used as various solvent of methanol, ethyl acetate, chloroform, and hexane, the valuable medicinal plants C .limetta and S. Cumini, used in the experimental site. The highest antifeedant activity of methanol crude extract of C .limetta against H .armigera and A .janata 99.8%, 96.2%, and S. cumini against H .armigera and A .janata 94.2% and 90.8%. Highest ovicidal activity of C .limetta and S. cumini methanol extract was 98.6 and 95.2% against H .armigera at 375ppm. To study report that the important medicinal plant C .limetta and S. Cumini it is a potential source of natural antifeedant, larvicidal and ovicidal properties against the lepidopteran pest of Helicoverpa armigera and Achaea janata.

  • Impact of Integrated Pest Management Modules on the Activity of Natural Enemies in Castor Ecosystem
    J. Biol. Control, 23(3): 221–228, 2009 Impact of integrated pest management modules on the activity of natural enemies in castor ecosystem H. BASAPPA Directorate of Oilseeds Research, Rajendranagar, Hyderabad 500030, Andhra Pradesh, India. E–mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: Investigations were carried out during 2001–2004 to study the impact of biointensive integrated pest management (BIPM), chemical pesticide intensive integrated pest management (CIPM) modules and non–integrated pest management (non–IPM) modules (farmers’ practice) on the natural enemies of insect pests of castor in Andhra Pradesh. BIPM module proved to be relatively safer to natural enemies with 16.13 and 66.10 % average field parasitization of Achaea janata (L.) eggs and larvae by Trichogramma chilonis Ishii and Microplitis maculipennis Szepligeti, compared to 6.92 and 21.2, 8.80 and 24.00, 8.92 and 22.35 % in CIPM module and non–IPM modules 1 and 2, respectively. M. maculipennis cocoon number per plant increased with increase in duration after treatment in the BIPM module whereas it decreased in CIPM and non–IPM modules. Similarly, average parasitisation by Charops obtusus Morley (3.54%), Rhogas spp. (4.60%), Apanteles hyposidrae Wilkinson (13.85%), Euplectrus maternus Bhatnagar (7.92%) on A. janata larvae and Cotesia flavipes Cameron (8.96%) on Spodoptera litura (F.) was higher in the BIPM module compared to CIPM module (1.65, 1.59, 3.50, 2.37 and 2.49%) and non–IPM modules 1(1.16, 0.80, 2.70, 1.20 and 2.68%) and 2 (1.50, 1.19, 2.80, 3.82 and 1.99%), respectively.

    International Research Journal of Insect Sciences 2014 Vol.1, No.1, pp.1-11 ISSN(e): 2408-9281 ISSN(p): 2412-3439 © 2014 Conscientia Beam. All Rights Reserved. OLFACTORY RESPONSE OF AN ASSASSIN BUG, RHYNOCORIS LONGIFRONS (INSECTA: HEMIPTERA: REDUVIIDAE) TO THE HEXANE EXTRACTS OF DIFFERENT AGRICULTURAL INSECT PESTS A. Ganesh Kumar1 --- Dunston P. Ambrose2 1,2Entomology Research Unit, St. Xavier’s College (Autonomous), Palayamkottai, Tamil Nadu, India ABSTRACT The predator-prey interaction of five prey species with the assassin bug, Rhynocoris longifrons (Stål) (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) was assessed in a Y-shaped olfactometer and the prey preference was assessed in six-arm olfactometer provided with the bodyextracts in hexane. Although R. longifrons responded to all the hexane extracts of testedinsect pests, R. longifrons showed maximum response to the lepidopterans Spodoptera litura (F.) (6.67±1.18 min), Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) (5.17±0.89 min) and Achaea janata (L.) (4.42±1.04 min) followed by the coleopteran Mylabris indica (Thunberg) (3.00±0.82 min) and the least response to the hemipteran Dysdercus cingulatus (F.) (2.42±0.76 min).Thus, the present study clearly reveals the order of the host preference of R. longifrons to the tested hexane extracts of the taxonomically diverse insect pests. Keywords: Assassin bug, Rhynocoris longifrons, Kairomonal ecology, Olfactometer, Spodoptera litura, Helicoverpa armigera, Achaea janata, Mylabris indica, Dysdercus cingulatus. Contribution/ Originality This paper contributes the first hand information on the allelochemical interaction of Rhynocoris longifrons with its prey species Spodoptera litura, Helicoverpa armigera, Achea janata, Dysdercus cingulatus and Mylabris indica and reveals its prey preference.
