Sun pest, Eurygaster integriceps Puton (Heteroptera: Scutelleridae), is the major pest of wheat and barley in all regions except the Northern and Southern shores of Iran. This pest causes high damage to all vegetative hosts (stems, spikes and leaves) by feeding sap in nymph and adult stages (mother and new generation). Information on its biology and population density was evaluated in order to gain a better understanding of the best way to its control. In this study, we studied the effects of Sardari (dry land) and Gaskogen (aqua culture) wheat cultivars and Sahand barely cultivar (dry land) on population density of nymphs and adults of this pest. Present study was done by sweeping with hand-net and counting square meter quadrate methods in Korayim region of Ardabil, Iran. Results showed that population density of nymphs and adults of E. integriceps on aqua culture cultivar of wheat (Gaskogen) were more than other wheat and barley cultivars.

Najafi-Mirak Seed and Plant Improvement Institute, Karaj, Iran. E-mail address: [email protected] Received: October 2011 ABSTRACT Najafi-Mirak, T. 2012. Evaluation of resistance to Sunn pest (Eurygaster integriceps Put.) in wheat and triticale genotypes. Crop Breeding Journal 2(1):43-48. Sunn pest (Eurygaster integriceps Put.) is one of the major pests of wheat in Iran. Identification of resistant cultivars is an effective integrated pest management (IPM) strategy. To identify the genetic response of wheat and triticale to Sunn pest, and determine the relationship between resistance and morpho-physiological traits, eight bread wheat breeding lines/cultivars, four durum wheat lines, three triticale lines and five synthetic wheat lines were evaluated for resistance to Sunn pest. The response of these genotypes to Sunn pest was evaluated in the field under artificial infestation in cages using a randomized complete block design with three replications. At heading, eight adult insects were released into each cage (30×40×120 cm) and 30 nymphs were released at the grain-filling stage. Spike damage (%) and grain damage (%) were recorded. An analysis of variance revealed significant differences among the genotypes for spike injuries caused by adult insects. Cultivar Falat (1.8% spike damage) showed the least damage and is considered the most resistant genotype. Durum line D-81-15 and Triticale-1, each with 2% spike damage, were more resistant than the other genotypes. Based on grain damage caused by nymphs of Sunn pest, Shiraz, with 13% damage, was the most susceptible genotype.

Using of resistant cultivars is an effective strategy for Integrated Pest Management (IPM). In order to identify the resistant wheat to sunn pest, 79 Iranian bread and durum wheat cultivars\lines were evaluated for resistance to natural infestations of sunn pest in field conditions using CRD with four replications in Karaj in two cropping seasons. Analysis of variance revealed significant differences among the genotypes for overwintered density of the adult insect and spike damage. Based on density of overwintered adult insect, cultivar Darab 2 with an average of 12.6 insects per m 2 had the highest density and was the most susceptible cultivar to pest damage and the cultivars Marvdasht, M-82-6 and Bezostaya with densities of one insect/m 2 were the most resistant wheat genotypes. The density of overwintered adult insects in oat (resistant check) was zero. Based on the results for spike damage, line S-83-13 with 80 damaged spikes per m 2 and the two cultivars MV17 and Gaspard both with 10 damaged plants per m 2 were identified as the most susceptible and the most resistant wheat genotypes, respectively.

Directorate of Plant Protection, Ministry of Agriculture, Baghdad 00964, Iraq 3. College of Agriculture, Baghdad University, Baghdad 00964, Iraq Abstract: The sunn pest Eurygaster integriceps is the most important insect of cereals in Iraq and other countries. In this study, the field efficacy of 10 different kinds of insecticides with various mode of action was evaluated against sunn pest E. integriceps infested wheat on field at middle of Iraq. Experiments were conducted in 11 wheat fields with each field 0.5 ha, located in the middle of Iraq (Wasit and Salahudain governorates) during season 2015-2016. The wheat fields contained common varieties of wheat planted in Iraq. The population density of the pest was at its highest level (start of April 2015) of mostly nymphs, adults and eggs. The results indicated that the recommended dose for each insecticide used showed high efficacy (80.1%-93.8%) in reducing number of E. integriceps adults after one week of treatment, reaching 0.2-0.8 insects/m2 compared to 3.6 insects/m2 in the control treatment. These results will assist the control program of this pest and in implementing pest management practices to reduce resistance development chances.

    © Biologiezentrum Linz/Austria; download unter www.biologiezentrum.at Linzer biol. Beitr. 42/2 1421-1435 19.12.2010 Sunn pest (Eurygaster integriceps PUTON, Hemiptera: Scutelleridae) and its scelionid (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae) and tachinid (Diptera: Tachinidae) parasitoids in Iran N. SAMIN, M. SHOJAI, S. ASGARI, H. GHAHARI & E. KOCAK Abstract: Sunn pest, Eurygaster integriceps PUTON (Heteroptera: Scutelleridae) is the main pest in wheat fields of Iran. The list of Scelionidae (Hymenoptera) and Tachinidae (Diptera) as the parasitoids of sunn pest are summarized in this paper. Totally 19 scelionid and 7 tachinid species are listed as the parasitoids of sunn pest in Iran. Key words: Eurygaster integriceps, Scutelleridae, Parasitoid, Scelionidae, Tachinidae, Iran. Introduction The areas cultivated with wheat and barley in Iran are 6.5 million ha and 2.5 million ha, respectively. Production for irrigated wheat is around 2,900 kg per hectare, while rain- fed wheat production averages 800 kg per hectare. Irrigated and rain-fed barley yield approximately the same as irrigated and rain-fed wheat. The major hemipteran pests are Eurygaster integriceps PUTON, Aelia furcula FIEBER and Dolycoris penicillatus HORVATH. At present, E. integriceps, the most destructive species is found wherever wheat is grown. The main infestation areas are in the provinces of Tehran, Markazi, Isfahan, Fars, Chaharmahal & Bakhtiari, Kordestan, Lorestan, Zanjan, Ilam and Khora- san. Sunn pest is absent from narrow strips along the Oman Sea, the Arabian Gulf and the Caspian Sea. E. integriceps currently infests about 1 million ha of wheat and barley. The average yield losses are estimated at 20 to 30 percent if the insects are not control- led.
