  • Fung Yuen SSSI & Butterfly Reserve Moth Survey 2009
    Fung Yuen SSSI & Butterfly Reserve Moth Survey 2009 Fauna Conservation Department Kadoorie Farm & Botanic Garden 29 June 2010 Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Garden Publication Series: No 6 Fung Yuen SSSI & Butterfly Reserve moth survey 2009 Fung Yuen SSSI & Butterfly Reserve Moth Survey 2009 Executive Summary The objective of this survey was to generate a moth species list for the Butterfly Reserve and Site of Special Scientific Interest [SSSI] at Fung Yuen, Tai Po, Hong Kong. The survey came about following a request from Tai Po Environmental Association. Recording, using ultraviolet light sources and live traps in four sub-sites, took place on the evenings of 24 April and 16 October 2009. In total, 825 moths representing 352 species were recorded. Of the species recorded, 3 meet IUCN Red List criteria for threatened species in one of the three main categories “Critically Endangered” (one species), “Endangered” (one species) and “Vulnerable” (one species” and a further 13 species meet “Near Threatened” criteria. Twelve of the species recorded are currently only known from Hong Kong, all are within one of the four IUCN threatened or near threatened categories listed. Seven species are recorded from Hong Kong for the first time. The moth assemblages recorded are typical of human disturbed forest, feng shui woods and orchards, with a relatively low Geometridae component, and includes a small number of species normally associated with agriculture and open habitats that were found in the SSSI site. Comparisons showed that each sub-site had a substantially different assemblage of species, thus the site as a whole should retain the mosaic of micro-habitats in order to maintain the high moth species richness observed.

Prof. Moraes Rego, s/n, Cidade Universitária, 50670-901, Recife, Pernambuco, Brasil. E-mail:[email protected] ABSTRACT: The caatinga, a thorn-shrub succulent savannah, is located in Northeastern Brazil and characterized by a short and irregular rainy season and a severe dry season. Insects are only abundant during the rainy months, displaying a strong seasonal pat- tern. Here we present data from a yearlong Sphingidae survey undertaken in the reserve Estação Ecológica do Seridó, located in the state of Rio Grande do Norte. Hawkmoths were collected once a month during two subsequent new moon nights, between 18.00h and 05.00h, attracted with a 160-watt mercury vapor light. A total of 593 specimens belonging to 20 species and 14 genera were col- lected. Neogene dynaeus, Callionima grisescens, and Hyles euphorbiarum were the most abundant species, together comprising up to 82.2% of the total number of specimens collected. These frequent species are residents of the caatinga of Rio Grande do Norte. The rare Sphingidae in this study, Pseudosphinx tetrio, Isognathus australis, and Cocytius antaeus, are migratory species for the caatinga.

  • Root Maggots (Onion - Delia Antiqua; Cabbage - Delia Radicum)
    Root Maggots (Onion - Delia antiqua; Cabbage - Delia radicum) Figure 2 Root maggot larvae, 1/4" long Figure 1 Adult, 1/4" long Figure 3 Damage to onion Damage The maggots feed on the roots and the bulbs (in the case of onions), creating numerous tunnels. Plants first begin to wilt and can eventually become stunted and yellowed. Heavily infested plants can ultimately die. When Are They Active Root maggots overwinter in the top few inches of garden soil. In late April - early May adult flies emerge to lay 50-200 white eggs on the soil near the base of crops. Eggs hatch in 3-7 days and larvae immediately begin feeding on the roots of the plants. Feeding continues for 3-4 weeks before larvae pupate in the soil. Susceptible Plants Onion maggots are an early season pest of root vegetables such as onion, garlic, carrot, and radish, whereas cabbage maggots are mainly a pest of cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, radishes, and turnips. Prevention Methods Most root maggot adults are attracted to rotting organic matter; avoid incorporating animal manure or green manure in spring. When possible, delay planting susceptible plants until the threat of root maggots is reduced, which is generally after June 1st. Plant crops in well-drained soils and only when the soil temperatures exceed 50° F. Row covers are effective during flight periods and must be set up in your garden by the time adults flies are laying eggs which is usually early to mid-May. Don't use row covers if onions or other root vegetables or cucurbits were planted in the same area the previous year.

  • Companion Planting and Insect Pest Control
    Chapter 1 Companion Planting and Insect Pest Control Joyce E. Parker, William E. Snyder, George C. Hamilton and Cesar Rodriguez‐Saona Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/55044 1. Introduction There is growing public concern about pesticides’ non-target effects on humans and other organisms, and many pests have evolved resistance to some of the most commonly-used pesticides. Together, these factors have led to increasing interest in non-chemical, ecologically- sound ways to manage pests [1]. One pest-management alternative is the diversification of agricultural fields by establishing “polycultures” that include one or more different crop varieties or species within the same field, to more-closely match the higher species richness typical of natural systems [2, 3]. After all, destructive, explosive herbivore outbreaks typical of agricultural monocultures are rarely seen in highly-diverse unmanaged communities. There are several reasons that diverse plantings might experience fewer pest problems. First, it can be more difficult for specialized herbivores to “find” their host plant against a back‐ ground of one or more non-host species [4]. Second, diverse plantings may provide a broader base of resources for natural enemies to exploit, both in terms of non-pest prey species and resources such as pollen and nectar provided by the plant themselves, building natural enemy communities and strengthening their impacts on pests [4]. Both host-hiding and encourage‐ ment of natural enemies have the potential to depress pest populations, reducing the need for pesticide applications and increasing crop yields [5, 6]. On the other hand, crop diversification can present management and economic challenges for farmers, making these schemes difficult to implement.

  • Diabrotica Speciosa Primary Pest of Soybean Arthropods Cucurbit Beetle Beetle
    Diabrotica speciosa Primary Pest of Soybean Arthropods Cucurbit beetle Beetle Diabrotica speciosa Scientific name Diabrotica speciosa Germar Synonyms: Diabrotica amabilis, Diabrotica hexaspilota, Diabrotica simoni, Diabrotica simulans, Diabrotica vigens, and Galeruca speciosa Common names Cucurbit beetle, chrysanthemum beetle, San Antonio beetle, and South American corn rootworm Type of pest Beetle Taxonomic position Class: Insecta, Order: Coleoptera, Family: Chrysomelidae Reason for Inclusion in Manual CAPS Target: AHP Prioritized Pest List - 2010 Pest Description Diabrotica speciosa was first described by Germar in 1824, as Galeruca speciosa. Two subspecies have been described, D. speciosa vigens (Bolivia, Peru and Ecuador), and D. speciosa amabilis (Bolivia, Colombia, Venezuela and Panama). These two subspecies differ mainly in the coloring of the head and elytra (Araujo Marques, 1941; Bechyne and Bechyne, 1962). Eggs: Eggs are ovoid, about 0.74 x 0.36 mm, clear white to pale yellow. They exhibit fine reticulation that under the microscope appears like a pattern of polygonal ridges that enclose a variable number of pits (12 to 30) (Krysan, 1986). Eggs are laid in the soil near the base of a host plant in clusters, lightly agglutinated by a colorless secretion. The mandibles and anal plate of the developing larvae can be seen in mature eggs. Larvae: Defago (1991) published a detailed description of the third instar of D. speciosa. First instars are about 1.2 mm long, and mature third instars are about 8.5 mm long. They are subcylindrical; chalky white; head capsule dirty yellow to light brown, epicraneal and frontal sutures lighter, with long light-brown setae; mandibles reddish dark brown; antennae and palpi pale yellow.

Nässig, Entomologie II, Forschungsinstitut und Naturmuseum Senckenberg, Senckenberganlage 25, D-60325 Frankfurt/Main, Germany Abstract: Cricula andamanica Jordan, 1909, a wild silk moth endemic to the Andaman islands, has so far been known from a few adult specimens. For the first time we detail the life history and describe and illustrate in colour the preimaginal stages of this moth. The following species of plants were used as host plants by the larvae: Pometia pinnata (Sapindaceae), Anacardium occi­ dental (Anacardiaceae), and Myristica sp. (Myristicaceae). The mature lar­ vae are similar to those of the related C. trifenestrata (Helfer, 1837), aposem- atic in black and reddish, but exhibiting a larger extent of red colour pattern and less densely covered with secondary white hairs. A species of the genus Xanthopimpla (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae) and an unidentified tachinid (Diptera) were found to parasitize the pupae. Cricula andamanica Jordan 1909 (Lepidoptera, Saturnüdae) — eine endemische Saturniidenart von den Andamanen (Indien) Zusammenfassung: Cricula andamanica J ordan 1909, eine endemische Sa- turniide von den Andamanen, war bisher nur von wenigen Museumsbeleg­ tieren bekannt.

Received 15 October, 2017; Accepted 7 November, 2017 The phytochemical screening of Citharexylum spinosum L. aerial parts resulted in the presence of flavonoids, tannins, carbohydrates and/or glycosides, triterpenes and/or sterols and saponins. The percentage of hydrocarbons and sterols in C. spinosum petroleum ether extract were 99.57 and 0.3%, respectively. In petroleum ether extract, saturated fatty acids (78.76%) and unsaturated fatty acids (9.14%) were found. Chromatographic fractionation of 80% aqueous, methanol and chloroform extracts of C. spinosum resulted in isolation of 10 compounds; β-Sitosterol, β-Sitosterol 3-O-β-D- glucopyranoside, Oleanolic acid, Gallic acid, Quercetin, 6-Methoxy acacetin 7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside, Naringenin, Quercetin 3-O-α-L-rhamnopyranoside (Quercetrin), 1, 2, 6-tri-O-galloyl-β-D-glucopyranoside and Rutin. The antipyretic activity of aqueous methanolic residue using Brewer's yeast-induced pyrexia in rats was significant at dose 300 mg/kg. All tested samples had no analgesic activity. The major isolated compounds were quercetin and quercetrin, their biological activities, antimicrobial and cytotoxic activities, were determined parallel to the extracts.

An attempt was made to find out the BAU, Sabour, Bhagalpur, Bihar, effective management practice through application of agrochemicals to minimize vector activites &the India crop loss. Three bio rational molecules viz., Imidacloprid 17.8 SL @ 1.0 ml/3liter water, Acetamiprid 20% SP @1.0 gm/ liter water and KEM (Immunity Builder) @2.0 ml/ liter were sprayed at 15 day R. K. Verma interval and were evaluated against vector activity to reduce the leaf curl disease incidence. The Subject Matter Specialist, Krishi minimum disease incidence was recorded to the extent of (27.25%) coupled with highest fruit yield of Vigyan Kendra, Madhepura, 63.13 q/ha in the treatment T2 having two spraying of Acetamiprid 20% SP @1.0 gm/ liter water at an BAU, Sabour, Bhagalpur, Bihar, interval of fifteen days during Kharif 2019 cropping season. Maximum disease incidence (32.25%) in India control with lowest yield (54.23/ha). Infection by chili leaf curl disease complex adversely affected yield attributing characters during Kharif season. Highest cost-benefit ratio of 1:11.49 was obtained by two Dr. Bipul Mandal spraying of Acetamiprid 20% SP @1.0 gm/ liter water during Kharif crop season.
