A 100% mortality for mature larvae of PFM in Japanese persimmons "Fuyu", Diospyros kaki THUNB. in plastic field bins was attained with fumigation standard of 48 g/m3 MB for 2 hours at 15℃ with 49.1-51.9% Ioading in large-scale mortality tests. Key words : Insecta, Stathmopoda masinissa. Conogethes punctiferalis, quarantine treatment, methyl bromide, Japanese persimmons Introduction Japanese persimmons, Diospyros kaki THUNB. are produced mainly in the Central and West- ern regions in Japan which include such prefectures as Gifu, Aichi, Nara, Wakayama, Ehime and Fukuoka. The total weight of commercial crops for persimmons in 1989 was 265,700 tons.

In spite of this, there does not exist a survey of its fauna — except a single contribution, by Lord Walsingham, in Moore's "Lepidoptera of Ceylon", already almost a hundred years old, and a number of small papers and stray descriptions of new species, in various journals. The authors of these papers were Walker, Zeller, Lord Walsingham and a few other classics — until, starting with 1905, a flood of new descriptions 4 ZOOLOGISCHE VERHANDELINGEN I93 (1982) and records from India and Ceylon appeared, all by the hand of Edward Meyrick. He was almost the single specialist of these faunas, until his death in 1938. To this great Lepidopterist we chiefly owe our knowledge of all groups of Microlepidoptera of Sri Lanka. After his death this information stopped abruptly. In the later years great changes have taken place in the tropical countries. We are now facing, alas, the disastrously quick destruction of natural bio- topes, especially by the reckless liquidation of the tropical forests.

  • Methyl Bromide Quarantine Treatment for Persimmon Fruit Moth in Japanese Persimmons
    RES. BULL PL. PR0T. JAPAN N0.37 : 63-68(2001) Short Communication Methyl Bromide Quarantine Treatment for Persimmon Fruit Moth in Japanese Persimmons Takuho MATSUOKA, Kazuo TANIGUCHI, Tadashi HIRAMATSU and Fumikazu DOTE Kobe Plant Protection Station Abstract : Complete mortality of larvae of persimmon fruit moth, Stathmopoda masinissa MEYRJCK was confirmed by methyl bromide fumigation schedule with 48g/m3 for 2 hours at 15℃ with 50% Ioading. The results showed that a total of 31,739 larvae in fresh persimmons obtained from pesticide unsprayed orchards were killed com- pletely in 16 replicated tests conducted in 1992-1999. The methyl bromide standard would provide for sufficient quarantine security for exporting Japanese persimmons. Key words : Insecta, Stathmopoda masinissa , quarantine treatmen,, methyl bromide, Japa- nese persimmons Introduction Fresh Japanese persimmon, Diospyros kahi THUNB. has not been exported from Japan to the United States because of quarantine restrictions against persimmon fruit moth, Stathmopoda masinissa MEYRICK and yellow peach moth, Conogethes punctiferalis (GUENEE) and disinfestation treatments must be developed against two species of the pest to meet both countries' quarantine regulations (YOSHIZAWA, 1990). A methyl bromide fumigation standard (48g/m3 for 2 hours at 15℃ wiith 50% Ioading) without chemical injury of fresh persimmons (KAWAKAMI et al., 1991 ; NAKAMURA et al ., 1995) and with complete mortality of the target pest (TOMOMATSU et al ., 1995) was establlshed in 1992 for controlling of lar- val stage of the persimmon fruit moth which may be present in fruit at harvest. Com- plete mortality was also confirmed with a total of 13,163 Iarvae in the large-scale test con- ducted in 1992-1994 (TOMOMATSU et al ., 1995) .

    Effect of sowing dates, climatic variables on major insect pests and host plant resistance to pod borer Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner) in pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.)”. Jaba Jagdish*, S.Vashisth, Suraj. M and Sharma.HC Email: [email protected] ICRISAT, India IPRRG 2018 To end of hunger and malnutrition and achieve food security and improve nutrition is at the heart of the sustainable development goals. Almost 800 million people still undernourished,and161million under-five year olds are stunted (FAO, 2016). It is estimated that 500 million smallholder farms in the developing world are supporting almost 2 billion people. In Asia and sub-Saharan Africa, these small farms produce about 80% of the food consumed (IFAD, 2011). Recent studies have indicated that a 2 degrees increase in global temperature will affect agricultural productivity, particularly in the tropical regions(Kirtman et al. 2013; Dinesh et al. 2015). The concentration of carbon dioxide has increased from 300 ppm to 405 ppm (Houghton et al. 1995; NOAA 2018). Global Greenhouse Gas Emissions Data Source: Boden et al., 2015.

E-mail: [email protected] 4Corresponding author Abstract We present the results of the first study of the tortricid moths of Lao PDR (Laos), with this report focusing on the tribe Oleuthreutini. We report 27 species from Laos for the first time, including two that are described as new: Diakonoffiana laosensis Phewphanh and Pinkaew, n.sp., and Lobesia acicula Phewphanh and Pinkaew, n.sp. As is typical of many in- ventories, over half of the species (i.e., 15) were documented by a single specimen.

The Metrics Calculation stereoselective formation of (4E) double bond based on Hydroxymethylation of 4-(2 -tetrahyd- pyranyloxy)-1-pentyn prepared from commercially *Correspondence available 4-Pentynol, while the 6Z-double bond was formed by Wittig Author: Prashant Anbhule reaction of 6-(2-Tetrahydropyranyloxy)-hex-2(E)-en-1-al and n- Email: [email protected] decyltriphenylphosphonium bromide. The overall GC purities of the final alcohol, acetate, and aldehyde is 95.23%, 98.16% and 94.03% respectively while isomeric purities are more than 99%. Green metrics calculation gives a new insight towards the multistep pheromone synthesis. Introduction The persimmon (Persimon) is an edible fruit of trees in the genus Diospyros.
