  • Nematodes and Fungi) Against Curculio Nucum (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)

Sometimes it destroys 80-90 percent of the crop. The study presents the results of using entomopathogenic microorganisms (nematodes and fungi) against NW. Local entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN) Steinernema borjomiense, S. thesami, Heterorhabditis sp. and Boverin's fungi were used against this pest. The tests were carried out in laboratory and field conditions. Nematodes of this species were first used against NW. The tests were carried out separately and together with different doses of nematode concentracions (100, 50 and 25 IJs/insect) and Boverin – (2 g/L and 4 g/L). Among the nematodes used separately against insect pests, S. borjomiense and Heterorhabditis sp. (in a dose of 100 IJs/insect) showed the greatest effect (100%). As for the separate application of Boverin, it turned out to be less effective (42.5% of adults and 43.2% of larvae died). On insect pests, a much greater effect was observed when using combined preparations of nematodes and fungi in laboratory and field trials. In the laboratory, after the use of combined preparations, 100% death of harmful insects is recorded.

  • Biology and Control of Araecerus Levipennis Jordan ( Coleoptera: Anthribidae )X
    138 Proceedings, Hawaiian Entomological Society Biology and Control of Araecerus levipennis Jordan ( Coleoptera: Anthribidae )x Martin Sherman and Minoru Tamashiro2 UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION HONOLULU, HAWAII (Presented at the meeting of December 12, 1953) Koa haole, Leucaenaglauca (L.) Bentham, is a leguminous plant introduced into Hawaii prior to 1888 (Takahashi and Ripperton, 1949). Because of its high protein content, it is a valuable forage crop and many ranches have spread its seed over rangeland. In addition to this important use, it is of some value as a raw material in the manufacture of Hawaiian seed jewelry. During 1954 a small beetle, previously unknown in Hawaii, was found to be damaging a large percentage of the seed of koa haole (Ford and Chilson, 1955; Sherman, 1955). Specimens were sent to the U.S. National Museum and were identified as Araecerus sp., evidently simulatus Gyllenhal. However, additional specimens sent to Dr. H. E. Karl Jordan were identified by him as Araecerus levipennis Jordan. This species was described from the Philippines and Cochin China (Jordan, 1924). In a letter to Dr. D. Elmo Hardy of the University of Hawaii3 Dr. Jordan wrote, "It is a near relative of Araecerus simulatus Gyllenh. 1833 (Java), which is a species of very wide distribution in the Oriental Region and varying much in size and pattern. .. Araecerus levipennis differs from the four other species of Araecerus known from the Hawaiian Islands in the following combination of distinctions: club of antennae almost sym metrical; upper side pale tawny (ochraceous) with diffuse grey spots, im pressed stripes, and their punctures distinct only at sides and bases, absent dorsally from before middle to apex of elytra, which gives the elytra a smooth appearance; legs pale testaceous, tibia without dark markings; anterior tibia of o71 hairy on underside, without teeth; sutural area sometimes dark (as happens also in A.

FIELD AND FORAGE CROPS Imported Longhorned Weevil (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) Injury to Soybean: Physiological Response and Injury Guild-Level Economic Injury Levels 1 2 3 THOMAS E. HUNT, LEON G.

Entomol. 96(4): 1168Ð1173 (2003) ABSTRACT The imported longhorned weevil, Calomycterus setarius Roelofs, is an occasional pest of soybean, Glycine max (L.), and can cause substantial defoliation of seedling soybean when the weevil is present in large numbers. Because weevil populations can reach high levels, the potential exists for signiÞcant seedling injury, so economic injury levels (EILs) are needed for imported longhorned weevil on seedling soybean.

Machado* RESUMEN A. Machado. 2010. La morfología de Laparocerus undatus Wollaston, 1864 y consideracio- nes sobre la tribu Laparocerini Lacordaire, 1863 (Coleoptera, Curculionidae, Entiminae). Graellsia, 66(2): 233-280. Se presenta un estudio morfológico de Laparocerus undatus Wollaston, 1864 que com- prende la anatomía externa e interna del adulto, incluido el canal alimentario, sistema ner- vioso central y sistema reproductor. También se describen las anatomías de la larva y de la pupa, hasta ahora desconocidas en el género. Los Laparocerus son curculiónidos entimi- nos que muestran algunos caracteres primitivos infrecuentes en el grupo. Se plantea si se justifica o no mantener la tribu Laparocerini, pendiente de revisión desde que fuera esta- blecida por Lacordaire en 1863. Se discuten las semejanzas halladas en los caracteres ima- ginales y preimaginales con otros géneros y tribus, y se buscan las relaciones genéticas más cercanas empleando secuencias parciales del gen 16SrRNA de una veintena de espe- cies, obtenidas de GenBank. Laparocerus presenta importantes caracteres singulares o combinación de ellos, y se separa claramente de los demás Entiminae estudiados, ocupan- do una posición posiblemente basal dentro del grupo.

  • Determination of the Species of Curculionoidea Superfamily on Alfalfa Fields (Medicago Sativa L.) and Their Distribution in Bursa Province of Turkey
    J. BIOL. ENVIRON. SCI., 2010, 4(12), 123-131 Determination of the Species of Curculionoidea Superfamily on Alfalfa Fields (Medicago sativa L.) and Their Distribution in Bursa Province of Turkey Kıymet Senan COŞKUNCU¹*, Nimet Sema GENCER² ¹Bursa Province Directorate of Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, 16170 Hurriyet, Bursa-TÜRKİYE ²Uludag University, Faculty of Agriculture, Plant Protection Department, 16059 Bursa-TÜRKİYE ABSTRACT This study was carried out to determine superfamily species of Curculionoidea which is living in the alfalfa areas of Bursa province of Turkey during 2004-2005. Insect samplings were collected by sweep net over a 7-12 day period, on alfalfa fields. In this study, among determined species, Hypera postica (Gyllenhal 1813), Apion pisi (Fabricius 1801), Sitona macularius (crinitus) (Marsham 1802), Sitona hispidulus (Fabricius 1777) and Sitona humeralis Stephens 1831 were recorded as important pests and widespread. The most abundance species rates were Apion pisi 85.0%, Hypera postica 7.2%, S. humeralis 3.4%, S. macularis 2.1%, S. hispidulus 1.3 % respectively. Nonetheless Sitona lineatus (Linneaus 1758), Sitona flavescens (Marshall 1802), Ceutorhynchus pallidactylus (Marsham 1802), Ceutorhynchus anatolicus Schultze, 1900, Phyllobius sp., Protapion trifolii (Linnaeus 1768), Ceratapion gibbirostre (Gyllenhal 1813), Gymnetron rotundicolle Gyllenhal 1838 were also found in towns of Bursa province. S. flavescens, Ceutorhynchus pallidactylus, C. anatolicus, Protapion trifolii, C. gibbirostre were the first record in Bursa province. Key Words: Alfalfa, Curculionoidae, distribution, Bursa. INTRODUCTION Alfalfa (Medicago sativa), also known as Lucerne, Purple Medic and Trefoil, is a perennial flowering plant cultivated as an important forage crop. The total amount of alfalfa produced in Bursa is about 71 285 tons (Anonymous 2010a).
