As a result. it has received limited attention from scientists and tcchnologists. FAO estimates for 1977 indicate an annual global production of 105 million tons on 11 million hectarcs. of which at lcast 55 mili ion are consumed by humans. Although cassava is now cultivated in sorne 90 countries. 80 pcrcent ofthc world's production comes from only 10; the six leading producers are Brazil (31%), Indonesia, Zaire, Nigeria, Thailand and 1ndia (98). 1n many parts of thc world, especially Wcst A frica, cassava appears to be the most economical. lowest risk subsistcnce crop for the small farmer. Thc increasing world population and the limited availability of energy has prompted a recent surge of interest in cassava, not only for traditional uses as a human food and for specialized starches including tapioca but also for animal feedstuffs and industrial uses (65). There is an cxcellent potcntial for increasing both yicld and arca under cultivation. Two international ccnlers for tropical agriculture. one in Colombia (Centro Internacional de Agricultura Tropical, CIAT) and another in Nigeria ( 1nternationall nstitute ofTropical Agriculture, liTA), carry out cxtcnsive research on cassava in addition to other tropical crops (98). Emphasis is placed on dcveloping high-yiclding germplasm for low-input conditions. Present world cassava yiclds undcr small-farm conditions average only 5 to 15 t f ha. Experimental yields of 55 t in Colombia (27) and 70 t/ ha elsewhere (97) ha ve been obtained. Commercial yields with low input in Colombia ha ve cxceeded 40 t / ha. Thcse figures indica te that undoubtedly there are severa! fa ctors limiting production undcr farm conditions, one of which is pests. 1t has frcquently becn reported that cassava is gencrally free of arthropod pests; however, prcsenl rescarch at C IAT and othcr centers rcveals that mite and insect damage does limit cassava production; e.g .. the recent introduction into A frica and the conscquent epidemic of the green mitc A1ononychellus tanaioa has caused serious crop losses (86, 104). Cassava pcsts represen! a wide range of arthropods: approximately 200 species have been rccorded. Although many are minor pests. causing little or no economic losses, severa! must be classified as major pests. These include mites. thrips, stemborers. hornworms. whiteflies and scale insects.

Colomh1a 5 What little information is available on this subjecl- scattered in numerous journals and monographs- has been collected and made available to researchers through CIAT's Cassava lnformation Center. There is a paucity of data on cassava pest biology, ecology, dislribution, seasonal occurrence and economic damage, often resulting in confusion as lo iden1ifica1ion, laxonomic classification, delermination of synonyms and effective control measures. An attempl has been made to galher informalion on lhese pests with recent observation~ by th..: authors, whose experience has been mainly in Latín America. The host plant Manihot esculenta, a member ofthe Euphorbiaceae, is a perennial shrub that originated in the Americas; it was la ter taken to Africa and more recently introduced into Asia. Common names include mandioca, yuca, manioc and tapioca. Because of the different levels of cyanogenic glycosides it conlains in the roots, it has often been classified into "sweet" and "bitter" varieties. Leaves are formed at active apices and consist of an elongated petiole anda palma te leaf blade. The plant exhibits apical dominance, producing a single stcm; the petioles are borne on raised structures, giving the slem a characlerislic nobby appearance. When the main apex becomcs reproductive. apical dominance is broken; and two, three, or four axillary buds immediately below the reproductive slruclure become active and branching occurs. The roots accumulate carbohydrales in the parenchyma lo form swollen storage organs. Depending on ecological conditions, lhe planl is cultivaled from 8 to 24 months. Although the plant can be grown from seed, it is usually reproduced vegetatively for commercial purposes by planting stem cuttings. Cassava is grown commercially at altitudes between sea leve! and 2000 meters. Distribution of pests The greatest diversity of insects reported attacking cassava is from the Amcricas. Representatives of the 17 general groups of pests described in this review are f ound in the Americas, 12 are reported from A frica. and only 5 are from Asia. U ndoubtedly, pesl distribulion is more widely dispersed than the literalure indicates. Mites. whiteflies, whitegrubs. scales and termiles are reported from all major cassava-growing areas. The green mite Mononychellus tanajoa is reported only from the Americas and ccrtain parts of Africa ( 105). whereas the lwo-spotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae (T 1elariw) is reported worldwide. The white scale Aonidomytilus albus is reported from Asia. Africa and thc Americas whercas severa! other scale species are more localized. White grubs are reponed damaging cassava in severa! regions. but no single species appears universal. The cassava hornworm (Erinnyis ello), shoot flies, fruit flies, lace bugs (VatiKa manihotae) and gall midgcs are rcported only from the Americas. Stemborers. thrips. mealybugs and leaf-cutter ant~ are reported from the Amcricas and Africa. Grasshoppcrs are rcporled as a major pest only in Africa. Cutworms and crickets are found worldwidc but have nol been reponed as attacking cassava in all arcas. lt appcars that lhc pest complex varíes greatly overthe main cassava-growing arcas; therctorc. careful quaranline measures should be employed to preven! their introduction into uninte~tcd arcas.

  • Biology of the Smartweed Borer, Pyrausta Ainsi/Iei Heinrich1
    BIOLOGY OF THE SMARTWEED BORER, PYRAUSTA AINSI/IEI HEINRICH1 By GEORGE G. AINSLIE, Entomological Assistant, and W. B. CARTWRIGHT, Scientific Assistant, Cereal and Forage Insect Investigations, Bureau of Entomology, United States Department of Agriculture INTRODUCTION The attention of the senior author was first called to the smartweed borer in 1912, when hibernating larvae were found in cornstalks at Frank- lin, Tenn. The economic status of this insect was undetermined at that time, but field and rearing records made in Tennessee and neighboring States since then have indicated that it is of no importance as a pest. At present, however, it is of considerable interest because of its similarity, both in habits and appearance, to the European corn borer (Pyrausta nubilalis Hübner). Until recently, also, it has been confused with another similar species, P. penitalis Grote, which feeds on lotus; and the purpose, in part, of this paper is to rectify this error. Although Dr. E. Mosher (7, p. 264)2 recorded differences of structure and the present authors found distinct variations in habit between the insect under discussion and the true Pyrausta penitalis, the former was first definitely recognized as an undescribed species by Mr. Carl Heinrich (ó) of the Bureau of Entomology. Mr. Heinrich gives in detail the morphological characters separating the species nubilalis, penitalis, and ainsliei in all stages. Chittenden (1) has well summarized all the avail- able records of the smartweed and lotus borers, although he was not aware that two species were included. DISTRIBUTION AND HOST PLANTS The smartweed borer is known to occur in Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Illinois; and the writers have taken it at numer- ous points in Tennessee and Kentucky and at Clemson College, S.

The effectiveness of the system was studied by tak- ing photos of 165 insect species including some subspecies from museum collections (105 Coleoptera, 11 Hemi ptera (Pentatomidae), 12 Hymenoptera, 10 Lepidoptera, 9 Mantodea, 4 Odonata, 13 Orthoptera, 1 Phasmatodea) and 16 living insect species (1 Lepidoptera, 3 Mantodea, 4 Orthoptera, 8 Phasmato- dea), from which four are exemplarily pictured herein. The system is based on a modifi ed standard consumer DSLR camera (Canon Rebel XSi), which was altered for two-channel colour infrared photography. The camera is especially sensitive in the spectral range of 700-800 nm, which is well- suited to visualize small scale spectral differences in the steep of increase in refl ectance in this range, as it could be seen in some species. Several of the investigated species show at least a partial infrared refl ectance.

  • Moths Count Newsletter 2014
    Moths Count Ne wsl etter 2014 Seven years of success! The National Moth Recording Scheme (NMRS) is going from strength to strength; over the past year we have received a minimum of 1.4 million new moth records. We have been sent data refreshes from 87 vice- counties; they include records up to 2011 and in some cases 2012 and 2013 records. The Moths Count team are extremely grateful to the network of County Moth Recorders for their continued support of the NMRS. There are now 17,054,891 moth records in the NMRS. However, we still have a substantial number of the refreshed datasets to import, so the total number of records is likely to increase significantly. Many thanks to everyone who contributes to the NMRS by sending their records to the network of County Moth Recorders, record collators & Local Record Centres, who then undertake the vital work of collating, verifying and submitting records to the NMRS. The Large Yellow Underwing is the most recorded species in the NMRS accounting for 2.4% of all observations, followed by Heart and Dart and Dark Arches which both account for 1.5% of records. Cinnabar (R. Scopes) We have recently upgraded the NMRS server and moved At the start of the year, we announced the plans for the the NMRS database onto it.

We have always intended to produce an long-term sustainability of the NMRS.

Spilomelinae and Pyraustinae form a species-rich monophylum of Crambidae (snout moths). Morphological distinction of the two groups has been diffcult in the past, and the morphologically heterogenous Spilomelinae has not been broadly accepted as a natural group due to the lack of convincing apomorphies.
