Integrated Pest Management Symposium 8th International Integrated Pest Management Symposium IPM: Solutions for a Changing World March 23–26, 2015 Salt Lake City, Utah welcome IPM: Solutions for a Changing World elcome to the 8th international IPM Symposium. Building on a tradition of nearly 30 years, this event once again brings together a rich and diverse group of IPM Wprofessionals from around the world to share their successes in finding IPM solutions in a changing world. This symposium offers opportunity to join our colleagues from around the world to hear about the latest research, discover new solutions for IPM, and connect with old friends and new colleagues. The all-volunteer planning committees have worked tirelessly over the past three years to bring you this event in Salt Lake City. The program is structured so that you can take in all events that interest you. Keynote addresses from IPM leaders will stimulate and invigorate discussion. Breakout and poster sessions are organized in tracks based on commodity or setting to address various aspects of IPM across disciplines and around the world. We will honor those for their achievements in IPM. Local field trips and professional seminars have been developed to enhance your IPM expertise. With the backdrop of the Wasatch Mountains, we hope that you enjoy all that Salt Lake City has to offer from many cultural and historical sites to shopping venues to exploring the Clark planetarium. Thank you to all of our sponsors, contributors, organizers, moderators, presenters, and participants for making the 8th International IPM Symposium a reality. The success of this event is a result of your support. Welcome and enjoy!

The study based on the Mymaridae, materials kept in the main reference insect collections in Egypt, and the Taxonomy, available literature. Egypt. INTRODUCTION The Mymaridae (fairy wasps) are a family of chalcid wasps found in temperate and tropical regions throughout the world. It includes the most primitive members of the chalcid wasp and contains around 100 genera with about 1400 species (Noyes, 2005). Fairyflies are very tiny insects and include the world's smallest known insects. They generally range from 0.5 to 1.0 mm long. Adult mymarids are rather fragile, the body generally being slender and the wings narrow with an elongate marginal fringe. Their delicate bodies and their hair-fringed wings have earned them their common name. Very little is known of the life histories of fairyflies, as only a few species have been observed extensively.

Rand, Debra K. Waters, Thomas G. Shanower Abstract*We examined rates of late-season parasitism of larvae of the wheat stem sawfly, Cephus cinctus Norton (Hymenoptera: Cephidae), by native species of Bracon F. (Hymenop- tera: Braconidae) over 8 years in Montana and North Dakota, United States of America. We found that rates of parasitism of larvae in diapause chambers reached a maximum of 46%, exceeding the previously reported maximum of 2.5% in 75% of sites and years examined.

However,land use changes associated with industrialized agricultural managements are threatening the sustainability of these systems. While previous studies assessing the impacts of agricultural management systems on biodiversity and their services focused on more diversified mesic landscapes, there is a dearth of such research

Concluding Remarks Acknowledgments Glossary Bibliography Biographical Sketch Summary In this chapter we describe the current state of tropical insect chemical ecology in Latin America with the aim of stimulating the use of this important tool for future generations of technicians and professionals workers in insect pest management. Sex pheromones of tropical insectsUNESCO that have been identified to– date EOLSS are mainly used for detection and population monitoring. Another strategy termed mating disruption, has been used in the control of the tomato pinworm, Keiferia lycopersicella, and the Guatemalan potato moth, Tecia solanivora. Research into other semiochemicals such as kairomones in tropical insects SAMPLErevealed evidence of their presence CHAPTERS in coleopterans. However, additional studies are necessary in order to confirm these laboratory results. In fruit flies, the isolation of potential attractants (kairomone) from Spondias mombin for Anastrepha obliqua was reported recently. The use of semiochemicals to control insect pests is advantageous in that it is safe for humans and the environment. The extensive use of these kinds of technologies could be very important in reducing the use of pesticides with the consequent reduction in the level of contamination caused by these products around the world.

  • Biology and Biointensive Management of Acanthoscelides Obtectus (Say) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) – a Pest of Kidney Beans Wordwide
    11th International Working Conference on Stored Product Protection Biology and biointensive management of Acanthoscelides obtectus (Say) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) – a pest of kidney beans wordwide Thakur, D.R.*#, Renuka Department of Biosciences, Himachal Pradesh University, Summerhill, Shimla 171005, India *Corresponding author, Email: [email protected], [email protected] #Presenting author, Email: [email protected] [email protected] DOI: 10.14455/DOA.res.2014.24 Abstract Insects in the family Bruchidae are commonly called “pulse weevils” and are cosmopolitan in distribution. These beetles cause serious economic loss of legume commodities both in fields and every year. Pulses constitute the main source of protein for developing countries like India where per capita consumption of animal protein is very low. Due to their high protein quantity and quality, legumes are considered as “poor man‟s meat”. A large number of non-native pulse beetles have crossed geographical boundaries and becoming cosmopolitan in distribution, thus posing major pest problem worldwide. A kidney bean pest, Acanthoscelides obtectus (Say) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) native to Central and Southern America has recently infested stored kidney beans in the Indian subcontinent. The present investigations determined life cycle, behaviour, facundity, pest status, host range and developmental compatibility on diffent legumes and different cultivars of kidney beans. Acetone and alcoholic extracts of some botanicals have been tested and proved effective to suppress facundity, egg hatch and adult longivity of the pest population under laboratory conditions. Keywords: Acanthoscelides obtectus, biology, resistance, developmental compatiblity, botanical management 1. Introduction Most pulses have 17-24% protein content which are 2.3 times higher than traditional cereals. Any stored materials of plant origin are vulnerable to attack by insect pests if the pulses are dried and stored improperly.

  • Climate-Related Transboundary Pests and Diseases
    HLC/08/BAK/4 CLIMATE-RELATED TRANSBOUNDARY PESTS AND DISEASES TECHNICAL BACKGROUND DOCUMENT FROM THE EXPERT CONSULTATION HELD ON 25 TO 27 FEBRUARY 2008 FAO, ROME CLIMATE CHANGE AND PEST DISEASES The movement of plant pests, animal diseases and invasive alien aquatic organisms across physical and political boundaries threatens food security and creates a global public concern across all countries and all regions. Countries allocate large resources to limit the spread and control of transboundary pests and diseases 1 such as avian influenza, foot-and-mouth disease and locust. They also adapt animal and plant health services and activities and cooperate regionally and globally for prevention, early warning and control. There is clear evidence that climate change is altering the distribution, incidence and intensity of animal and plant pests and diseases such as Bluetongue, a sheep disease that is moving north into more temperate zones of Europe. Cannon (see Annex 1) found examples of plant pests whose distribution is shifting in the United Kingdom and other parts of Europe, most likely due to climatic factors. For example, migrant moths of the Old World bollworm ( Helicoverpa armigera) had a phenomenal increase in the United Kingdom from 1969-2004 and there have been outbreaks at the northern edge of its range in Europe; cottony cushion scale ( Icerya purchasi) populations appear to be spreading northwards perhaps as a consequence of global warming; and cottony camellia scale ( Pulvinaria – Chloropulvinaria – floccifera) has become much more common in the United Kingdom, extending its range northwards in England and increasing its host range in the last decade or so, which is almost certainly in response to climate change.
