They are well documented in the all types of crop ecosystem from dense forest to savannah. The present study provides the consolidated information on longhorn beetle fauna of Gujarat, includes 12 species comes under 11 genera of the four sub-families. Among the subfamilies, the Cerambycinae contributes larger diversity of species followed by Lamiinae, Prioninae and Lepturinae. All the 12 species are first time reported and added to the fauna list of Gujarat. Keywords: Longhorn beetles, Gujarat, description Introduction Pachydissus inclemens Thomson, 1865 The Longhorn beetles are the members of Phytophaga which contains Neocerambyx sordidus Pascoe, 1888 a highly derived group of polyphagous beetles that feed primarily on Diorthus simplex Gahan, 1896 vascular part of the plants by larvae and adults (Ślipiński et al., Diorthus cinereus Aurivillius, 1912 2011).

The rainfall is highly erratic having 65 percent coefficient of variability. The vegetation in Key words:- the Indian arid zone is very sparse , scanty and thorny. However, the Forest, Bruchid, Parasitoid.. forests and trees like many other plants, suffer from attack by insect pests and diseases which cause a lot of damage, resulting in poor tree growth, poor timber quality, and in some cases, complete destruction and reduction of forest cover in Indian arid zone also. Thus, trees and forests need to be protected from these agents of destruction. With the ever increasing human and livestock population, the amount of forest per capita is declining particularly in the less industrialized or developing areas of the world. It is estimated that the land under forest in developing countries is about 2100 million hectares, or more than half of the forested land on earth.

  • Chapter 15. Central and Eastern Africa: Overview
    Chapter 15 Chapter 15 CENTRAL AND EASTERN AFRICA: OVERVIEW The region as treated here is comprised mainly of Angola, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Congo (Brazzaville), Congo (Kinshasa) (formerly Zaire), Kenya, Malawi, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia. The wide variety of insects eaten includes at least 163 species, 121 genera, 34 families and 10 orders. Of this group the specific identity is known for 128 species, only the generic identity for another 21, only the family identity of another 12 and only the order identity of one. Gomez et al (1961) estimated that insects furnished 10% of the animal proteins produced annually in Congo (Kinshasa). Yet, in this region, as in others, insect use has been greatly under-reported and under-studied. Until recently, for example, the specific identity was known for fewer than twenty species of insects used in Congo (Kinshasa), but, in a careful study confined only to caterpillars and only to the southern part of the country, Malaisse and Parent (1980) distinguished 35 species of caterpillars used as food. The extent of insect use throughout the region is probably similar to that in Congo (Kinshasa) and Zambia, the best-studied countries. Research is needed. Caterpillars and termites are the most widely marketed insects in the region, but many others are also important from the food standpoint, nutritionally, economically or ecologically. As stated by this author (DeFoliart 1989): "One can't help but wonder what the ecological and nutritional maps of Africa might look like today if more effort had been directed toward developing some of these caterpillar, termite, and other food insect resources." The inclusion of food insects in the Africa-wide Exhibition on Indigenous Food Technologies held in Nairobi, Kenya, in 1995 is indicative of the resurgence of interest in this resource by the scientific community of the continent.

  • Pest and Diseases in Mango (Mangifera Indica L.) J
    PEST AND DISEASES IN MANGO (MANGIFERA INDICA L.) J. González-Fernández, J.I. Hormaza IHSM la Mayora CSIC-UMA, 29750 Algarrobo, Malaga, Spain EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In this work, we review the most important pests and diseases that affect mango production worldwide as well as the main measures implemented to control them. Pests and diseases are the main factors that can impact sustainable mango fruit production in the tropics and subtropics worldwide. Commercial cultivation of mango, characterized by expansion to new areas, changing crop management, replacement of varieties and increased chemical interventions, has altered significantly the pest and disease community structure in this crop in the different mango producing regions. In addition, climate change is inducing the emergence of new pests and, whereas globalization and trade liberalization have created wide opportunities for mango commercialization growth, at the same time, this can result in faster dispersion of pests and diseases among different mango growing areas if proper sanitary measures are not implemented. This review covers different topics related to pests and diseases in mango. First, a thorough description of the main pests and diseases that affect mango is provided. Second, the different approaches used in different mango producing countries for chemical and biological control are described. Third, recommendations for appropriate mango management techiques that include integrated pest and disease management, reduction in the use of chemicals and the implementation of a good monitoring and surveillance system to help control the main pests and diseases, are also discussed. Finally, the current knowledge on agrohomeopathy and Korean Natural Farming is analyzed and recommendations on future lines of research to optimize mango pest and disease control are discussed.

Red palm weevil, Rhynchophorus ferrugineus Olivier, is one of the most destructive pests harming palm trees. However, genomic resources for R. ferrugineus are still lacking, limiting the ability to discover molecular and genetic means of pest control. Methods. In this study, PacBio Iso-Seq and Illumina RNA-seq were used to generate transcriptome from three developmental stages of R. ferrugineus (pupa, 7th-instar larva, adult) to increase the understanding of the life cycle and molecular characteristics of the pest. Results. Sequencing generated 625,983,256 clean reads, from which 63,801 full-length transcripts were assembled with N50 of 3,547 bp. Expression analyses revealed 8,583 differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Moreover, gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis revealed that these Submitted 5 March 2020 Accepted 29 September 2020 DEGs were mainly related to the peroxisome pathway which associated with metabolic Published 2 November 2020 pathways, material transportation and organ tissue formation.

  • The Tropical Fig Borer, Batocera Rufomaculata (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae), New for Turkey
    The Tropical Fig Borer, Batocera rufomaculata (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae), new for Turkey by Göksel Tozlu and Hikmet Özbek Abstract: The Tropical Fig Borer, Batocera rufomaculata (De Geer, 1775) is recorded from the eastern Mediterranean Region of Turkey as a genus, species and a fig pest new for Turkey. The material collected and the views of some growers suggest that B. rufomaculata was probably in- troduced to Turkey from Israel, Lebanon, Syria or Iraq in the 1970s. Kurzfassung: Der Tropische Feigenbohrer, Batocera rufomaculata (De Geer, 1775) wird erst- mals aus der Türkei gemeldet, und zwar aus der östlichen Mittelmeeregion. Nicht nur die Art, auch der Genus ist neu für die Türkei; auch als Feigenschädling wird die Art in der Türkei erst- mals registriert. Aufgrund des gesammelten Materials und aufgrund von Berichten von Feigenan- bauern wird geschlossen, daß B. rufomaculata in die Türkei wahrscheinlich aus Israel, dem Liba- non, Syrien oder dem Irak eingeschleppt wurde. Key words: Batocera rufomaculata, Cerambycidae, fig borer, new record, new pest, alien spe- cies, Turkey, Middle East. Introduction The Tropical Fig Borer, Batocera rufomaculata (De Geer, 1775), has a tropical distribution, extending from southern China through Malaya, India, Sri Lanka, Madagascar and Mauritius to eastern Africa (AVIDOV & HARPAZ 1969, KATBEH-BADER 1996). This pest species was introduced into Israel in 1949 (AVIDOV & HARPAZ 1969) and into Jordan in the 1940s (KAT- BEH-BADER 1996). Following this, HEYROVSKY (1963) recorded the presence of this species in Jordan in 1957. Although HALPERIN & HOLZSCHUH (1993) indicated that B. rufomaculata has been disappearing in Israel since the 1970s, more recently KATBEH-BADER (pers.
