INFLUENCE OF SOME SOIL AND CULTURAL PRACTICES ON THE SUCROSE CONTENT OF SUGAR BEETS1 G. c. KENT, c. M. NAGEL, AND I.E. MELHUS From the Botany and Plant Pathology Section, Iowa Agricultural Experiment Station Received February 26, 1942 The acre yield of sucrose from sugar beets grown in Iowa was found to vary widely with the farm and the season. The sucrose yield may vary from 600 to more than 5,000 pounds per acre. Large portions of this varia­ tion in yield may be attributed to soil and weather conditions, cropping practices, and destructiveness of crop diseases and insects.

    Importation of Fresh Beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), Shelled or in Pods, from Jordan into the Continental United States A Qualitative, Pathway-Initiated Risk Assessment February 14, 2011 Version 2 Agency Contact: Plant Epidemiology and Risk Analysis Laboratory Center for Plant Health Science and Technology United States Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service Plant Protection and Quarantine 1730 Varsity Drive, Suite 300 Raleigh, NC 27606 Pest Risk Assessment for Beans from Jordan Executive Summary In this risk assessment we examined the risks associated with the importation of fresh beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), in pods (French, green, snap, and string beans) or shelled, from the Kingdom of Jordan into the continental United States. We developed a list of pests associated with beans (in any country) that occur in Jordan on any host based on scientific literature, previous commodity risk assessments, records of intercepted pests at ports-of-entry, and information from experts on bean production. This is a qualitative risk assessment, as we express estimates of risk in descriptive terms (High, Medium, and Low) rather than numerically in probabilities or frequencies. We identified seven quarantine pests likely to follow the pathway of introduction. We estimated Consequences of Introduction by assessing five elements that reflect the biology and ecology of the pests: climate-host interaction, host range, dispersal potential, economic impact, and environmental impact. We estimated Likelihood of Introduction values by considering both the quantity of the commodity imported annually and the potential for pest introduction and establishment. We summed the Consequences of Introduction and Likelihood of Introduction values to estimate overall Pest Risk Potentials, which describe risk in the absence of mitigation.

Car- retera México-Texcoco km 36.5, Montecillo, Texcoco, Estado de México, C.P. 56230 Abstract The metathoracic scent gland of 25-day-old adults of both sexes of the leaf-footed bug, Leptoglossus zonatus (Dallas) (Heteroptera: Coreidae), are described based on optical microscopy analysis. No sexual dimorphism was observed in the glandular composition of this species. The gland is located in the anteroventral corner of the metathoracic pleura between the middle and posterior coxal pits. The opening to the outside of the gland is very wide and permanently open as it lacks a protective membrane. In the internal part, there is a pair of metathoracic glands that consist of piles of intertwined and occasionally bifurcated cellular tubes or columns. These glands discharge their pheromonal contents into the reservoir through a narrow cuticular tube. The reservoir connects with the vestibule via two opposite and assembled cuticular folds that can separate muscularly in order to allow the flow of liquid away from the insect. The external part consists of an ostiole from which the pheromone is emitted.

Salih PARLAK Bursa Technical University, Faculty of Forestry, Bursa, TURKEY [email protected] Received Date: 14.02.2017 Accepted Date: 09.06.2017 Abstract Aim of study: Leptoglossus occidentalis which is first identified by Heidemann at North America in 1910 spread quickly after WW II. Although it was first seen in 1999 in Europe has swept the continent in 10 years. First damage observation in Turkey reported in Kozak Basin of Bergama on cones of stone pine trees which has valuable edible seeds. The seed yield loss started in 2005 and reached to a peak in 2009. In addition to high early age conelet loss, rate of emptiness of cones has sometimes reached to 90 %. The bug causes decrement in seed formation and seed germination ability significantly by causing early stage conelet loss and destroying endosperm parts of mature cones. In respect of forestry activities decrement of seed resources caused due to bug damage will have negative impact on natural regeneration activities in Turkey and probably will end in failure. In this study, it was aimed to determine the severity of damage caused by the collecting of cone samples from the stone pine forests in our country. Area of study: Without making any discrimination either planted or natural or any altitude or any aspect, stone pine cones have been collected from 42 localities which are distributed all around Turkey.

Gene content, gene arrangement, nucleotide composition, codon usage, ribosomal RNA (rRNA) structures, and sequences of the mitochondrial transcription termination factor were well conserved in Pyrrhocoroidea. Different protein-coding genes have been subject to different evolutionary rates correlated with the G + C content. The size of control regions (CRs) was highly variable among mitogenomes of three sequenced Pyrrhocoroidea species, with the P.

  • Broad-Headed Bugs (Alydidae)
    Chapter 18 Broad-Headed Bugs (Alydidae) Antônio R. Panizzi and Carl w. Schaefer Abstract The broad-headed bugs (Alydidae) are divided into two subfamilies, Alydinaeand Micrelytrinae, each divided into two tribes, Daclerini and Alydini, and Micrelytriniand Leptocorisini, respectively, The farnily has 53 genera and about 250 specieins; the Neotropics, there are 21 genera. Alydids are small (8-20 mm), slen- Itr,with a triangular head; nymphs of alydines mimic ants, the adults of some Micrelytrinialso rnirnic ants. The most studied species in the Neotropics is the aly- dineNeomegalotomus parvus (Westwood), usually associated with legumes, and maybe a pest on soybean. Other common genera include Hyalymenus Amyot & Serville,Stenocoris Burmeister, Cydamus Stâl, and Trachelium Herrich-Schâffer. Studieson taxonomy and bioecology on alydids of the Neotropics are needed. 18.1 Introduction AlydidaeAmyot and Serville, 1843, were treated as a subfarnily of the farnily Coreidaeand even as a tribe (Schaffner 1964); now it has been treated as a farnily, ~ether with Coreidae, Rhopalidae, Hyocephalidae, and Stenocephalidae, in the !UperfarniCoreoidealy (Schaefer 1964). Thisfarnily contains 53 genera and approximately 250 species, mostly tropical Irsubtropical,in all regions of the world. There are only two genera that span both dleOldand the New World, Alydus and Megalotomus. These genera are Holarctic, IInAlydus extends from Alaska through Canada into Mexico (Brailovsky and Flores 1979;Froeschner 1988; Maw et al. 2000). The genera of Alydinae have been revised by Schaffner (1964; 22 species worldwide);the world genera of the subfamily Micrelytrinae, tribe Leptocorisini, were CarlW.Schaefer: Author deceased at the time of publication A.RP.anizzi ([gJ) Laboratóriode Entomologia, Embrapa Trigo, Caixa Postal 3081, Passo Fundo, RS9900l-970,Brazil e-mail:[email protected] eSpringerScience-Business Media Dordrecht 2015 537 :I.R.Panizzi,J.

The former Sphecidae (sensu Menke, 1997 and auct.) is divided in two families: Crabronidae (Astatinae, Bembicinae, Crabroninae, Pemphredoninae and Philanthinae) and Sphecidae (Ampulicinae and Sphecinae). The following subspecies are elevated to species: Podium aureosericeum Kohl, 1902; Podium bugabense Cameron, 1888. New names are proposed for the following junior homonyms: Cerceris modica new name for Cerceris modesta Smith, 1873, non Smith, 1856; Liris formosus new name for Liris bellus Rohwer, 1911, non Lepeletier, 1845; Liris inca new name for Liris peruanus Brèthes, 1926 non Brèthes, 1924; and Trypoxylon guassu new name for Trypoxylon majus Richards, 1934 non Trypoxylon figulus var. majus Kohl, 1883. KEYWORDS: Hymenoptera, Sphecidae, Crabronidae, Catalog, Taxonomy, Systematics, Nomenclature, New Name, Distribution. INTRODUCTION years ago and it is badly outdated now. Bohart and Menke (1976) cleared and updated most of the This catalog arose from the necessity to taxonomy of the spheciform wasps, complemented assess the present taxonomical knowledge of the by a series of errata sheets started by Menke and Neotropical spheciform wasps1, the Crabronidae Bohart (1979) and continued by Menke in the and Sphecidae.

Insects and related arthropods associated with greenleaf manzanita in montane chaparral communities of northeastern California. Gen. Tech. Rep. PSW-GTR-167. Albany, CA: Pacific Southwest Research Station, Forest Service, U.S. Dept. Agriculture; 26 p. September 1997 Specimens representing 19 orders and 169 arthropod families (mostly insects) were collected from greenleaf manzanita brushfields in northeastern California and identified to species whenever possible. More than500 taxa below the family level wereinventoried, and each listing includes relative frequency of encounter, life stages collected, and dominant role in the greenleaf manzanita community. Specific host relationships are included for some predators and parasitoids. Herbivores, predators, and parasitoids comprised the majority (80 percent) of identified insects and related taxa.
