ARTICLE INFO Abstract: Article History Due to the significant economic losses of the sugar beet crop Received: 1/ 2 / 2020 caused by the cotton leaf worm Spodoptera sp.

(Lepidoptera : Keywords Gelechiidae), as well as the desire to reduce the use of traditional Scrobipalpa ocellatella, insecticides for their harms, this study was conducted during seasons; Spodoptera littoralis, 2017/2018 and 2018/2019 at shenno village, Kafr El-Sheikh Spodptera exigua, Governorate .The aim was to evaluate alternatives to traditional ecdysone agonists, insecticides represented by five ecdysone agonists. It also assesses its alternatives, arthropod, role in maintaining the presence of arthropod predators associated with predators and sugar these pests in the field. Results showed that the tested ecdysone beet. agonists and the tested insecticides were similar in reducing the number of Spodoptera sp. larvae. The all tested insecticides induced above 92% reduction in Spodoptera sp. larvae number in the both study seasons. As for the arthropod predators associated with Spodoptera sp., the maximum overall mean reduction was 31.59% and 11.57% during the first and second seasons respectively Compared to traditional insecticides (99.38% and 98.68% in 2017/2018 and 2018/2019 seasons respectively). Ascendancy reducing the number of S. ocellatella larvae, overall mean of reductions to all tested insecticides took the same trend. They caused above 87% reduction in S. ocellatella larvae numbers. Concerning the arthropod predators numbers associated with S. ocellatella, the maximum overall mean of reduction caused by the tested ecdysone agonists were 12.41% and 14.40% in the first and second seasons respectively. While, that recorded when using traditional insecticides 99.20%in 2017/2018 season and 99.54% in 2018/2019. Introduction Sugar beet Beta vulgaris L.

  • Lepidoptera, Gelechiidae)
    ACTA ENTOMOLOGICA MUSE! NATIONALIS PRAGAE VOL. 39 1977 A contribution to the knowledge of the tribe Gnorimoschemini of Far East (Lepidoptera, Gelechiidae) DALIBOR POVOLNY College of Agriculture, Brno Although mur.h attention has been paid tc the tribe Gnorimoschemini of Ge­ lechiidae during the last twenty years, practically nothing was knoWii, so far, about its members of Eastern Asia and Japan. A few individuals of the genus Scrobipalpa Janse were known from Japan, but no series basic for serious investigations were available. During the recent three years, limited series of moths of this tribe could be concentrated, mainly due to the efforts of Japanese lepidopterists. This material supplemented by a few other individuals is the basis for this paper. It coulQ. be objected that compared with materials studied and/or available from other mainly eremic parts of Asia this material is limited. This is certainly true. But this difficulty is obviously caused not only by possibly limited efforts in collecting Gnorimoschemini in Eastern Asia, but also by the fact that both number and density of the species there is limited, too. - The reasons to publish this contribution are mainly two: First, it is evident that especially the synu~ies of this tribe in the arboreal zone or tier of the Far East show clear taxonomic and biogeographic affinities to the adequate synusies of the Western Palaearctis, mainly of Europe as indicated yet by the investigations in the Gno­ rimoschemini of Mongolia (Povolny, 1973). Therefore also the species of the genus Oaryocol11,m Gregor & Povolny are included, although it was impossible for the time being to identify all of them exactly.

Abstract The comparative faunistic analysis of species diversity of family Gelechiidae in Islands of Peter the Great Gulf and in neighboring continental territories is made. The island fauna turned out depleted because of small size of islands, limited landscape diversity and impossibility of active moth migration due to their weak flying abilities. However the concentration of species diversity in islands is almost two orders of magnitude larger than that in continental part.
