Significant data were generated by this CRP to demonstrate that a minimum dose of between 200 and 400 Gy would rende numbea r f non-fruio r insecty fl tmited an s s sterile, thus meeting quarantine requirements. However, only a limited species pf insects and mites were studied. Additional data are required to provide conclusive evidence that such a dose would render most, if not all, species of non-fruit fly insects and mites sterile. Plant parasitic nematodes appear to be resistant to irradiation as the dose required to render them sterile would cause damage to fresh horticultural commodities. Irradiation would be a useful quarantine treatment against this pest only for durable commodities such as pot soil, wood products, etc. This publication present e researcth s P presente e CR finahth e resultlt th a d f o s FAO/IAEA Research Co-ordination Meeting hosteCollege th y d b Tropicaf eo l Agriculturd ean Human Resources, University of Hawaii at Manoa, and Department of Agriculture, State of Hawaii, hel Honolulun di , Hawaii Novembe,7 froo t m3 r 1997. e ScientifiTh .

Volume 111 1960 Number 3429 A REVISION OF THE GENUS OGCODES LATREILLE WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO SPECIES OF THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE By Evert I. Schlinger^ Introduction The cosmopolitan Ogcodes is the largest genus of the acrocerid or spider-parasite family. As the most highly evolved member of the subfamily Acrocerinae, I place it in the same general line of develop- ment as Holops Philippi, Villalus Cole, Thersitomyia Hunter, and a new South African genus.^ Ogcodes is most closely associated with the latter two genera . The Ogcodes species have never been treated from a world point of view, and this probably accounts for the considerable confusion that exists in the literature. However, several large regional works have been published that were found useful: Cole (1919, Nearctic), Brunetti (192G, miscellaneous species of the world, mostly from Africa and Australia), Pleske (1930, Palaearctic), Sack (1936. Palaearctic), and Sabrosky (1944, 1948, Nearctic). Up to this time 97 specific names have been applied to species and subspecies of this genus. Of these, 19 were considered synonyms, hence 78 species were assumed valid. With the description of 14 new species and the addition of one new name while finding onl}^ five new synonyms, 1 Department of Biological Control, University of California, Riverside, Calif. • This new genus, along with other new species and genera, is being described in forthcoming papers by the author. 227 228 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM vol. m we find there are now 88 world species and subspecies. Thus, the total number of known forms is increased by 16 percent.

Though diverging in some morphological features from previously de- scribed species, it is placed in genus Sabulopteryx Triberti, based on wing venation, abdominal characters, male and female genitalia and hostplant choice; this placement is supported by phylogenetic analysis based on the COI mitochondrial gene.

Three diets were prepared which differed on the base ingredients; wood particles (Diet 1), cellulose powder (Diet 2), and alpha-cellulose (Diet 3). The diets were provided to adult L. africanus and the number of larvae, as well as the number of adults that emerged sex ratio, and body weight of the progeny was determined. Findings indicated similar results for the number of larvae, sex ratio and body weight of the emerged L. africanus fed on each diet. However, the number of adult produced by L. africanus on Diet 3 was significantly lower. The results indicate that the amount of vital nutrients is not the only important factor in selecting a suitable diet for L.

Due to the harmful effects of traditional chemical controls, it has become necessary to find new insecticides that are both effective and safe. In this sense, plant-derived products such as essential oils (EOs) appear to be appropriate alternatives. Therefore, laboratory assays were carried out to determine the Citation: Patiño-Bayona, W.R.; chemical compositions, as well as the bioactivities, of various EOs extracted from aromatic plants on Nagles Galeano, L.J.; Bustos Cortes, the maize weevil.

Thus, both in terms of quantities produced and the value of its products, the vine constitutes a particularly important cultivation. THE HOST PLANT AND ITS CULTIVATION The original area of distribution of the genus Vitis was broken up by the separation of the continents; although numerous species developed, Vitis vinifera has been cultivated from the beginning for its fruit and wine producing qualities (43, 75, 184). This cultivation commenced in Transcaucasia about 6000 B.C. Subsequent human migration spread its cultivation, at firstaround the Mediterranean coast; the Roman conquest led to the plant's progressive establishment in Europe, almost to its present extent. Much later, the WesternEuropeans planted the grape vine wherever cultiva­ tion was possible, i.e. throughout the temperate and warm temperate regions of the by NORTH CAROLINA STATE UNIVERSITY on 02/01/10.

  • Wood-‐Destroying Organism Inspection
    InterNACHI Wood-Destroying Organism Inspection Student Course Materials InterNACHI free online course is at http://www.nachi.org/wdocourse.htm. Wood-Destroying Organism Inspection The purpose of the course is to define and teach good practice for: 1) conducting a wood-destroying organism inspection of a building; and 2) performing treatment applications for the control of wood-destroying organisms. This course provides information, instruction, and training for the wood-destroying organism inspector and commercial pesticide applicator studying to become certified.
