Similarly, four species of butterflies, Papilio buddha, Papilio polymnestor, Troides minos, and Cirrochroa occur as undergrowth. A considerable portion of the forest thais, recorded in this study are rare and restricted in area in this region has been converted to teak and eucalyptus distribution. The moth fauna is rich in arboreal feeding plantations by the Forest Department. A variety of wild animals forms indicating an undisturbed forest patch in the area.

  • Stage Preference and Functional Response of Rhynocoris Longifrons (Stål) (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) on Three Hemipteran Cotton Pests
    733 Vol.55, n. 5: pp.733-740, September-October 2012 BRAZILIAN ARCHIVES OF ISSN 1516-8913 Printed in Brazil BIOLOGY AND TECHNOLOGY AN INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL Stage Preference and Functional Response of Rhynocoris longifrons (Stål) (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) on Three Hemipteran Cotton Pests Kitherian Sahayaraj *, Subramanian Kalidas and Majesh Tomson Crop Protection Research Centre; Department of Advanced Zoology and Biotechnology; St. Xavier’s College (Autonomous); Palayamkottai 627 002; Tamil Nadu - India ABSTRACT In this work, the stage preference and functional response of the indigenous reduviid bug Rhynocoris longifrons feeding on five different densities of the cotton aphid Aphis gossypii , Phenacoccus solenopsis , and Dysdercus cingulatus was examined in Petri dish arenas containing cotton leaves under laboratory conditions. The reduviid predator exhibited a Type II functional response at all hemipteran pests evaluated when data were fit to Holling’s disc equation. Predatory rate gradually increased while the predator grew older and adults consumed maximum number of D. cingulatus and P. solenopsis . An opposite trend was observed, while the reduviid was provided with Aphis gossypii . The rate of attack on P. solenopsis was quite low but fairly consistent, with the different life stages of the predator generally more effective. Further investigation of the biological control potential of R. longifrons against cotton pests under pot and controlled filed should be done due to the predator’s ability to kill adult stages of all prey species evaluated. These results indicated that R. longifrons could eat more aphids at high prey densities; however, predators also considerably reduced other cotton pests too so it could be considered a prospective candidate for use as a commercial biological control agent for cotton hemipteran pests in India.

Najitha Banu1 and T.Kubendran1 ABSTRACT The efficacy of entomopathogenic fungi [Beavueria bassiana (Bb08, Bb10) and Isaria fumosorosea (Ifr)] isolated from different regions of Southern Tamil Nadu, India was assessed against red cotton stainer, Dysdercus cingulatus. All the tested isolates showed 100% mortality. The B. bassiana isolates such as Bb08, Bb10 and an I. fumosorosea isolates exemplified the significant mortality among the isolates tested. LC50, LC90 and correlation coefficient were calculated for mortality. Bb08, 5 5 5 9 Bb10 and Ifr isolates unveiled the lowest LC50 (5.9 x 10 , 6.6 x 10 and 2.6 x 10 ) and LC90 (1 x 10 , 7.3 x 108 and 3.9 x 108) value compared to the isolates tested. Highly significant correlation co- efficient was observed in the isolates Bb08, Bb10 and Ifr Key words: Beauveria bassiana, Isaria fumosorosea, native isolates, mortality.

This province has many natural attractions with interesting cultures and traditions as a popular tourism destination. The geological signification of this area is in the collision zone between Shan-Thai plate and Indochina plate. Resulting in many outstanding geological diversities. This research focuses on geological features or ge osites as natural tourist attractions. Sixteen geosites were selected in Phetchabun Province consisting of waterfalls, potholes, cliffs, caves, columnar jointing, fossils localities, and many scenic viewpoints arising from tectonic plate evolution, weathering and erosion. Guidelines for geotourism development were analyzed. This is the first geotourism research study in this area, and presents geological data, recommended travel routes, an overview of the current situation and possible problems of promoting geosites as tourist attractions.

  • Evaluation of Three Different Insect Pathogenic Fungi for the Control of Dysdercus Koenigii and Oxycarenus Hyalinipennis
    Pakistan J. Zool., vol. 46(6), pp. 1759-1766, 2014. Evaluation of Three Different Insect Pathogenic Fungi for the Control of Dysdercus koenigii and Oxycarenus hyalinipennis Basir Ali Khan, Shoaib Freed*, Junaid Zafar and Muzammil Farooq Laboratory of Insect Microbiology and Biotechnology, Department of Entomology, Faculty of Agricultural Sciences and Technology, Bahauddin Zakariya University, Multan, Pakistan Abstract.- Red cotton bug, Dysdercus koenigii and dusky cotton bug, Oxycarenus hyalinipennis are progressively gaining the status of primary pests in Asia due to the overuse of chemical insecticides. For the use of biological control in pest management, this study assessed the effectiveness of three different entomopathogenic fungi i.e., Beauveria bassiana (Bb-08), Isaria fumosorosea (If-2.3) and Metarhizium anisopliae (Ma-2.3) on adults of D. koenigii and O. hyalinipennis using immersion method under laboratory conditions of 28±1°C, 60-70% RH and 7 10L:14D hrs photoperiod. Among these insect pathogenic fungi, B. bassiana divulged the lowest LC50 values (2.4×10 7 spores/ml, 2.5×10 spores/ml) on D. koenigii and O. hyalinipennis, with LT50 values of 5.09 and 4.32 days at higher concentrations of 3×108 spores/ml, respectively. Current study opens the new possibilities of using these entomopathogens as a substitute to chemical pesticides and their use in association with integrated pest management. Keywords: Cotton strainers, entomopathogens, microbial control, Beauveria bassiana, insecticide alternatives. INTRODUCTION also an important pest of lady finger, Abelmoschus esculentus L., hollyhock, Alcea rosea L. etc. Both nymphs and adults severely damage cotton bolls and Insects pests are traditionally managed by leaves (Kohno and Thi, 2004).

However, causal generalizations regarding Land abandonment forest transitions are subject to significant problems. First, forest transition theory (FTT), at least in its simplest Forest conservation renditions, tends to emphasize socially benign processes and fails to pay sufficient attention to the causal ro- Thailand le—and social impacts—of negative (push) dynamics. Second, we have yet to understand when and why forest transition drivers sometimes lead to outcomes other than forest transition (e.g., further deforestation). Of par- ticular relevance is the paucity of work analyzing the capacity of actors to counter drivers of forest transitions through adaptation and resistance strategies. These problems can lead to overly optimistic views of the causes and consequences of forest transitions, and this hinders the search for contextually sensitive policy prescriptions compatible with social justice and sustainable development. Using process tracing, this paper presents analysis of the causes of reduced deforestation in the 1980s, and forest expansion in the 1990s and early 2000s, in rain-fed maize farming areas of northern Phetchabun, Thailand.
