An experiment was conducted to study the mechanisms of resistance on different groundnut genotypes towards groundnut leafminer. Groundnut genotypes tested for their reaction to leaf miner revealed that the proteins had shown significant negative correlation with incubation period, fourth instar duration, fifth instar duration, and total larval duration and total life span, phenols showed a significant positive correlation with third instar duration, fourth instar duration, total larval duration and total life span and reducing sugars showed positive correlation with incubation period and total life span. Keywords: Groundnut leaf miner, Proteins, Phenols, Reducing sugars.

Though much work has borne technology gives a promising way of been done on screening of groundnut managing the insect pest which is cost genotypes for plant resistance to gelechiidae effective to the farmers and environmental insect pests, not enough focus has been given friendly.

VAN DEN BERG School of Environmental Sciences and Development, North-West University, Potchefstroom, 2520, South Africa Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract The groundnut leafminer (Aproaerema modicella), has been reported from east African countries since 1998 and from South Africa since 2000. The study aimed at determining the biology and management of groundnut leafminer (GLM) in South Africa. In a survey, 10 parasitic Hymenoptera species were identified. Two hyperparasitoids were also recorded for the first time in South Africa. GLM flight activity patterns were studied using pheromone traps at the border of groundnut fields at four localities in South Africa. Research progress in pest behaviour was hampered because male and female moths could not be distinguished.. Morphologi- cal characteristics of both larvae and pupae were identified either by use of the naked eye or a stereomicroscope according to sex. Flight activity coincided with the peak production period of groundnut, with the highest number of moths recorded between January and May each year. The optimum time of insecticide application and the number of applications for GLM control were determined and significant differences in efficacy observed. Key words: Flight activity, groundnut, groundnut leafminer, IPM components, South Africa Introduction The presence of pink coloured gonads visible through the larval cuticle is a distinguishing characteristic of male Groundnut crop is major source of income for small-scale GLM larvae (Shanower et al., 1993).

Infestation levels were determined on respective host crops sampled from different localities and P. operculella recorded the highest infestation of 68.00 ± 4.92% on stored potato. Aproaerema simplixella and T. absoluta accounted for 61.33 ± 5.35% and 51.56 ± 5.22% maximal infestation on groundnuts and tomato leaves, respectively. Stored maize was significantly infested byS. cerealella (54.33 ± 5.31%) while no infestation was observed on the freshly harvested grains. Infestation on open bolls by P. gossypiella was relatively low (6.11 ± 3.46%) compared to Anatrachyntis simplex (45.67 ± 7.84%) that emerged as the key pest of cotton.

  • INSECT PESTS of GROUNDNUT (Arachis Hypogaea L.), NATURE of DAMAGE and SUCCESSION with the CROP STAGES
    ISSN 0258-7122 Bangladesh J. Agril. Res. 39(2): 273-282, June 2014 INSECT PESTS OF GROUNDNUT (Arachis hypogaea L.), NATURE OF DAMAGE AND SUCCESSION WITH THE CROP STAGES G. C. BISWAS1 Abstract Thirty six species of insect pests were found to infest the different growth stages of groundnut crop at Gazipur, Bangladesh during the rabi seasons of 2008-09 and 2009-010. Among the recorded pest species, the hairy caterpillar, Spilarctia obliqua ( Walker); common cutworm, Spodoptera litura F.; jassid, Empoasca terminalis Distant ; leaf miner, Stomopteryx nerteria M. and leaf roller, Anersia ephippias (Meyr.) were considered as the major pests, while the rests were of minor importance on the basis of their population densities/plant, nature and extent of damage and yield reductions. Most of the major and minor pests infested during the vegetative to pre-maturity stages (45-95 DAS) and the maximum infestation occurred during pod formation and pod filling stages (50- 80 DAS) of the crop in both the years. Keywords: Insect pests, groundnut, damage, succession, crop stages. Introduction Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is an important oilseed crop in Bangladesh on the basis of both in acreage and annual production (Biswas et al,. 2000; Mondal and Wahhab, 2001.) Its cultivation covered about 87,000 hectares and produced about 1,25,000 metric tons of seeds during 2011-12 (Krishi Diary, 2013). One of the major constraints to the successful groundnut production in Bangladesh is the damage caused by insect and mite pests. Studies reveal that 15 - 20 percent of the total oilseed production is lost directly or indirectly by the attack of insect and mite pests every year (Biswas and Das, 2011).

Thirty-five genotypes (TS 80, JS 21-08, VLS 92, PS 1589, MACS 1543, DS 3105, SL 1104, KDS 1045, DSb 32, RVS 2009-9, MACS 1520, PS 1587, NRC 126, RSC 10-70, KDS 921, Himso 1687, MAUS 711, NSO 626, AMS-MB 5-19, NRC 125, RSC 10-71, PS 1086, TS 70, VLS 93, NRC 127, SL 1113, DS 3106, BAU 100, RSC 10-52, NRC 124, AMS-MB 5-18, MACS 1505, KDS 980, DSb 31 and JS 21-05) of soybean along with three check varieties (JS 7152, RKS 18 and JS 335) were used for the study. The major insect pests observed were whitefly (Aleurodicus dispersus), leaf webber (Anarsia ephippias), flea beetle (Systena sp.) and stink bug (Nezara viridula).
