  • Invasive Species Management Summary Parthenium Hysterophorus
    Fall 08 Invasive species management summary Parthenium hysterophorus David Mountain, Bryony Taylor, Julien Godwin September 2016 KNOWLEDGE FOR LIFE Parthenium hysterophorus management summary This report is the Copyright of CAB International, on behalf of the sponsors of this work where appropriate. It presents unpublished research findings, which should not be used or quoted without written agreement from CAB International. Unless specifically agreed otherwise in writing, all information herein should be treated as confidential. Parthenium weed (Parthenium hysterophorus) A search in CABDirect returned very few relevant references for Parthenium hysterophorus IPM, therefore the search term “Parthenium hysterophorus Biocontrol” was used instead and this returned 195 records. Of these the first 50 records were used in the analysis of common approaches. In addition to analysis of the first 50 records, a ‘sample’ analysis was also carried out on the titles of all records returned to assess most common predators and pathogens used for biocontrol in the titles. The summary spreadsheet can be found here Geography Parthenium hysterophorus is native to the southern USA, central and South America. It was reported as a common weeds in Southern Africa in the mid 1980s (CPC) and Vietnam around 1922 (Nguyen Thi Lan et al., 2011). Most commonly studied approaches The most common approach identified from the first 50 records returned using the CAB direct search were using predators to control P. hysterophorus, followed by pathogens (Figure 1). What is not apparent from this search is the extent to which rural communities use hand weeding; hand weeding hazardous as the weed is strongly allogenic and affects humans and livestock.

  • EFFECT of INDOL-3 ACETIC ACID on the BIOCHEMICAL PARAMETERS of Achoria Grisella HEMOLYMPH and Apanteles Galleriae LARVA
    Pak. J. Biotechnol. Vol. 11 (2) 163-171 (2014) ISSN print: 1812-1837 www.pjbt.org ISSN Online: 2312-7791 EFFECT OF INDOL-3 ACETIC ACID ON THE BIOCHEMICAL PARAMETERS OF Achoria grisella HEMOLYMPH AND Apanteles galleriae LARVA Fevzi Uçkan, Havva Kübra Soydabaş* Rabia Özbek Kocaeli University, Faculty of Arts and Science, Department of Biology, 41380, Kocaeli, Turkey * E-mail : [email protected]; [email protected] Article received November 15, 2014, Revised December 12, 2014, Accepted December 18, 2014 ABSTRACT Biochemical structures such as lipid, protein, sugar and glycogen are known to play a pivotal role on the relationship between host and its parasitoid. Any changes in these parameters may have potential to alter the balance of the host-parasitoid relation. Taking this into account, the effects of plant growth regulator, indol-3 acetic acid (IAA) on the biochemical parameters of the host and parasitoid were investigated. Achoria grisella Fabricus (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) is a serious pest and causes harmful impacts on honeycomb. Endoparasitoid Apanteles galleriae Wilkinson (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) feeds on the hemolymph of the A. grisella larva and finally causes mortality of the host. Different concentrations (2, 5, 10, 50, 100, 200, 500, and 1,000ppm) of IAA were added to the synthetic diet of host larvae. Protein, lipid, sugar, and glycogen contents in hemolymph of host and in total parasitoid larvae were determined by Bradford, vanillin-phosphoric acid, and hot anthrone tests using UV-visible spectrophotometer, respectively. Protein level in host hemolymph increased upon supplement of each doses of IAA except for 10ppm. IAA application enhanced the level of sugar at 100 and 200ppm whereas a decrease was observed in lipid at 5, 10, 200, and 1,000ppm doses in host.

Entomologie, Plantage Middenlaan 64, NL-1018 DH Amsterdam, The Netherlands Colin G. T readaway, Entomologie II, Forschungsinstitut Senckenberg, Senckenberganlage 25, D-60325 Frankfurt am Main, Germany Abstract: This publication covers all Sphingidae known from the Philippines at this time in the form of an annotated checklist. (A concise checklist of the species can be found in Table 4, page 120.) Distribution maps are included as well as 18 colour plates covering all but one species. Where no specimens of a particular spe­ cies from the Philippines were available to us, illustrations are given of specimens from outside the Philippines. In total we have listed 117 species (with 5 additional subspecies where more than one subspecies of a species exists in the Philippines). Four tables are provided: 1) a breakdown of the number of species and endemic species/subspecies for each subfamily, tribe and genus of Philippine Sphingidae; 2) an evaluation of the number of species as well as endemic species/subspecies per island for the nine largest islands of the Philippines plus one small island group for comparison; 3) an evaluation of the Sphingidae endemicity for each of Vane-Wright’s (1990) faunal regions. From these tables it can be readily deduced that the highest species counts can be encountered on the islands of Palawan (73 species), Luzon (72), Mindanao, Leyte and Negros (62 each).

National Institute of Technology, Surat, Gujarat, INDIA-395007) ** (Associate Professor, Applied Mechanics Department, S. V. National Institute of Technology, Surat, Gujarat, INDIA-395007) ABSTRACT Use of waste material in concrete is important for environmental aspect. Sugar cane bagasse ash is a waste by product of sugar mill. Present study is to investigate impact of sugar cane bagasse ash in concrete. In this experimental work sugar cane bagasse ash which is taken from Maroli sugar mill, Navsari, Gujarat, INDIA is partially replace with cement at 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% by weight in concrete. The grade of concrete is M25 and w/c ratio is 0.49 taken as a reference. 150*150*150 mm cubes are casted and tested for 7, 14, 28 and 56 days. Compressive strength result shows that up to 10% replacement of sugar cane bagasse ash in concrete gives comparable result with normal concrete without any admixture, but 5% replacement give maximum compressive strength. Also the amount of sugar cane bagasse ash increase, workability of concrete increases. Keywords - Compressive strength, Concrete, Partial replacement, Sugar cane bagasse ash, Workability I.

Fennica 27: 70–76. For more than twenty years, Hainan, Vietnam, Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia have been erroneously reported in Chinese literature as belonging to the distribution range of Onryza maga (Leech 1890). Based upon a careful survey of specimens and relevant literature, these regions are omitted from the known range of this species. Onryza maga maga is found from northeast Guizhou, south Henan and Qinling-Daba Mountains in Shaanxi of China, its oc- currence in Hunan is confirmed. The adults are redescribed and the variability of wing patterns is discussed. Female genitalia are illustrated and described for the first time.

The eggs were globular in shape, yellow in colour with 0.70-0.95 mm in size. The incubation period of the eggs was 2-4 days with the neonate period of 10-15 minutes. There were five larval instars and length of the completely developed larva was 68-79 mm with larval period of 20-21 days. The maximum larvae were obtained during late August to September. The pre-pupal and pupal periods were 3-4 and 14-23 days respectively, with pupae conical in shape. The mating was always at morning (0.07-0.10 minutes) followed by oviposition (24 to 36 hours) with fecundity of 5-8. Life span of the adult was 3-5 days, total life cycle was completed in 39-52 days. Mean adult emergence (%), sex ratio and growth index were 95 to 100%, 1:1 and 2.64 to 2.27 respectively. There are only three generations in a year. The plants were infested to the extent of 31.6% by this insect. Maximum damage is caused during September-October. Keywords: Bioecology, Acherontia styx Westwood. Introduction Sesame Sesamum indicum Linn. is the Materials and Methods oldest indigenous oilseed crop of the world and Studies on the bionomics of til hawk moth, also a major oilseed crop of India.
