Abstract: A large number of Bacillus thuringiensis isolates separated from different ecological regions of Pakistan were analysed for pesticidal activity against two lepidopteran cotton insect pests, American bollworm (Helicoverpa armigera and spotted bollworm (Earias vittella). The biological activity of local B.t. isolates demonstrated a wide range of LC50 values against both target pests. The most potent isolates HW 4.4 and INS2.25 against Helicoverpa armigera showed LC50 value of 9ng/mg of artificial diet. The Lc50 value of 2ng/mg of artificial diet was exhibited by local B.t. isolates HFZ 11.3, MR 19.1 and MG 2.6 against Earias vittella.

Introduction Microbial control of insect pest of crops using entomopathogens is an ecologically sound pest management strategy. Although insect viruses and fungal pathogens are used as microbial control agents, but Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner (B.t.) appears to has the greatest potential for this purpose. Bacillus thuringiensis is an aerobic, spore forming, Gram-positive bacterium that synthesizes a crystalline parasporal inclusion composed of one of several proteins known as insecticidal crystal proteins (ICP) or delta-endotoxins during sporulation.

    Project Update: June 2013 The Monte Iberia plateau at the Alejandro de Humboldt National Park (AHNP) was visited in April and June of 2013. A total of 152 butterflies and moths grouped in 22 families were recorded. In total, 31 species of butterflies belonging to five families were observed, all but two new records to area (see list below). Six species and 12 subspecies are Cuban endemics, including five endemics restricted to the Nipe-Sagua- Baracoa. In total, 108 species of moths belonging to 17 families were registered, including 25 endemic species of which five inhabit exclusively the NSB Mountains (see list below). In total, 52 butterflies and endemic moth species were photographed to be included in a guide of butterflies and endemic moths inhabiting Monte Iberia. Vegetation types sampled were the evergreen forests, rainforest, and charrascals (scrub on serpentine soil) at both north and southern slopes of Monte Iberia plateau Sixteen butterfly species were observed in transects. Park authorities were contacted in preparation on a workshop to capacitate park staff.

  • Acoustic Communication in the Nocturnal Lepidoptera
    Chapter 6 Acoustic Communication in the Nocturnal Lepidoptera Michael D. Greenfield Abstract Pair formation in moths typically involves pheromones, but some pyra- loid and noctuoid species use sound in mating communication. The signals are generally ultrasound, broadcast by males, and function in courtship. Long-range advertisement songs also occur which exhibit high convergence with commu- nication in other acoustic species such as orthopterans and anurans. Tympanal hearing with sensitivity to ultrasound in the context of bat avoidance behavior is widespread in the Lepidoptera, and phylogenetic inference indicates that such perception preceded the evolution of song. This sequence suggests that male song originated via the sensory bias mechanism, but the trajectory by which ances- tral defensive behavior in females—negative responses to bat echolocation sig- nals—may have evolved toward positive responses to male song remains unclear. Analyses of various species offer some insight to this improbable transition, and to the general process by which signals may evolve via the sensory bias mechanism. 6.1 Introduction The acoustic world of Lepidoptera remained for humans largely unknown, and this for good reason: It takes place mostly in the middle- to high-ultrasound fre- quency range, well beyond our sensitivity range. Thus, the discovery and detailed study of acoustically communicating moths came about only with the use of electronic instruments sensitive to these sound frequencies. Such equipment was invented following the 1930s, and instruments that could be readily applied in the field were only available since the 1980s. But the application of such equipment M. D.

A.); Zwahlen, C (Zwahlen, C.) Source: BIOLOGICAL CONTROL Volume: 103 Pages: 204­209 DOI: 10.1016/j.biocontrol.2016.09.009 Published: DEC 2016 Abstract: Ground beetles are significant predators in agricultural habitats. While many studies have characterized effects of Bt maize on various carabid species, few have examined the potential acquisition of Cry toxins from live plants versus plant residue. In this study, we examined how live Bt maize and Bt maize residue affect acquisition of Cry1Ab in six species. Adult beetles were collected live from fields with either current­year Bt maize, one­year­old Bt maize residue, two­year­old Bt maize residue, or fields without any Bt crops or residue for the past two years, and specimens were analyzed using ELISA. Observed Cry1Ab concentrations in the beetles were similar to that reported in previously published studies. Only one specimen of Cyclotrachelus iowensis acquired Cry1Ab from two­year­old maize residue. Three species acquired Cry1Ab from fields with either live plants or plant residue (Cyclotrachelus iowensis, Poecilus lucublandus, Poecilus chalcites), implying participation in both live­plant and residue­based food webs. Two species acquired toxin from fields with live plants, but not from fields with residue (Bembidion quadrimaculatum, Elaphropus incurvus), suggesting participation only in live plant­based food webs.

(LEPIDOPTERA: NOCTUIDAE) Pratibha, Rajendra Singh* Department of Zoology, D.D.U. Gorakhpur University, Gorakhpur, U. P, India ABSTRACT: The okra moth Earias vittella is one of the dangerous pests attacking okra in India. The present study was conducted aiming at evaluation of effects of various botanicals, viz., aqueous extract of garlic bulb (AEG), aqueous extract of neem leaves (AEN) and NeemGold (NG) on the life-table parameters of this insect. Different concentrations of each botanical had been applied on the host plant, Abelmoschus esculentus. The current investigation recorded significant reduction of the age-specific survivorship, reproductive and net fecundity rates; intrinsic rate of natural increase and doubling time of the population of the pest while generation time remains unaffected. Also, longevity of the adult females was remarkably shortened. The strongest shortening action was determined by NG, followed by AEG and AEN, respectively. Total fecundity rate (Rt) was reduced to 102.17 (AEG), 68.00 (AEN), 54.67 (NG), 235.67 progeny/female (Control), respectively and net reproductive rate (Ro) were 52.00 (AEG), 33.83 (AEN), 26.50 (NG) and control was 119.67daughter/female. Likewise, values of the intrinsic rate (rm) were 0.1689 (AEG), 0.1524 (AEN), 0.1440 (NG), 0.2035 (control), respectively. The generation time (GT) insignificantly varied between 22.79 to23.51 days. Reproductive periods and post-reproductive periods were significantly affected (decreased) by the tested botanicals.

ARTICLE DETAILS ABSTRACT Article History: In this laboratory study, insecticidal and inhibitory potential of two chitin synthesis inhibitors (CSIs) viz. Buprofezin and Lufenuron were evaluated against okra shoot and fruit borer (OSFB). CSIs were applied on Received 01 March 2021 three days old larvae through different bioassay methods like topical or direct, okra-dip or indirect and Accepted 06 April 2021 Available online April 2021 combined (topical + leaf-dip). Data were collected on larval mortality, weight reduction and deformations of larvae and adults. Results showed that larval mortality and weight reduction were clearly dose, application 22 methods and time dependent. In case of both CSIs, the highest mortality was found @ 1.0 ml/L that was followed by 0.75 ml and 0.50 ml/L respectively. Likewise, the highest body weight reduction was also found from 1.0 ml/L. In both cases, the concentration 0.5 ml/L was found less effective.
