Abstract:
Rate of development and biological features of Graphosoma lineatum was studied under laboratory conditions of 28±2°C, 60±5% R.H. and a photoperiod of 16:8 (L:D) feeding the individual insects upon seeds of 5 umbelliferous species namely parsley, fennel, dill, celery and carrot. The results indicated no significant differences regarding the duration of embryonic development in rearings on 5 already mentioned food regimes. The lowest mean larval developmental time, from egg to egg and from egg to adult stages in rearings on dill seeds was estimated as 19.73, 36.30 and 25.47 days, respectively with the highest mean records being as 26.89, 45.3 and 32.39 days in rearings on celery seeds. Regarding the percentage egg hatches, there was no significant differences between 5 treatments. The mean survival rate from first instars larval stage into adult varied from 67.53-46.66% between 5 treatments. The mean number of eggs laid in the rearings on carrot was 99.1 with 79 being in rearings on celery. It was indicated that feeding on carrot seeds resulted in highest survival rate, lowest larval developmental stages and lowest total life cycle. The number of eggs laid by adult females reared on carrot seeds appeared to be higher than on other seeds, lowering in rearing on dill, fennel, parsley and celery, respectively.

 Abstract

Insect growth regulators and spinosyns which are physiologically and ecologically selective, respectively, have been investigated as replacements or complements to the non-selective conventional insecticides. The effects of diflubenzuron, hexaflumuron, profenofos, spinosad and thiodicarb were assessed on 1st instars of cotton bollworm, Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) using dietary and leaf disc bioassay methods. Based on modes of action of the insecticides tested, the mortalities were recorded after 24 h in profenofos, thiodicarb and spinosad experiments and after 120 h in hexaflumuron and diflubenzuron treatments.  LC50 values for diflubenzuron, hexaflumuron, profenofos, spinosad and thiodicarb in dietary method were 595.05, 0.31, 3.69, 0.13 and 11.2 mg ai/L; and in leaf disc method, they were >2000, 0.46, 9.55, 0.2 and 15.52 mg ai/L, respectively. The effects of these insecticides on adult Habrobracon hebetor, an ectoparasitoid of cotton bollworm were tested using residual method. The mortalities were recorded after 24 h in all treatments. LC50 values for diflubenzuron, hexaflumuron, profenofos, spinosad and thiodicarb for females were >2000, >2000, 12.44, 15.64 and 81.04 mg ai/L, respectively and for males, they were >2000, >2000, 6.91, 11.73 and 40.39 mg ai/L, respectively. In this study spinosad and hexaflumuron were more useful than the other insecticides due to their higher toxicity to H. armigera and lower toxicity to H. hebetor.

Abstract

Habrobracon hebetor Say is one of the most important natural enemies of Helicoverpa armigera in iran. It has been reared and released to suppress of Heliothin population in cotton fields in the country. Effects of commonly used and potential new insecticides against the pest were assessed on the parasitoid. The effects of sublethal concentration (LC25) of profenofos, spinosad, thiodicarb and field recommended concentration of hexaflumuron were evaluated on demographical and biological parameters of H. hebetor. Adult females were exposed to LC25 values of the insecticides for 24 h. randomly selected 24 alive females were transferred individually to plastic Petri dishes and supplied with Anagasta kuehniella Zell. larvae to study the population parameters. The oviposition, hatching rate and number of offsprings were recorded daily until all females dead. Stable population parameters such as grass and net reproductive rates, intrinsic and finite rates of population increase, generation time and doubling time, also biological parameters such as fecundity, fertility and longevity were significantly and adversely affected by the insecticides. However, neither of insecticides significantly affected sex ratio of progeny. At all, hexaflumuron and spinosad had the lowest and highest adverse effects on population and biological parameters of H. hebetor between tested insecticides. Profenofos and thiodicarb had moderately toxic effects on parasitoid. Spinosad, a biorational pesticide, should be studied in field conditions, and need to be applied cautiously combined with the parasitoid.

Abstract: In this research, the effects of profenofos, thiodicarb, hexaflumuron and spinosad were studied on functional response of Habrobracon hebetor to different densities of last instar larvae of Anagasta kuehniella. Two day-old mated females were exposed to LC25 of the insecticides and distilled water as control. Host densities of 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 and 64 were offered to treated females wasps for 24 h in 10 cm petri dishes. Experiments were conducted in 8 replications and were carried out in controlled conditions, 26± 2°C, 70± 5% RH and 16:8 (L:D) h. The type of functional response was determined using logistic regression and the parameters, searching efficiency (a) and handling time (Th) were estimated by non-linear regression using SAS software. Functional response was type II in control and all of insecticide treatments. Searching efficiency in control and insecticide treatments were 0.0935, 0.0132, 0.0511, 0.0864 and 0.0905 h-1 and handling times were 0.4542, 1.0646, 0.5381, 0.5275 and 0.4896 h, respectively. The maximum attach rates (24/Th) were estimated 22, 52, 44, 45 and 49, respectively. Spinosad and hexaflumuron had the most and the lowest effect on searching efficiency of H. hebetor, respectively.

Somaye Sarmadi, Gadir Nouri Ganbalani, Hooshang Rafiee Dastjerdi, Mehdi Hassanpour (2008) Effect of some insecticides on population growth parameters of Habrobracon hebetor Say (Hym.: Braconidae) in adults treatment. Proceedings of 18th Iranian Plant Protection Congress. September 2008.

 

Abstract: Adverse effects of insecticides on natural enemies are investigated using demographic toxicological approach. In this research, the effect of field recommended doses of imidacloprid (350 SC), indoxacarb (15 SC), and deltamethrin (2.5 EC) (290, 125, and 83 ppm based on AI, respectively) were studied on stable population growth parameters of Habrobracon hebetor in adult stage treatment. The experiments were conducted at 26±1°C, 60±5% RH, and a photoperiod of 12:12 h.  Fifty, one-day-old females were treated using paper disc method for 24 h. Distilled water was used in control treatment. Females were transferred individually to 6 cm Petri dishes. One adult male was added to each Petri dish for mating. Three last instar larvae of Anagasta kuehniella were offered to each female daily as host. The numbers of eggs produced per female per day were counted until all of the females died. Stable population growth parameters were estimated using Carey's (1993) procedure. Gross reproductive rate (GRR) and net reproductive rate (R0) in control and insecticidal treatments were 206.31±13.38 and 73.46±5.5, 186.82±21.39 and 46.81±6.52, 164.71±14.47and 51.75±5.22, 102.39±9.84 and 19.95±2.56, respectively. Mean generation time (T) and doubling time (DT) were 21.22± 0.2 and 3.43±0.04, 22.49±0.32 and 4.07±0.13, 21.87±0.31 and 3.85±0.06, 22.41±0.36 and 5.21±0.2, respectively. Intrinsic rate of increase (rm) and finite rate of increase (λ) were estimated 0.2023±0.0025 and 1.2242±0.0031, 0.1706±0.0054 and 1.186±0.0064, 0.1802±0.0027 and 1.9746±0.0033, 0.1332±0.0052 and 1.1425±0.0059, respectively. Deltamethrin had the most adverse effect on stable population parameters of this wasp (P<0.05). There was no significant difference between indoxacarb and imidacloprid.

Proceedings of 18th Iranian Plant Protection Congress. September 2008.

Abstract: Different developmental stages of natural enemies may be exposed to pesticides in agricultural ecosystems. In this research, susceptibility of pupal stage of Habrobracon hebetor to filed recommended doses of imidacloprid, indoxacarb, and deltamethrin were studied. One hundred of each of 2, 4, and 7-day-old pupae were treated with 1 µl of insecticide solution (active ingredient and acetone as solvent) using topical method. The pupae in control treatment were treated with acetone. The treated pupae were kept in growth chamber at 26±1°C, 60±5% RH, and a photoperiod of 12:12 h until adults emerged. The number of emerged adult was recorded daily. There was significant difference between deltamethrin and other treatments (P<0.05) in two and four-day-old treated pupae followed by imidacloprid and indoxacarb. Percent adult emergence in above mentioned treatments and control were 36.57±0.05, 68.11±0.07, 86.13±0.07, 96.29±0.03, and 43.53±0.1, 76.8±0.04, 87.87±0.04, and 99.1±0.01%, respectively. There was significant difference between deltamethrin and other treatments (P<0.05) in four-day-old treated pupae, but no significant difference was detected between imidacloprid, indoxacarb and control treatments.  Percent adult emergence were 44.61±0.06, 88.53±0.04, 88.36±0.07, and 98.21±0.02%, respectively. If the same results are obtained in the filed conditions, these two compounds can be used along with the parasitoid in integrated pest management programs.

     ABSTRACT. Green lacewing, Chrysoperla carnea is one of the most important predators of early larval instars of many leidopterous pests such as Helicoverpa armigera. In this research, the biology and stable population growth parameters of this predator were studied on first instar larvae of H. armigera at 26±1°C, 70±5% RH , and a photoperiod of 16:8 (L:D) h. One hundred newly hatched larvae of predator were transferred individually to 6 cm Petri dishes and were fed on ample supply of 1st instar larvae of H. armigera daily. After emergence of adults, 30 pairs of males and females were selected and kept in pairs on artificial diet. Fecundity and survival of females were recorded daily until all of them were dead. Stable population growth parameters were then estimated using Carey's procedure. Mean developmental time of eggs, larvae and pupae and mean longevities of males and females were 3.70±0.05, 7.2±0.07, 7.12±0.05, 28.53±0.85, and 34.13±1.09 days, respectively. Survival and hatch rates and sex ratio (female/total) were determined 92, 92.33, and 52 %, respectively. Number of offspring per female per day was 23.2 ± 1.04, and mean preoviposition and oviposition periods were 3.3±0.11 and 27.5±1.1 days, respectively. The gross reproductive rate (GRR), net reproductive rate (R0), mean generation time (T), doubling time (DT), intrinsic rate of increase (rm) and finite rate of increase (λ) were estimated 429.3±24.96 (female/female/generation), 385.47±30.8 (female/female/generation), 28.95±0.36 (days), 3.31±0.05 (days), 0.2093±0.0029 (female/female/day), and 1.2329±0.0036 (per day), respectively. Referring to biological and reproductive potential of C. carnea in fed on 1st instar larvae of H. armigera, this predator may apply in integrated management programs of the pest in cotton fields

S.A.A. Fathi    G. Nouri-Ganbalani    H. Rafiee-Dastjerdi   

Abstract:
Empoasca decipiens Paoli (Hom.: Cicadellidae) has been causing damage in potato fields of Ardabil region in Iran. There has been an increasing interest in controlling of E. decipiens using resistant cultivars. The resistance of four commonly planted cultivars including Diamant, Agria, Casmos and Omidbakhsh to E. decipiens was compared using some life cycle parameters of this pest in greenhouse at 24±1°C, 50±5% RH and 16:8 h (L:D) photoperiod. Incubation period, development timeof1st, 2ndand 3rd instar larvae were not significantly different on the cultivars studied. Fourth and 5th instar larvae development time and female and male life span of E. decipiens decreased among the cultivars in the order of Diamant >Casmos >Omidbakhsh >Agria. The percentage of larval survival of E. decipiens on Diamant and Casmos were significantly lower than on Omidbakhsh and Agria. Sex ratio of E. decipiens on four cultivars was not significantly different. High correlation coefficients were observed between the density of simple and glandular trichomes with the percentage of larval survival, larval development time, female and male life span of E. decipiens. These results indicated that among the cultivars that were investigated, Diamant and Casmos were resistant and Omidbakhsh was tolerant to E. decipiens damage. The results of this study also confirmed that the density of glandular trichomes may have more affects on the life cycle of E. decipiens than the density of simple trichomes by restricting larvae and adult feeding. These results are useful in an integrated management program of E. decipiens in potato fields.
