In Pakistan, the control of stored-product insect pests mainly relies on use phosphine gas along with other tactics. The aim this study was to determine level resistance among ten differently located populations lesser grain borer,
Abstract The objectives of this study were to quantify the virulence four entomopathogenic fungal species pupae Rhagoletis pomonella (Walsh) (Diptera: Tephritidae) and determine potential combine fungi (EPFs) nematodes (EPNs) for biological control pest. EPFs included Beauveria bassiana (strain GHA), Metarhizium brunneum F52), Isaria javanica (wf GA17), fumosorosea (Apopka 97 strain). In laboratory assays, all reduced adult emergence but there no differences between species. M. examined...
This is the first field study in which we have tested efficacy of four different entomopathogenic fungal (EPF) formulations together single study—i.e., Green Muscle, Guard, Metarhizium anisopliae, and an isolate Beauveria bassiana (isolate WG-11)—against nymphs adults desert locust, Schistocerca gregaria Forskål (Orthoptera: Acrididae). We conducted several studies: (a) lethal bioassay against 3rd, 5th, adult stages under laboratory conditions; (b) sublethal effects on reproduction, diet...
The peach fruit fly, Bactrocera zonata, and the Oriental B. dorsalis (Diptera: Tephritidae), are economically important fly species in various regions of world. We evaluated effects separate combined applications entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) Beauveria bassiana (WG-18) Metarhizium anisopliae (WG-02), nematodes (EPNs) Heterorhabditis bacteriophora (VS strain) Steinernema carpocapsae (ALL against larvae, pupae pharate adults, zonata under laboratory, glasshouse field cage conditions.Combined...

Abstract The apple maggot, Rhagoletis pomonella (Walsh) (Diptera: Tephritidae), is considered a key pest of apples and native to the eastern United States. virulence seven different species entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN) was assessed against pupae R. under laboratory conditions. Nematode strains included Steinernema carpocapsae (ALL strain), feltiae (SN riobrave (355 glaseri (VS Heterorhabditis bacteriophora indica (HOM1 megidis (UK211 strain). We conducted three bioassays: (i) short-term...
Abstract Maintenance of an aggregated population structure implies within-species communication. In mixed-species environments, species-specific aggregations may reduce interspecific competition and promote coexistence. We studied whether movement aggregation behavior three entomopathogenic nematode species changed when isolated, as compared to arenas. Movement Steinernema carpocapsae , S. feltiae glaseri were assessed in sand. Each demonstrated significant alone. Mixed-species trials...
Tobacco thrips, Frankliniella fusca (Hinds) is an economically significant pest. Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) have shown promise as biocontrol agents against certain thrips species, but they not been explored for suppression of F. fusca. We investigated the potential EPNs to manage by conducting three different bioassays: 1) a small cup dose-response bioassay (25, 50, and 100 IJs cm-2) with four EPN 2) broad virulence eight species at cm-2, 3) potted soil testing (100 cm-2). In...
Abstract Dirhinus giffardii is an efficient and aggressive pupal parasitoid of tephritid flies, including Bactrocera cucurbitae . Here we report on the various biological aspects , mainly host-age preference, potential as well survival this from pupae different ages its in vivo release against The emergence rate parasitoids was higher old than fresh pupae. Similarly, lifespan emerged older were those younger ones. reared significantly controlled melon fly infestation These findings suggest...
Fifteen different isolates of entomopathogenic fungi including Beauveria bassiana, B. brongniartii, Metarhizium anisopliae and Purpureocillium lilacinum were tested for their effectiveness against developmental stages red palm weevil R. ferrugineus.After 21 days exposure, bassiana (WG-23 WG-25) caused 100% mortality in larvae while only WG-25 resulted ferrugineus adults.Furthermore, reduced egg hatching up to 81.49% at 1 × 10 8 conidia ml -1 .
Spodoptera litura is serious pest of many horticultural and agricultural crops. S. can cause severe economic loss crops like cotton, cabbage okra. Different methods are adopted to control this notorious insect throughout the globe but biological one them that proved best against it. In 2019, current study was conducted check toxicity Bacillus thuringiensis on 2nd larval instars under laboratory conditions by using different hosts. Mortality data recorded at 24, 48 72 hours post treatment....
