Little is known about how drought stress influences plant secondary metabolite accumulation and this affects defense against different aphids. We therefore cultivated Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) plants under well-watered, drought, water-logged conditions. Two aphid species were selected for study: the generalist Myzus persicae (Sulzer) crucifer specialist Brevicoryne brassicae (L.). Metabolite concentrations in phloem sap, which influence growth, changed particularly stress. Levels of sucrose...
Abstract Drought stress alters the chemical composition of plants, which can influence their tolerance to insect herbivory. To evaluate plant responses drought stress, broccoli, Brassica oleracea L. var. italica Plenck (Brassicaceae), was grown under well‐watered, drought, and water‐logged conditions. The glucosinolate (GS) levels performance two aphid species, specialist Brevicoryne brassicae (L.) generalist Myzus persicae (Sulzer) (both Hemiptera: Aphididae), in relation water conditions...
Abstract BACKGROUND The papaya mealybug, Paracoccus marginatus , is a highly polyphagous invasive pest that affects more than 200 plants, many of which are economic importance. We modelled the potential distribution P. using CLIMEX, process‐oriented, climate‐based niche model. combined this model with spatial data on irrigation and cropping patterns to increase real‐world applicability RESULTS resulting agreed known points for broad areas where has been reported, but no GPS were available....
Abstract Queensland fruit fly, Bactrocera tryoni (Froggatt), is the most significant pest of Australia’s $9 billion horticulture industry. The sterile insect technique (SIT) and cue-lure (a synthetic analogue raspberry ketone (RK))-based male annihilation (MAT) are two effective management tools against this pest. However, combining these approaches considered incompatible as MAT kills ‘wild’ males indiscriminately. In present study we tested effect pre-release feeding B. on RK their...
The Queensland fruit fly, Bactrocera tryoni (Froggatt) (Diptera, Tephritidae) is the most significant insect pest of Australian horticulture. controlled using a range tools including Sterile Insect Technique (SIT). Mass-rearing and irradiation pupae in SIT can reduce fitness quality released sterile insects. Studies have also showed reduced microbial gut diversity domesticated versus wild tephritids.Transmission electron microscopy confirmed presence bacterial isolates mid-gut mass-reared...
Abstract BACKGROUND Tephritid fruit flies are recognized as the most economically important insect pest group, causing significant losses to horticultural crops globally. The sterile technique (SIT) is used suppress or eradicate in many countries. provisioning of adult dietary olfactory supplementation pre‐release commonly improve mating performance male SIT. This study on a major species, Queensland fly, Bactrocera tryoni (Froggatt), focused improving by providing semiochemical, raspberry...
Rugose spiraling whitefly (RSW), Aleurodicus rugioperculatus Martin, a native pest of coconut in Central America, has recently been introduced to South-East Asia. Little is known about the spread RSW Bangladesh, effect this on plants, or full range its plant hosts. To fill knowledge gap, we conducted surveys across southern coastal producing region Bangladesh. Coconut damage from was high throughout all areas surveyed, and correlated with population density RSW. Areas, such as Khulna, which...
A field survey as well market on Papaya mealybug, Paracoccus marginatus (Williams and Granara de Willink) was conducted in different regions of Bangladesh to know the infestation level, economic loss, common management practices used by farmers control this insect. Field revealed that more than one third papaya plants were affected mealybug growers faced a great loss. Severe also found nurseries areas. Market indicated retailers difficulties sell infested fruit. Seven other recorded which...
Queensland fruit fly [Bactrocera tryoni (Froggatt), Diptera, Tephritidae] is the most devastating insect pest impacting Australian horticulture. The Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) an important component of tephritid management programs. However, mass-rearing and irradiation (to render insects sterile) may reduce fitness performance insect, including ability sterile males to successfully compete for wild females. Manipulation gut microbiome, supplementation with bacterial probiotics shows...
The laboratory experiment was conducted at the of Department Entomology, Bangladesh Agricultural University to determine effectiveness polythene band, predatory ladybird beetles (available species found in viz. Coccinella transversalis (F.), Micraspis discolor Menochilus sexmaculatus Cyclonida sanguinea, Adalia bipunctata, novemnotata and Illeis koebelei), four chemical insecticides three botanical oils controlling papaya mealybug, Paracoccus marginatus Williams Granara de Willink. were...
Abstract Sterile male Queensland fruit fly, Bactrocera tryoni (Froggatt), fed as immature adults on the plant compound raspberry ketone (RK), show a reduced attraction to cuelure, synthetic analogue of RK used an attractant in Male Annihilation Technique. We hypothesized RK-fed adult males cuelure may be consequence altered expression chemoreception genes. A Y-tube olfactometer assay with and RK-unfed sterile B. tested subsequent behavioural response cuelure. Behavioral assays confirmed...
The research work on the evaluation of yard long bean genotypes for resistance to legume pod borer, Maruca vitrata F. was carried out in two consecutive seasons viz., kharif 2015 and rabi 2015-16 randomized complete block design (RCBD) field Department Entomology, Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU), Mymensingh chemical analysis sugar, protein phenol were at Institute Nuclear Agriculture (BINA), Professor Mohammad Hossain Central Laboratory laboratory Biochemistry Molecularbiology,...
The brinjal shoot and fruit borer, Leucinodes orbonalis is one of the most serious pests crop in Bangladesh causes damage up to 90% yield loss. It very difficult control. An experiment was conducted at Entomology Field Laboratory, Department Entomology, Agricultural University (BAU), Mymensingh from December 2020 April 2021 on management Brinjal Shoot Fruit Borer (BSFB) using three colored exclusion nets, viz., white, blue, yellow, along with an untreated Brinjal, specifically Singnath...
Chitin synthesis inhibitors (CSIs) are potential inhibitory chemical compound that disrupt molting process by interfering chitin and kill insects before attaining maturity. In this study, some viz. Tacoma 40SC (Buprofezin), Heron 5EC (Lufenuron), Pyrifen 10.8EC (Pyriproxifen) Chitosan 75WP were tested against okra jassid, Amrasca biguttula (Ishida) to elucidate their effects in arresting body growth development. The nymphs of jassids exposed selected CSIs through different application...
