The evolution of IPM was followed multiple ways around the world and reached beyond the confines of the plant protection science. Excessive use of chemicals in disease and pest management has caused environmental and health problems, loss of biodiversity, and human disorders. Pests and diseases are pushing the boundaries of their biology, etiology, ecology, and crop production. Improvised techniqu...... hiện toàn bộ
A Review of the Yield Losses in Graminaceous Crops Caused by Chilo spp.International Journal of Tropical Insect Science - Tập 11 - Trang 563-569 - 1990
K. V. Seshu Reddy, P. T. Walker
A review of the losses caused by various species of Chilo, methodologies adopted for the assessment of losses and information generated on the models for the effect of Chilo species on the yield of graminaceous crops is given.
Plant Species Diversity and Crop Pest ControlInternational Journal of Tropical Insect Science - Tập 6 - Trang 479-487 - 1985
C. W. Baliddawa
This paper reviews and analyses literature on the effect of plant species diversity on crop pests. It is observed that populations of several crop insect pest species are depressed under conditions of plant species diversity. The factors responsible for this depression are: parasites, predators, masking, camouflage, repellency, less colonization, resource concentration, unfavourable microclimate, ...... hiện toàn bộ
Influence of tomato/clover intercropping on the control of Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner)International Journal of Tropical Insect Science - Tập 40 - Trang 39-48 - 2019
Mahdi Kabiri Raeis Abad, Seyed Ali Asghar Fathi, Gadir Nouri-Ganbalani, Behnam Amiri-Besheli
Tomato plants, Solanum lycopersicum L., are often infested by the tomato fruit borer (TFB), Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner), in northern Iran. Persian clover, Trifolium resupinatum L., was selected as a companion plant in intercropping with tomato in our experiments, due to a key role in enhancing soil fertility and soil texture, attracting flower-visiting natural enemies by production of numerous f...... hiện toàn bộ
Nutritional composition of insect types most commonly consumed by the Olugboja Community of Ondo State, NigeriaInternational Journal of Tropical Insect Science - Tập 41 - Trang 2975-2982 - 2021
Temitope D. Awobusuyi, Muthulisi Siwela, Kirthee Pillay
Edible insects have a varied nutritional value and have been a part of the human diet since the early ages. Protein-energy malnutrition (PEM) remains a challenge, particularly in developing regions, because of prevalent poverty and food insecurity and the high prices of conventional animal protein sources. There is an urgent need to find alternative affordable sources of quality protein. This stud...... hiện toàn bộ
Studies on Induction of Larval Diapause in a Nigerian Strain of Plodia Interpunctella (Hubner) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae)International Journal of Tropical Insect Science - Tập 8 - Trang 317-322 - 1987
George N. Mbata
Laboratory studies were carried out to determine factors which induce larval diapause in a Nigerian strain of Plodia inter’punctella. Larvae reared at constant temperatures of 20 or 30°C did not enter diapause. However, 13.3 and 37.7% respectively of larvae reared for 8 or 12 days (third or fourth instars) at 30°C and then transferred to 20 C entered diapause. Larvae transferred to 20°C immediatel...... hiện toàn bộ
Evaluation of Juvenoid Insect Growth Regulators on Schistocerca AmericanaInternational Journal of Tropical Insect Science - Tập 12 - Trang 71-75 - 1991
William S. Bowers, Felix Ortego
Three aromatic juvenoids were evaluated for morphogenetic activity on Schistocerca americana. Fenoxycarb, the most active insect growth regulator examined, was found to induce a significant mortality in developing fifth stage nymphs and caused severe morphogenetic damage during ecdysis to the adult. Juvenoid treatments were also observed to increase the duration of the last nymphal stage and to in...... hiện toàn bộ
