This study seeks to identify solutions to this general problem by evaluating the efficacy ofcommon household items as barriers to deter ants from infesting cat food. Fifteen products were evaluated fordeterring the ants. Trials using boards with an array of the products were used to identify those successfulin deterring the ants. Additionally, the effect of each of the successful items on the cat’s appetite wasassessed to identify any products that might reduce the cat’s appetite. The experiments revealed that onlythree products were completely successful in deterring the ants in all trials: ground cinnamon, turmeric, andbaby powder, of which the cinnamon and baby powder were observed to have less significant effects on thecat’s appetite than the turmeric. Furthermore, all three of the products remained effective throughout sevendays without reapplication. The findings in this study show that household products can be particularlyuseful to families who are traveling and leaving their cats alone at home, but they can also be used everyday in place of artificial ant deterrents. Overall, this paper should serve as a guide for pet owners on howto better protect their pet’s food from ant and other insect infestations using household products. This studyshould also serve as a foundation for additional research to be conducted regarding at-home pest control

This descriptive-cross sectional study was performed during 3 sampling sessions in three regions of Lenjan and Mobarakeh Counties from June to August in the southwest of Isfahan Province. Sampling was conducted using a standard 350 ml capacity mosquito dipper. The collected mosquitoes (3rd and 4th larval instars) were preserved in lactophenol solution. Then, they transferred to the entomology laboratory with the relevant specifications and special codes. Each larva was individually mounted in liquid iodophor solution on a microscope slide and were identified (based on larval morphological characters) using a morphological identification key. During this study, a total of 430 larvae including 4 species belonging to the Culex and Anopheles species were collected from paddy fields. The results showed that 11.1% of identified larvae belonged to the subfamily Anophelinae and 88.9% to the subfamily Culicinae. The frequency of each species was 81.2% of C. theileri, 6.5% of C. perexiguus, 1.2% of C. pipiens and 11.1% of A. maculipennis, respectively. During June, July and August, 65.3%, 23.5% and 11.2% of larvae were caught, respectively. Study showed that C. theileri is more abundant than other species of Culicidae family in the paddy fields in the southwest of Isfahan Province.

    查看更多>>摘要：? 2021,Journal of Entomological Research.All Rights ReservedThe aim of this study was to identify fruit fly’ species and assess their damages in citrus crops. In 2019, a trapping system based on the food attractant Torula associated with Dichlorvos, was set up in six citrus orchards situated in Houet and Kénédougou provinces. All traps were visited every 10 days to collect the fruit flies. In the same trapping period, citrus fruits were sampled and incubated in the laboratory to assess fruit fly’ damage. Thirteen species of fruit flies were trapped in citrus orchards. They belong to the genera Bactrocera, Ceratitis, Dacus, Perilampsis and Zeugodacus. Bactrocera dorsalis, Ceratitis cosyra and Ceratitis silvestrii were the most abundant species. Fluctuation of their populations showed the same configuration in all citrus orchards with peaks observed during the rainy season (May-August). Bactrocera dorsalis and C. cosyra emerged from the fruits of Citrus sinensis, Citrus limon, Citrus reticulata and Citrus × tangelo. Fruits of C. limon and C. sinensis were more infested with B. dorsalis at an attack rate of 3.39 and 13.71%, respectively. The severity of attack was 29.30 pupae/kg of C. limon infested fruits and 71.03 pupae/kg of C. sinensis infested fruits. No damages was observed during the dry season. Citrus fruits species serve as secondary host plants for fruit flies and should be taken into account in the development of sustainable management strategy of these pests in Burkina Faso.

    查看更多>>摘要：? 2021,Journal of Entomological Research.All Rights ReservedDuring three years (2017-2019), nine randomized block trials were conducted in apple orchards on two varieties (Golden Delicious and Royal gala). Five trials tested different doses of sorbitol (from 0.1 to 100 ppm), the other trials compared sorbitol with other sugars (fructose, sucrose) and investigated the possibility of combining sorbitol with a chemical treatment tested at the recommended and reduced dose. The results showed that the efficacy of the treatments (Abbott) was better with sorbitol at 100 ppm concentration on both varieties tested, and that the efficacy of sorbitol was higher than sucrose and close to fructose. The combination of 100 ppm sorbitol with insecticide offers a synergistic effect and greater efficacy gain than both insecticide alone and sorbitol alone, and that treatment with sorbitol combined with insecticide at the half dose is as effective as treatment with sorbitol combined with insecticide at the complete dose.

    查看更多>>摘要：? 2021,Journal of Entomological Research.All Rights ReservedThe abundance, infestation, and severity of aphid Lipaphis erysimi Kaltenbach (Hemiptera: Aphididae) were studied on Mustard Brassica napus Linnaeus variety BARI Sharisa 13, B. campestris Linnaeus varieties BARI Sharisa 14 and BARI Sharisa 15, and B. juncea Czem varieties BARI Sharisa 16 and BARI Sharisa 17. The study also investigated the relationship of the abundance of aphid with Mustard plant physiomorphic characteristics and the pestiferous effect of aphid on the Mustard varieties. The Mustard variety BARI Sharisa 13 revealed statistically the lowest abundance of aphid as well as its infestation and severity index. The growth stages of the studied Mustard varieties were found statistically different, and the variety BARI Sharisa 14 revealed the shortest duration for silique maturation. The abundances of aphid on the Mustard varieties exerted negative relationships with plant height, the number of branches, leaf and silique per plant, flower and silique per raceme, chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, protein, and pH contents; however, proline content depicted positive relationship. The infestation of aphid significantly reduced the morphological traits, phytochemicals, oil content, and yield of the Mustard varieties. Proline content was increased in all the tested varieties of Mustard. The BARI Sharisa 13 followed by BARI Sharisa 16, resulted in the lowest reduction levels of the plant physiomorphic traits, yield, and oil content. These varieties can be promoted for cultivation in aphid prone areas and used to develop resistant cultivars against this pest through the breeding process.

The larval feeding potential, larval to pupal stage, mortality, adult emergence, and adult feeding potential were observed. The tests revealed 1st - 4th instar larvae of Coccinella septempunctata passed through the 4th instar larvae in all predator hosts. The maximum average feeding rate of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th instar larvae of Mustard aphid were 5.87 ± 0.96, 9.27 ± 0.34, 12.06 ± 0.32 and 12.07 ± 3.15, respectively, which were similar to those of Akk aphid 3.60 ± 0.19, 7.80 ± 0.30, 9.33 ± 0.53 and 7.06 ± 2.95. The maximum mean durations of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th instar larvae were 2.55 ± 0.33, 3.01 ± 0.13, 3.59 ± 0.37 and 4.30 ± 0.84 days, respectively. Similarly, the total survival time of larvae of C. septempunctata to Mustard aphid 13.45 ± 1.76 days and Akk aphid 11.23 ± 2.86 days. The pupal duration of Mustard aphid was 4.37 ± 0.49 days and Akk aphid 3.11 ± 0.33 days, respectively. Ladybird larvae collected from various hosts had a natural mortality rate of 2.15 ± 2.51 on Mustard, and Akk was 5.25 ± 2.50%. The male emergence rate was 50.01% and the female emergence rate was 50% on Mustard aphid. Similarly, 41.66% of male and 58.33% of female recorded on Akk. The data further showed that the occurrence rate of female adults was higher than that of male adults. The maximum feeding consumption of male was on Mustard 76.17 ± 3.67, and that of Akk aphid was 76.17 ± 3.67. Female adults survived on Mustard aphid (32 days) and Akk aphid (27 days).

All Rights Reserved.Larvae of pink bollworm, Pectinophora gossypiella (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) were reared on four diets (two natural diets and two artificial diets) with varied nutritional value. Larval diet affects the survival, development duration, pupal weight, adult emergence and fecundity. PBW attained the fastest larval development on NRD (19.8 days) with a survival rate of 88.2% and slowest on NPD and okra (~27.1 days) with a survival rate of 47.5 and 58.1% respectively. Pupal weight was highest (26.86 mg) on NRD and reached maximum fecundity (107 eggs/female), while lowest fecundity on NPD (37 eggs/female). Among natural diets, egg hatching rate on cotton and okra were 87 and 71%. Adult emergence starts early and the adult eclosion window was narrow on cotton and NRD. Adult longevity was varied with diets, while female moths lived longer than males in all diet treatments.

    查看更多>>摘要：? 2021,Journal of Entomological Research. All Rights Reserved.This study was aimed at assessing the lethal and sublethal effects and repellency of three essential oils (Fenugreek, Fennel, and Pepper) and nano gel chitosan on two stored pests in the lab and store. The Callosobruchus spp. were susceptible to tested essential oils causing mortality accumulative than nano gel chitosan. The highest repellency recorded in the case of Pepper on two pests. Mostly a complete inhibition of beetle’s emergence (zero %) was recorded in the case of Pepper on tested insects at 30 days intervals under store conditions. The percentages of beetle’s emergence during storage periods after treatment with essential oils were considerably lower than in the respective control up to 120 days of storage. Study revealed that the tested essential oils demonstrate the potential in protecting pea seeds against Callosobruchus spp. invasion than nano gel chitosan during storage. This technology is cheap, safe, environmentally friendly easy to adopt by small-scale farmers.

    查看更多>>摘要：? 2021,Journal of Entomological Research. All Rights Reserved.Experiments were conducted to find out the effectiveness of some biological alternatives (mineral oils and inorganic salts) alone and mixed with pesticides against the fourth larval instar of the red palm weevil Rhcynhophorus ferrugineus (RPW) under laboratory conditions. The larvae were subjected to compulsory feeding on the treated apple fruits with different concentrations (1%, 3%, 5%, 7.5% and 10%) of the tested compounds. The results showed that in the case of forced feeding of red palm weevil larvae R. ferrugineus (RPW) on apple fruits, which were injected with concentrations of 7.5 and 10% of the inorganic salts solution, the treated larvae died in percentages between 20 and 24%. The treatment with mineral oil,caused larval mortality ranged from 80 to 96%. While the treatment with the insecticide (Cydial L), led to larval deaths in percentages ranging between 92 and 100%. As for the compulsory feeding of RPW larvae on the apple fruits treated with the binary mixture (salts + oil) at concentrations of 7.5 and 10%, it caused larval mortality percentages ranging between 64 and 76%. The binary mixture (salts + pesticide), it resulted in mortality of the treated larvae, with percentages ranging from 64 to 88%. The larvae that fed on apple fruits treated with the binary mixture (oil + pesticide) were killed in proportions ranging from 92 to 100%. In the case of forced feeding of red palm weevil larvae (4th instar) on injected apples at a concentration of 7.5 and 10% of the triple mixture (salts + oil + insecticide), the larval mortality rates were 88 and 100% respectively, compared to the control group. The triple mixture of the tested materials with a concentration of 10% is the best against RPW larvae followed by a concentration of 7.5% of the same mixture.

    查看更多>>摘要：? 2021,Journal of Entomological Research.All Rights ReservedDifferent sample sizes were used for resistance detection and documentation for random and systematic sampling plans while Tetranychus urticae adult females were either randomly or patchily distributed in a semi-field experiment. Arenas were created for random and patchy dispersion, and 10% and 20% resistance frequencies. A sample size of 50 detected resistance, i.e., detected at least one (> 1) propargite-resistant adult female mite present at a resistance frequency of approximately 10% and above. Small sample sizes, for example 50, were unpredictable either underestimated or overestimated the resistance frequency and, therefore, should not be used to document resistance frequency as high as 10%. This study confirmed that larger sample sizes are required to correctly document resistance frequency, when resistant individuals were patchily distributed and a systematic sampling plan was used. A simple random sampling plan with sample sizes previously recommended is suggested for insecticide resistance detection and subsequent documentation in fields
