Review of research on the biological influences of Phenacoccus solenopsis feeding on different plants and cotton cultivars
Phenacoccus solenopsis polyphagous pest,has a wide host range and strong adaptability.It was found in many countries and regions around the world,causing serious harm to agricultural production.Through research analysis of literatures about P.solenopsis on different host plants,we could find suitable and unsuitable host plants,to adjust farming way timely,and make reasonable rotation,to prevent the pest from spreading;and these results further made clear the research direction of P.solenopsis in the future.Research results on the morphological,reproductive characteristics,resistance and control of P.solenopsis were reviewed by collecting and analyzing the related literatures.And we analyzed comprehensively the changes of P.solenopsis on developmental duration,longevity and fecundity changes in cotton cultivars.Followed by Fuso and cotton,Solanum tuberosum and Ambrosia artemisiifolia are very conducive to the proliferation of mealybug.By analyzing ten varieties of cotton,we found that CCRI59 had better resistance to P.solenopsis,and Bt cotton RCH-134 didn't have resistance.Morphological study of P.solenopsis is more comprehensive,and molecular genetics,biological control and Insect-resistant breeding study to P.solenopsis will be the important research fields in the future.
