Fumigant activity of 34 commercial essential oils was assessed on female adults and eggs of twospotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae) at three temperatures (5, 15, and 25 degrees C). Common thyme, cinnamon, and lemongrass oils were equally effective on twospotted spider mite adults showing 85.8-100% mortality at 5 and 10 microl/liter air at 25 degrees C. At a lower temperature of 15 degrees C, lemongrass and peppermint resulted in > or =90% mortality of adults at 10 microl/liter air. Only lemongrass was relatively active at 5 microl/liter air, at 15 degrees C. At 5 degrees C, lemongrass and peppermint caused significantly higher adult mortality than controls but only at 10 microl/liter air. Common thyme oil showed the highest ovicidal activity at 5 microl/liter air at 25 degrees C. Among the main components of common thyme and lemongrass oils, citral was lethal to twospotted spider mite adults at all tested temperatures. Carvacrol, thymol, and citral caused the same inhibitory effects on the hatch of twospotted spider mite eggs at 25 degrees C. However, citral was more active than other compounds to twospotted spider mite eggs at 15 degrees C. Therefore, we conclude that citral has the best potential for development as a fumigant against twospotted spider mite on agricultural products harvested late in the growing season. 相似文献

Overwintering mite diversity and their habitats were studied in apple and pear orchards during 2002-2003 winter season. Twospotted spider mite was mostly found under the tree barks and fabric strips. European red mites were from crevices of twigs. Tydeid, tarsonemid and oribatid mites were mostly from soil and ground vegetation. Even in the protected overwintering habitat such as artificial fabric strip, twospotted spider mite suffered 81-91% mortality during winter. Predaceous phytoseiid mites found were Amblyseius womersleyi, A. makuwa, A. orientalis, A. rademacheri A. obtuserellus, and A. eharai. Amblyseius womersleyi was the most dominant species in both apple and pear orchards, followed by A. obtuserrellus in apple orchards and A. makuwa in pear orchards. Most phytoseiid mites were found on ground vegetation while their potential prey items were remained on the tree. Implication of the findings for conservation of beneficial mites and biological control of spider mite during season was further discussed. 相似文献

The estimation of dinitro- o -cresol in winter washes consisting of petroleum oil, the cresol and emulsifier, must first involve the separation of the cresol from the other constituents present. A method applicable to the cases of emulsions compounded with various types of emulsiner failed when sulphite lye was present, and this was shown to be due to the action on the cresol of reducing sugars in alkaline solution. Avoiding an alkaline extraction until these interfering substances had been effectively removed led to an alternative method by which it was possible to separate D.N.C. in this type of emulsion.
The results obtained demonstrate that the methods described are satisfactory for the routine estimation of D.N.C. in petroleum oil/D.N.C. emulsions. 相似文献

According to the coevolution hypothesis the red autumn leaves of certain tree species are a warning signal towards insects that lay their eggs on the trees. A recent study has shown that red leaves are common in wild varieties of apple (Malus pumila) but not in cultivated varieties. This suggests that autumn colors have been lost during domestication due to relaxed selection against insects. The few varieties with red leaves have small fruits, similar to their wild ancestors, which shows that they have been under less effective artificial selection. As expected by the coevolution hypothesis these red varieties are very susceptible to an insect-borne disease, fire blight. Here I report further data on the loss of autumn colors under domestication. Since red leaf color is correlated with red fruit flesh color, if red fruit flesh has more astringent taste it is possible that loss of autumn colors is not only due to relaxed selection against insect, but also to direct artificial selection against astringent taste. However even varieties with yellow flesh turn out to have astringent taste. Moreover, while red fruit flesh is common in cultivated varieties with red leaves, it is very rare in wild varieties. It is unclear, therefore, whether loss of autumn color under domestication was a byproduct of artificial selection against red fruit flesh.Key words: coevolution, autumn colors, signaling, apple, Malus pumila, domestication, artificial selection, germplasm 相似文献

The ovicidal effects of heat and various chemical disinfectants on an oxyurid rat nematode Syphacia muris were investigated, using the hatching methods in artificial intestinal juice. The eggs were collected from the perianal skin of spontaneously infected rats by means of a piece of transparent adhesive tapes, and these eggs were treated with each disinfectant for two hours. It was found that 70% ethanol and 80 degrees C 30 min treatments killed almost all of the eggs. However, a small number of the eggs tested was killed by 0.02% chlorhexidine digluconate or 0.05% benzethonium chloride. Alcide, 3% saponated cresol solution, 50% isopropanol, 10 ppm sodium hypochlorite and 5 ppm iodophol had some effects against the eggs, but they didn't kill the eggs completely. A biological assay through infection of the eggs to rats might be necessary because the effects of 2% formalin on the eggs were not determined by the hatching methods. 相似文献

Responses of the apple maggot fly,Rhagoletis pomonella (Walsh), to 8 cm red sticky sphere traps, baited with the synthetic fruit odor butyl hexanoate, were investigated in field-caged
apple trees containing green or red Gravenstein apples. Trap capture rate and the probability of oviposition in apples before
capture generally increased with female age and number of mature eggs in ovaries. Two days of pre-test exposure of mature
females to red hawthorns, green Red Delicious apples or green Gravenstein apples had no significant effect on the likelihood
of a fly finding a red sphere. However, before capture on a sphere or departing a tree, hawthorn-exposed females found significantly
fewer apples and laid significantly fewer eggs than females exposed to Gravenstein apples. Variation in duration of pre-test
exposure (1–4 days) of flies to Gravenstein apples had no detectable influence on female response to apples or to a red sphere
in a test tree. The relevance of these findings to effectiveness of sphere traps, forR. pomonella control in commercial orchards is discussed. 相似文献

The tea red spider mite, Oligonychus coffeae Nietner (Tetranychidae), is an economically important pest of agricultural and ornamental crops and considered one of the major pests of tea plants in North-east India. In view of increasing resistance recorded in insect and mite pests against pesticides, a study was conducted to determine the acaricidal, antiovipositional, repellent and ovicidal activities of clove oil (an essential oil from the clove plant, Syzygium aromaticum L. Merr. & Perry: Myrtaceae) against tea-red-spider-mite. Mortality of O. coffeae varied with the concentrations and the duration of exposure time of the mites after application of oil. Rate of deposition of eggs by mites on treated leaf surfaces as well as the viability rate of eggs decreased significantly. In addition, certain concentrations of clove oil have been proved effective against adult mites. 相似文献

Functional response of Euseius finlandicus and Amblyseius andersoni to Panonychus ulmi on apple and peach leaves in the laboratory 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The functional response of adult females of the predatory mites Euseius (Amblyseius) finlandicus and Amblyseius andersoni to larvae and adult females of the fruit tree red spider mite Panonychus ulmi was determined on apple and peach leaf disks in the laboratory at 25°C and 16:8 (L:D). For adult females of P. ulmi the predation efficiency of E. finlandicus was higher on peach than on apple, whereas that of A. andersoni was higher on apple than on peach. Efficiency of predation on larvae of P. ulmi by either predator did not differ significantly between apple and peach. On both plants, A. andersoni had a higher predation rate than E. finlandicus on larvae of P. ulmi. It is concluded that in the laboratory the host plant has a substantial effect on predation efficiency of A. andersoni and E. finlandicus when they preyed on adults but not when they preyed on larvae of P. ulmi. 相似文献

Effects of infestation with fruit tree red spider mite, Panonychus ulmi (Koch), on the growth and cropping of young fruit trees 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
When Brompton plum, and M. IV and Crab C apple rootstocks grown in pots were inoculated with fruit tree red spider mites (Panonychus ulmi (Koch)), shoot extension was decreased by 7–17%, the dry weight of the new shoot by 21–32%, and the dry weight increments of old stem and roots by 12–30%, and 7–50%, respectively, compared with control plants sprayed with the acaricide tetradifon. Some of these effects were found in a field experiment with Brompton plum, but not with potted M. I apple rootstocks. Infestation of fruiting Lord Lambourne apple trees, also in pots, had little effect on vegetative growth but in one experiment modified fruit setting, and decreased the dry-matter content, but increased the seed content of harvested fruit. Lighter inoculation caused no damage to Brompton plum. Spraying inoculated Brompton plum rootstocks with tetradifon + TEPP in mid-June and mid-July prevented damage, and though August sprays did not prevent damage to the new shoot, the decreases in dry weight increments of old stem and roots were only 9–13% and 11–19%, respectively, compared with 21–25% and 45–50% in infested, unsprayed plants. 相似文献

To determine the condition for diapause induction of a Korean population of Neoseiulus womersleyi, combinations of constant temperatures (14, 16, 18, 20 and 25 °C) and photoperiods (0, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 and 24 h photophase) were used from egg to adult emergence. Diapause induction was determined by reproductive cessation of adult females. Lower temperature and shorter photophase resulted in higher diapause induction. Critical photophases for diapause induction were 10 and 12 h at 18 and 16 °C, respectively. Diapause-induced N. womersleyi adult females consumed significantly fewer eggs of the two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae, than non-induced females. Field monitoring of N. womersleyi showed that there was no egg-bearing female after 282 Julian date, while a model estimated complete diapause induction at 288 Julian date. Diapause of this predatory mite occurred approximately 2 weeks before diapause of its main prey, T. urticae, in Korean apple orchards. Further study perspectives are discussed relative to the spider mite biological control system in fruit orchards. 相似文献

The codling moth, Cydia pomonella (L.), and oriental fruit moth, Grapholita molesta (Busck), are two key pests of apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) in North Carolina. Growers extensively relied on organophosphate insecticides, primarily azinphosmethyl, for > 40 yr to manage these pests. Because of organophosphate resistance development and regulatory actions, growers are transitioning to management programs that use new, reduced-risk, and OP-replacement insecticides. This study evaluated the toxicity of a diversity of replacement insecticides to eggs, larvae, and adults, as well as an assessment of their residual activity, to codling moth and oriental fruit moth. Laboratory-susceptible strains of both species were used for all bioassays. Fresh field-harvested apples were used as a media for assessing the ovicidal activity of insecticides. For larval studies, insecticides were topically applied to the surface of lima bean-based diet, onto which neonates were placed. Toxicity was based on two measures of mortality; 5-d mortality and development to adult stage. Ovicidal bioassays showed that oriental fruit moth eggs were generally more tolerant than codling moth eggs to insecticides, with novaluron, acetamiprid, and azinphoshmethyl having the highest levels of toxicity to eggs of both species. In contrast, codling moth larvae generally were more tolerant than oriental fruit moth to most insecticides. Methoxyfenozide and pyriproxyfen were the only insecticides with lower LC50 values against codling moth than oriental fruit moth neonates. Moreover, a number of insecticides, particularly the IGRs methoxyfenozide and novaluron, the anthranilic diamide chlorantriliprole, and the spinosyn spinetoram, provided equal or longer residual activity against codling moth compared with azinphosmethyl in field studies. Results are discussed in relation to their use in devising field use patterns of insecticides and for insecticide resistance monitoring programs. 相似文献

The mullein bug, Campylomma verbasci (Meyer-Dür) (Hemiptera: Miridae), exploits both plant and animal resources. The aim of this study was (1) to evaluate the quality of different plant, animal and mixed diets (i.e. plant material or prey from the overwintering host, the summer host or the laboratory rearing) for the development and survival of mullein bug, and (2) to evaluate if the suitability of the resource changes according to the nymphal instar of C. verbasci. Mullein bug nymphs were reared individually in Petri dishes containing different diets and observed daily until reaching adulthood or dying. The rearing diet (living potato aphids?+?potato leaf?+?Ephestia eggs?+?apple pollen) was a high-quality diet. The medium-quality diets were apple fruit?+?apple pollen, Ephestia eggs and Sitotroga eggs. The low-quality diets included mullein leaf, frozen aphids, living aphids?+?potato leaf and apple fruit?+?living aphids?+?potato leaf. Finally, the inappropriate diets (when no nymphs reached adulthood) were agar gel, apple fruit, apple pollen, apple leaf, potato leaf, frozen spider mites and frozen conspecifics. When comparing the value of the diets for different instars, living aphids?+?potato leaf was a high-quality diet for third instar. Apple pollen and frozen conspecifics were low-quality diets for third instar. ‘Red Delicious’ fruit was a high-quality diet for fifth instar and low-quality for third instar. ‘Honeycrisp’ fruit constituted an inappropriate diet whatever the instar. Thus, a whole mixed diet maximises development and survival of C. verbasci nymphs. 相似文献

The activity of clofentezine (3,6-bis(2-chlorophenyl)-1,2,4,5-tetrazine) against eggs, immature and adult stages of tetranychid mites has been examined under laboratory and field conditions. The compound has been shown to be active against the eggs and immature stages but does not kill the adults. Eggs become less susceptible to the compound as they mature, and this has been demonstrated both on laboratory cultures ofTetranychus and on the overwintering eggs ofPanonychus ulmi. Control of infestations ofP. ulmi on deciduous fruit is the combined result of direct ovicidal activity and residual activity against the early motile stages. 相似文献

Several insect growth inhibitors (IGIs) and regulators (IGRs) were tested in the laboratory for their ovicidal and larvicidal properties on the codling moth C. pomonella , by dipping apples in solutions of them. The IGIs which block chitin synthesis – diflubenzuron, hexaflumuron and teflubenzuron – were noticeably more effective against eggs than on newborn larvae with preventive ovicidal 50% lethality concentrations (LC50 ) values of approximately 0.6, 1.3 and 15 p.p.m., respectively, and larvicidal LC50 values of 104, 1208 and 204 p.p.m. Flufenoxuron, on the other hand, is almost as effective on larvae (LC50 : 9.9 p.p.m.) as on eggs (LC50 : 5.4 p.p.m.). Fenoxycarb, an IGR juvenile hormone analogue, acts as an excellent ovicidal product with an LC50 value of 0.05 p.p.m. Tebufenozide, an IGR ecdyson (moulting hormone) agonist, is exclusively larvicidal with an LC50 at 0.4 p.p.m. Methoxyfenozide, an IGR of the same family and currently being developed, acts as effectively on eggs as on larvae with ovicidal and larvicidal LC50 values of about 0.6 and 0.8 p.p.m., respectively. When ovicidal products are applied as a curative treatment on eggs less than 24 h old, their effectiveness is much lower than that obtained from preventive application. 相似文献

The synthesis of anthocyanin, the xanthophyll cycle, the antioxidant system and the production of active oxygen species (AOS) were compared between red and non‐red apple cultivars, in response to either long‐term sunlight exposure (high light intensity) during fruit development, or to exposure of bagged fruits to lower light intensity late in fruit development. During fruit development of red and non‐red apples, the xanthophyll cycle pool size decreased much more in red apple peel late in development. With accumulation of AOS induced by long‐term sunlight exposure, enhancement of the antioxidant system was found. However, this change became significantly lower in red apple than non‐red apple as fruit developed, which might serve to accelerate the anthocyanin synthesis in red apple peel. When, late in fruit development, bagged fruits were exposed to sunlight, the accumulation of AOS was lower in red apple peel than in non‐red peel. This could be due to the higher anthocyanin concentration in the red peels. Meanwhile, compared with that in non‐red cultivar, the xanthophyll cycle and the antioxidant system in red apple peel were protected first but then down‐regulated by its higher anthocyanin concentration during sunlight exposure. In conclusions, red and non‐red apples peel possess different photoprotective mechanisms under high light conditions. The relationship between anthocyanin synthesis and the xanthophyll cycle, and the antioxidant system, depends on the light conditions that fruit undergoes. 相似文献

The effectiveness of tebufenozide applied against the adult, egg, and larvae of codling moth, Cydia pomonella (L.), was evaluated. Significant reductions in fecundity and egg hatch occurred after 1-h and 24-h exposures of females and 24-h exposures of males-only to residues in plastic plates. A significant reduction in egg hatch was also found after a 1-h exposure of males. The ovicidal effects of tebufenozide in field trials did not significantly differ for eggs laid on residues or treated topically. Corrected egg mortality exceeded 95% for cohorts laid <130 degree-days after sprays were applied. Fecundity and egg hatch were measured after either a 24-h exposure of moths or a 10-d exposure of moths and eggs on apple trees. Significant reductions in both fecundity and fertility occurred compared with an untreated control up to 7 d in the 24-h assays and accounted for 60-70% fewer larvae produced per mated female. The mean numbers of larvae produced per mated female after the 10-d exposure were reduced 100-75% in assays started on day 0-21 after the spray application compared with the untreated control. Fecundity was significantly reduced for 7 d and egg hatch was reduced for the entire 21-d test period in these trials. Residues had a 14-d half-life on apple foliage. Residues applied to foliage or to foliage and fruit did not significantly increase the proportion of uninjured fruit compared with the untreated control in bioassays where neonates were placed on foliage 10 cm from fruit. However, the proportion of injured fruits with shallow stings versus deep entries was higher on the treated versus the untreated plants. Field applications of tebufenozide reduced fruit injury >90% when applied early during emergence. Plots treated after the beginning of egg hatch had a larger proportion of injured fruits with shallow larval feeding. 相似文献

Tetranychus urticae is a key pest of citrus in Spain, especially of clementine mandarin trees. The effects of this mite on fruit production were assessed in 24 clementine trees for three consecutive years. Trees were visited weekly and spider mite and phytoseiid mite populations and leaf flush patterns were estimated. At the end of the season, mandarins were harvested, weighed, and mite damage (scarring on the fruit) characterized. Negative relationships between spider mite density and yield (kg/tree) and fruit damage (% scarred fruit rind) were found. The multivariate regressions highlighted the key role of phytoseiid mites and leaf flush patterns, which were negatively related to fruit damage. The shortest sampling period that satisfactorily predicted fruit damage at harvest, extended from August to mid-October. For IPM purposes, an action threshold of 31.1 mites m?2 of symptomatic leaf was estimated. Taking into account spider mite dynamics, the economic threshold ranged from 10 to 15 mites m?2 of symptomatic leaf. When this threshold is exceeded growers would have a 1-week window to apply the control technologies against T. urticae of their choice. 相似文献

Aerial conidia of Beauveria bassiana in an emulsifiable formulation germinated by >95% after 24 h exposure to the regimes of 20, 25 and 30 degrees C with 51%, 74% and 95% RH. Ovicidal activities of the formulation towards two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae, were assayed at the concentrations of 0, 18, 160 and 693 conidia mm(-2) sprayed separately onto fava bean leaves including 39 (25-76) eggs per capita. All the sprayed eggs on the leaves were directly exposed to the different regimes for hatch after 24 h maintenance in covered Petri dishes. Generally, hatched proportions increased over post-spray days and decreased with the elevated fungal concentrations; no more eggs hatched from day 9 or 10 onwards. Based on the counts of the hatched/non-hatched eggs in the different regimes, the final egg mortalities were 15.0-40.4%, 48.9-66.6% and 62.9-87.5% at the low, medium and high concentrations, respectively, but only 5.6-11.3% in blank controls. The RH effect on the fungal action was significant at 20 and 25 degrees C but not at 30 degrees C whereas the effect of temperature was significant at 51% and 74% RH but not at 95% RH. Probit analysis of the egg mortalities versus the fungal sprays generated median lethal concentrations (LC(50)) of 65-320 conidia mm(-2) at all the regimes, and of only 65-78 conidia mm(-2) at 25-30 degrees C with 74-95% RH. The results highlight ovicidal activities of the emulsifiable formulation against the mite species at the tested regimes and its potential use in spider mite control. 相似文献

A two-season study showed that a calendar-based spray program to manage arthropod pests with kaolin (60 g/liter) applied at the rate of 450 liters/ha was effective against European apple sawfly, Hoplocampa testudinea (Klug) (Hymenoptera: Tenthredinidae); white apple leafhopper, Typhlocyba pomaria McAtee (Homoptera: Cicadellidae); apple red bug, Lygidea mendax Reuter (Heteroptera: Miridae); pear plant bug, Lygocoris communis (Knight) (Heteroptera: Miridae); and the apple rust mite, Aculus schlechtendali (Nalepa) (Acari: Eriophyidae). Although it reduced Curculionidae damage, the level of damage was still too high. It had no effect on apple maggot, Rhagoletis pomonella (Walsh) (Diptera: Tephritidae); codling moth, Cydia pomonella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae); and tarnished plant bug, Lygus lineolaris (Palisot de Beauvois) (Heteroptera: Miridae). Laboratory studies showed fewer gravid twospotted spider mites, Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae), and fewer eggs laid by these females. The study also showed no effect of kaolin on Neoseiulus fallacis (Garman) (Acari: Phytoseiidae). 相似文献
