Book excerpt: The lesser cornstalk borer, Elosmopalpus lignosell us (Zeller), is an important pest of crops in Florida, causing considerable damage to corn, soybeans, peanuts, sugar cane, field peas, southern peas, and rye. The moth is widely distributed throughout the tropical and temperate regions of the New World, including the southern half of the United States from California to the Carol inas, north on the East Coast to Massachusetts, and south thru Central America and South America to Argentina, Chile, end Peru (Heinrich, 1956). Damage to crops in Florida occurs primarily in areas with muck or sandy soils (Strayer, J. R. ' 1968. Personal communication.). Luginbill and Ainslie (1917) and Lyle (1927) found that damage usually seems greater on thin sandy soils in South Carolina, Florida, and Mississippi. King et al. (1961) in Texcs reported damage is especially severe during drought periods. Leuck (1966) in Georgia reported larvae damage seedlings during drought and when late plantings are followed by hot dry periods. Wide-spread infestations have led to several insecticidal investigations. However, little is known about the moth's reproductive biology. Basic research in this area was facilitated by rearing the insect in the laboratory and examining the reproductive morphology with respect to structure and changes occurring when moths mated or aged. In addition the morphology of the tympanic organ is discussed. Behavioral studies included mating behavior and various factors which influenced this activity: cage conditions, additional females on male mating frequency, age, and male antennectomy. The longevity of virgin and mated moths, spermatophore passage patterns, and fecundity were studied, as well as time of oviposition. Lastly, the response of adults to sound was observed. The above information may facilitate studies on the effects of chemosterilants, antimetabolites, and predator and parasite relationships.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Field Crop Arthropod Pests of Economic Importance presents detailed descriptions of the biology and ecology of important arthropod pest of selected global field crops. Standard management options for insect pest control on crops include biological, non-chemical, and chemical approaches. However, because agricultural crops face a wide range of insect pests throughout the year, it can prove difficult to find a simple solution to insect pest control in many, if not most, cropping systems. A whole-farm or integrated pest management approach combines cultural, natural, and chemical controls to maintain insect pest populations below levels that cause economic damage to the crop. This practice requires accurate species identification and thorough knowledge of the biology and ecology of the target organism. Integration and effective use of various control components is often enhanced when the target organism is correctly identified, and its biology and ecology are known. This book provides a key resource toward that identification and understanding. Students and professionals in agronomy, insect detection and survey, and economic entomology will find the book a valuable learning aid and resource tool. Includes insect synonyms, common names, and geographic distribution Provides information on natural enemies Is thoroughly referenced for future research

Download or read book Natural Enemies of Insect Pests in Neotropical Agroecosystems written by Brígida Souza and published by Springer. This book was released on 2021-01-21 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to address the importance of natural enemies and functional diversity for biological control in Neotropical agroecosystems. Several aspects related to the conservation of natural enemies, such as vegetation design and climate change, are discussed in Part 1 and the bioecology of several insects groups used in biological control in Latin America is presented in Part 2. Part 3 is devoted to mass production of natural enemies while Part 4 describes how these insects have been used to control of pests in major crops, forests, pasture, weeds and plant diseases. Lastly, Part 5 reports Latin-American experiences of integration of biological in pest management programs.
