Cotton Pest

This autobiography documents the life and accomplishments of Li Liying. Born into a poor family in China, she eventually became director of Guangdong Entomological Institute. After graduating middle school (1949), she was admitted to the Agronomy Faculty at Beijing Agricultural University but was shortly after redirected by the Chinese Government to Timiryazev Agricultural Academy, Moscow, Russia. The last year of her study at Timiryazev Agricultural Academy was a pivotal experience. She had the opportunity to conduct fieldwork on cotton pest control and became aware of the harmful practice of aerially spraying highly toxic organophosphates with workers present. She decided to dedicate herself to finding safer alternatives and became a leader in the development of mass-rearing techniques for insects beneficial to agriculture. She traveled to laboratories in several foreign countries to foster collaboration and exchange of ideas among colleagues. She is recognized for her service to entomological societies, teaching at universities, and love of entomology.

Field research was conducted in Arkansas to determine the effect of selected rice pesticides on the microbial herbicideColletotrichum gloeosporioides(Penz.) Sacc. f. sp.aeschynomene(henceforth designated C.g.a.) and to integrate C.g.a. into control programs for northern jointvetch [Aeschynomene virginica(L.) B.S.P. # AESVI] in rice (Oryza sativaL.). Water suspensions of dry-formulated spores of C.g.a. at 1.9 × 1011spores/ha were applied midseason in sequence with normal use rates of other pesticides. Carbofuran (2,3-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl-7-benzofuranyl methyl-carbamate) at 0.56 kg ai/ha, propanil (3’4’-dichloropropio-anilide) at 2.2 kg ai/ha, acifluorfen {5-[2-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy]-2-nitrobenzoic acid} at 0.14 kg ai/ha, or fentin hydroxide (triphenyltin hydroxide) at 0.56 kg ai/ha did not reduce disease development of C.g.a. on northern jointvetch. Sequential applications of benomyl [methyl 1-(butylcarbamoyl)-2-benzimidazolecarbamate] at 0.56 kg ai/ha reduced activity of the fungus on northern jointvetch when fungicide applications began 1 week after C.g.a. application but had no effect on mycoherbicide activity when applications began 2 weeks after C.g.a.

The Relationship

AbstractThe relationship between posttreatment temperatures of 15°, 20°, 25°, and 30°C and toxicity of six pesticides to adult female Phytoseiulus persimilis Athias-Henriot and Tetranychus urticae Koch were studied in the laboratory.The toxicities of cyhexatin, dicofol, propargite, citrazon, chlorobenzilate, and per-methrin were positively correlated with temperature. Except for propargite and permefhrin, P. persimilis was less susceptible than T. urticae at 15° and 20°C, but equal in susceptibility at 25° and 30°C.The results obtained may indicate a potential value of posttreatment temperature manipulation as a useful adjunct to integrated pest control programs in glasshouses.
