AbstractDifferent plant species in the families Brassicaceae and Capparaceae were evaluated for their potential use in management of the root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita. Preliminary tests on host suitability were carried out for toxic effects on the nematode in small field plots of soil naturally infested with M. incognita. Afterwards, the best accessions and a susceptible tomato cultivar (UC82) were tested in pots to collect more complete observations of the nematode life cycle on the selected plant roots. Plants were cultivated in the glasshouse for 14–15 weeks and evaluated every 2 weeks. Root gall rating, population reproduction factor and life cycle duration showed wide differences amongst the different accessions and indicated two distinct approaches for control of M. incognita: catch crops or green manure. At 14–15 weeks after sowing, Rapistrum rugosum sel. ISCI 15, Eruca sativa cv. Nemat, Barbarea verna sel. ISCI 50 and Raphanus sativus cv. Boss were considered 'poor to nonhost' species; Brassica juncea sel. ISCI 99 was classified as 'maintenance host'; Lepidium campestre sel. ISCI 103 and Erucastrum gallicum were 'good hosts'. At 10 weeks after sowing, B. juncea sel. ISCI 20 was classified as a good host, so it could be grown for fewer than 8–10 weeks in a cropping system. The presence of galls and the identification of juveniles, females and egg masses, confirmed that second-stage juveniles had penetrated into the root of the tested accessions and completed their life cycle. However, in R. rugosum sel. ISCI 15, M. incognita did not complete its life cycle, even after 15 weeks.

The overall life cycle, duration and survival rate of different developmental stages (egg, larva and pupa) of Catopsilia pyranthe conducted at 27 ± 3°C and RH 75% ± 2. showed that within 6.4 days 68% eggs hatched. The average duration from egg to adult, larval stage and pupal were 23.87, 10.93 and 6.8 days, respectively. Fifty six out of 68 larvae successfully completed their whole 5 instars. There were positive correlation among the larval instars, amount of food consumption and excretion of faeces. About 52% pupa were emerged as adult at laboratory condition.

Investigation of the spatial-temporal variability of characteristics with alternative variation in females of taiga tick from three district of the Irkutsk Region showed all samplings to be phenotypically heterogenous. Based on these results estimated was L.A.Zhivotovsky criterion of identity between separate imago collections. Similarity index for geographically remote populations was about 0.9. This index was higher in intrapopulational groups collected from one territory in different seasons. The elucidated variability creates the basis for selection of morphologic tags of vector transmitting capacity and ticks life cycle duration and other questions of their biology investigation which includes usage of collection materials accumulated previously.

Ear development and ear growth were studied in the progeny of two crosses between a six-row and two two-row spring barley varieties. There were no differences in the rates of primordium initiation amongst the progenies and parents. Duration of ear initiation and ear growth varied amongst the genotypes, and there was a strong negative correlation between the duration of these phases. Duration of ear initiation was correlated with number of leaves, as was the length of life cycle from sowing to anthesis. Survival of spikelets was related to the number of spikelet primordia initiated. However, the proportion of spikelet primordia that survived to form grains was less in ears with most spikelet primordia. This may be due to competition for resources in the ear. It is suggested that optimal ear size and life-cycle duration may be achieved by breeding for appropriate durations of the component phases of the life cycle.

AbstractPalmistichus elaeisis Delvare and LaSalle, Tetrastichus howardi (Olliff), and Trichospilus diatraeae Cherian and Margabandhu (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) are promising candidates for the control of sugarcane borer, Diatraea saccharalis (Fabricius) (Lepidoptera: Crambidae). The fungi Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) Vuillemin (Cordycipitaceae) and Metarhizium anisopliae (Metchnikoff) Sorokin (Clavicipitaceae) also can be used to control sugarcane borers plus leafhoppers (Hemiptera: Cercopidae) in sugarcane. This observation motivated us to investigate whether entomopathogenic fungi can affect biological aspects of these parasitoids. Diatraea saccharalis pupae (24 hours in age) were exposed to parasitism by three females of each eulophid species for 72 hours and then placed in small tubes. A contact surface treated with 1 mL of fungal suspension was placed inside each tube with the parasitised pupae at concentrations of 1×109, 5×109, or 10×109 conidia mL−1 of M. anisopliae and B. bassiana. Exposure to fungi reduced emergence of adult P. elaeisis, but not of T. howardi and T. diatraeae. Life cycle duration, progeny, and sex ratio of P. elaeisis were not affected by exposure. Exposure was associated with decreased longevity for both sexes of T. howardi and in males of P. elaeisis, but not at levels expected to affect their performance as biocontrol agents. In general, the exposure of eulophid species developing in pupae of D. saccharalis exposed to entomopathogenic fungi, did not compromise the biological aspects of these parasitoids.
