Cabbage aphids cause significant yield losses to many crops of the family Brassicaceae, which includes the mustards and crucifers. It is important to have a comprehensive understanding of this pest and its associated control measures so that its spread and damage can be prevented.

In our studies phenological phases of cabbage aphids Brevicoryne brassicae (L.) were studied. The influence of external factors (humidity and temperature) was studied under laboratory conditions. The maximum reproductive ability of cabbage aphids was noted in spring and autumn. Some of the parthenogenetic aphids gave about 82 larvae. The daily reproductive ability of aphids was 3-5, and the maximum 5-11. When studying the reproductive ability of parthenogenetic aphids, this indicator was slightly lower than that of the wingless aphids (average 28, maximum 51). The overall development of cabbage aphid seeds averaged 7–9 days in summer and 12–21 days in early spring and autumn. The importance and bioecological features of Metamorphus corollae (F.), Episyrphus balteatus (De Geer, 1776), Syrphus vitripennis (Meigen, 1822), Scaeva pyrastri (L.) Coccinella septempunctata (L.) and Adonia variegata (G.), Chrysopa carnea Steph. with natural control of the cabbage aphid were studied. Studying the biological effectiveness of a simple golden-eyed fly in relation to the cabbage bug, efficiencies were observed at a ratio of II-year-old larvae of simple golden-eyed and cabbage bug in a ratio of 1:5 and 1:10. For 4 day old gold-eyed eggs, this efficiency was observed when the ratio with cabbage bug was 1:1 on the 17th day of the experiment.

Field screening of seven cultivars of cabbage namely: Green Crown, Green Top, Green Coronet, Pioneer, Nepa Round, Copenhagen Market and Golden Acre were carried out against cabbage butterfly (Pieris brassicae) and cabbage aphid (Brevicoryne brassicae) at the research farm of entomology section, Gokuleshwor Agriculture and Animal Science College, Baitadi in RCBD design from October 2017 to February 2018. Five plants were tagged randomly after transplanting in field excluding border plants in each plot. Data were collected for the population dynamics of cabbage butterfly larvae and cabbage aphid on weekly basis. None of the seven cultivars were found resistant to cabbage butterfly and cabbage aphid, however their population density varied on tested cultivars. Cabbage butterfly population was recorded the highest on the cultivar Pioneer (22.88 larvae/plant) and the lowest on the cultivar Copenhagen Market (10.06 larvae/plant), and other cultivars were of intermediate types. Similarly, the population density of aphid ranged from 36.70 to 105.58 aphids/leaf. The highest population density of aphid was recorded on cultivar Green Crown (105.58 aphids/leaf) and the lowest on cultivar Copenhagen Market (39.82 aphids/leaf. From the results, Copenhagen Market proved to be the best against both cabbage butterfly and cabbage aphids.

AbstractParasitized cabbage aphids, Brevicoryne brassicae (Linnaeus), produced fewer offspring than unparasitized aphids. Aphids parasitized by Diaeretiella rapae (M'Intosh) during the first, second, or third instar died before producing any offspring; those parasitized during the fourth instar or the adult stage produced a variable number of offspring. The aphid's survival time was correlated with the rate of development, as measured by the length of the pre-reproductive period. A multiple-linear-regression equation is provided for predicting the mean total fecundity of parasitized cabbage aphids from the host age at the beginning of parasitism and the pre-reproductive period.

Lipaphis erysimi (Kalt.) infestation on mustard account for significant yield losses in India. Experimental data from sixteen years were used to study the role of weather on the incidence and development of mustard aphid. Temperature was found to regulate the aphid population build-up and arrival . Weather parameters before one week from aphid population observation contribute higher effect than of the same date, two week prior and three week prior observation. In the present investigation regression equation between aphid incidence and using previous week’s weather data could be used for formulating the forecasting model for L. erysimi, and for taking control measures.

Brown rot, caused by Monilinia spp., is among the most important diseases in stone fruits, and some pome fruits (mainly apples). This disease is responsible for significant yield losses, particularly in stone fruits, when weather conditions favorable for disease development appear. To achieve future sustainable strategies to control brown rot on fruit, one potential approach will be to characterize genomic variation among Monilinia spp. to define, among others, the capacity to infect fruit in this genus. In the present work, we performed genomic and phylogenomic comparisons of five Monilinia species and inferred differences in numbers of secreted proteins, including CAZy proteins and other proteins important for virulence. Duplications specific to Monilinia were sparse and, overall, more genes have been lost than gained. Among Monilinia spp., low variability in the CAZome was observed. Interestingly, we identified several secondary metabolism clusters based on similarity to known clusters, and among them was a cluster with homology to pyriculol that could be responsible for the synthesis of chloromonilicin. Furthermore, we compared sequences of all strains available from NCBI of these species to assess their MAT loci and heterokaryon compatibility systems. Our comparative analyses provide the basis for future studies into understanding how these genomic differences underlie common or differential abilities to interact with the host plant.
