Temperature effect on development time of the preadult parasitoid Eriborus argenteopilosus Cameron(Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) were studied to know development time, degree days and survival rate.Crocidolomia pavonana (Fabricius)(Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) larvae was exposed to E. argenteopilosus female andreared at four different temperatures i.e 160C, 200C, 250C and 300C. Data were analyzed using anova and linearregression to calculate degree day. At 200C E. argenteopilosus showed the highest degree day and survival rate(18.67 %), while at 300C nothing adult parasitoid emergenced. Degree day to development time of parasitoid attemperature 200C i.e fase egg-adult: 300.05; egg-pupae 173.35; pupae-adult 171.

ABSTRACT: Given the increasing importance of Elaphria agrotina (Guenée) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in corn crops, especially in the Brazilian Savannah biome, the present research aimed to study its development and survival on Greene’s and Poitout & Bues’s artificial diets (25±1°C, 70±10% relative humidity [RH] and 12h photophase). Poitout & Bues’s diet was more suitable than Greene’s diet, providing higher survival percent (77.51% vs. 5.57%), lower development time (49.81 days vs. 55.24 days) and higher fecundity (167.65 vs. 84.9 eggs), respectively. All the caterpillars reared on Poitout & Bues’s diet passed through six instars, while almost half of the larvae reared on Greene’s diet went through one less instar stage. Regarding the main reproductive parameters, higher average time of generation (T) and lower values of net rates of reproduction (Ro), and increased (rm) intrinsic and finite reason of increase (λ), were observed for larvae reared on Greene’s diet. Results presented in this study indicated that Poitout & Bues’s diet is more suitable for maintenance of colonies of E. agrotina as compared to Greene’s diet.

Au Sénégal, le chou est l’un des légumes les plus cultivés et consommés, de par son cycle relativement court (60-90 jours après repiquage) et sa possibilité d’être cultivé toute l’année. Cependant il est attaqué par plusieurs ravageurs tels que Plutella xylostella (L.) (Lepidoptera, Plutellidae), Hellula undalis (F.) (Lepidoptera, Pyralidae) et Spodoptera littoralis (B.) (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae). L’objectif de cette étude était de contribuer à la lutte contre ces ravageurs du chou en culture dans la zone des Niayes en utilisant les extraits aqueux à base de feuilles de Calotropis procera (Apocynaceae). L’étude a été menée sur 28 parcelles élémentaires dans la zone des Niayes (durant la période du 3 janvier au 22 mars 2019). Les formulations d’extrait de feuilles de C. procera utilisant comme solvant l’eau de robinet et l’eau de puits (ER et EP), appliquées à des temps différents le matin (ERM, EPM) et le soir (ERS, EPS) ont montré leurs efficacités sur les larves de P. xylostella et H. undalis. Par contre, les extraits ne sont pas efficaces sur S. littoralis (P-value= 0,672). En plus de leurs effets biocides, les extraits à base de feuilles de C. procera semblent accélérer la croissance des plants de chou. La nature du solvant et la période du traitement n’ont pas montré une différence significative.Mots clés : Biocide, Brassicassée, Niayes, lutte biologique English title: Aqueous extracts effect of Calotropis procera on the principal cabbage pests in culture in Senegal In Senegal, the cabbage is one of the most cultivated and consumed vegetables, from its relatively short cycle (60-90 days after road repair) and the possibility of being cultivated all the year. However it is attacked by several pests such as Plutella xylostella (L.) (Lepidoptera, Plutellidae), Hellula undalis (F.) (Lepidoptera, Pyralidae) and Spodoptera littoralis (B.) (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae). The objective of this study was to contribute on protect against cabbage pests in culture in the zone of Niayes by using the aqueous extracts containing sheets of Calotropis procera (Apocynaceae). The study was undertaken on 28 elementary pieces to in the zone of Niayes (during the period of January 3 at March 22, 2019). The formulations of extract using as solvent the water of tap and the water of well (ER and EP), applied to different times morning (ERM, EPM) and evening (ERS, EPS) showed their effectiveness on larvae of P. xylostella and H. undalis. On the other part S. littoralis was resistant to treatment (P=0,672) confirms it. In addition to their biocides effects, the extracts containing sheets of C procera seem accelerated the cabbage patches growth. The nature of solvent and the treatment period did not show a significant difference.Keywords: Biocide, Brassicasseae, Niayes, biological control

AbstractGrowth rate, diapause incidence, and diapause intensity were different in two strains of corn borers found in southwestern Ontario. Crosses between these two strains demonstrated that growth rate was female sex linked while diapause incidence was male sex linked. The effect of these two characteristics on hybridization is discussed.
