Abstract

climate change on future potential distribution of Oriental fruit fly (OFF), Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel), a polyphagous pest on a wide variety of fruit crops in India. Prediction of the potential distribution of OFF was done for different time-frames (2030, 2050, 2070 and 2090) under the A1B climate change scenario (CSIRO-Mk3.0, a global climate model) using CLIMEX software. The model predicted an overall gradual decrease in terms of area suitability for OFF in India by 2090 due to increase in various stress factors to the pest. In temperate regions of the north and northeastern parts, incidence of the pest may increase due to rise in temperature coupled with decrease in cold stress. In North India, the model predicts the regions of Jammu&Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Haryana and Punjab to be more climatically suitable for OFF by 2030 and there is an expected steady increase in suitability by 2050, 2070 and 2090. The CSIRO model for North East indicated that by 2090, Assam, Arunachal Pradesh and Manipur would become highly suitable for the pest. The projected range expansion in terms of area suitability was recorded up to 100 km in temperate regions. Central and western India are projected to become progressively less suitable by 2030, 2050 and totally unsuitable by 2090. In South India, there was a slight reduction in climatic suitability for OFF in terms of ecoclimatic index over timeframes 2030, 2050, 2070, 2090 as highly suitable, optimal, suitable and marginally suitable respectively. Regression analysis was carried out using growth index obtained from CLIMEX and pest trap counts. Additionally, field level validation of the model was carried out for selected locations.

Abstract

'Baits' are substances that attract, trap and kill pests. In horticultural practice, baits are used to trap insect pests, thereby diverting them from cultivated crops. An important insect pest that can be managed using baits is the fruit-piercing moth (FPM), Eudocima species. These frugivorous moths are distributed throughout India and inflict serious damage to a wide range of cultivated fruits. In southern India, pomegranate cultivation is escalating and so is the fruit damage caused by FPM. The damage by FPM alone sums up to 40% of the production, thus causing heavy loss to farmers. However, existing control measures are ineffective in reducing damage caused by the moths. In the present communication, we study the feeding preference of FPM to banana, guava, tomato and molasses in multiple and limited-choice field experiments. The results indicate that the moths are attracted to bait fruits, viz. banana, guava compared to the main crop, pomegranate. We conclude that using these aromatic fruits as baits, we can divert the moths from the main crop, which will serve as an economically viable control measure.

Abstract

Jamun, Syzygium cumini L. (Myrtaceae) is a common evergreen perennial fruit tree of tropical and subtropical regions. Being native to India and Myanmar, it is found throughout Southeast Asia and the Pacific regions^1,2. The tree bears annually, sweetish and sour, dark-purple berries that are much sought after for their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial and free-radical-scavenging properties³. The existing literature provides an exhaustive list of various insect pests (~78 species) that could infest S. cumini in India⁴. However, none of these studies reported seed borer, Anselmella kerrichi (Narayanan et al., 1958) (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) as an insect pest of jamun.

Abstract

Wilt, a devastating disease in pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) plantations causes complete death of young and old plants alike. This disease has become a threat to crop cultivation across the major pomegranate- growing countries like India, China, Iran and Greece, posing a potential crisis for farmers. Wilt-affected plants exhibit gradual yellowing, drying of leaves in a particular branch that spreads to others, leading to dieback and finally the infected plant dies within the next few weeks^1,2. Pioneering studies have revealed that this disease shows symptoms caused by many contributing biotic and abiotic factors. Several biotic factors like fungal pathogens (viz. Ceratocystis fimbriata, Fusarium spp., Macrophomina phaseolina, Phytophthora spp., Rhizoctonia bataticola, Rosellenia necatrix, Verticillium dahliae), insects (scolytid beetle, Xyleborus perforans (Wollaston)) and nematodes (ischolar_main-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita) were found to play a crucial role in disease progression³.

Abstract

The present study hypothesized that sequential ovipo-sition behaviour of mango leaf webber, Orthaga exvi-nacea in/near conspecific webs, affects the cohort composition within the web as well as web density in a particular tree, resulting in a multicohort composition of webs and gregarious webbing in the orchard. The active O. exvinacea webs contained mixed cohorts of developmental stages involving eggs, larvae (I–VII in-stars) and pupae (μ = 6.50, σ² = 55.23). Taylor’s pow-er law further supported the cohort variability with fluctuating b (aggregation index) across different age groups of webs, which explained heterogeneity within the web composition. Olfactometer assays and electro-antennogram studies further revealed significant dif-ferences in the response of gravid female to volatiles of different web categories. GC-EAD identified potent chemical cues, namely (E)-2-hexenal, (Z)-3-hexen-1-ol, (Z)-3-hexen-1-ol, formate, β-ocimene, β-linalool, alloocimene, cis-3-hexenyl iso-butyrate, cis-3-hexenyl-α-methylbutyrate, δ-octalactone, (+)-α-copaene, methyleugenol, trans caryophyllene, (–)-α-gurjunene, α-humulene, (+)-aromadendrene and ledene that elic-ited antennal response in O. exvinacea female moths. Thus, the results of this study indicate that O. exvina-cea moths oviposit in/near conspecific webs pointing to the existence of social facilitation in these moths.

Abstract

Olfaction, one of the most significant sensations influencing insect behaviour, has been an efficient target for pest management. In this study, we analysed the antennal transcriptome of the greater wax moth, Galleria mellonella L. which is a predominant honeybee pest and is now becoming a potential threat to the global honeybee industry. A de novo antennal RNA-sequence assembly resulted in 24,683 unigenes and identified 24 odorant-binding proteins, 62 odorant receptors, 4 ionotropic receptors and 2 sensory neuron membrane proteins. Additionally, seven antennal-binding proteins, six pheromone-binding proteins and seven general odorant-binding proteins were identified from G. mellonella. Phylogenetic analysis suggested majority of the genes be closely associated with orthologs from other lepidopteran species. The identification of candidate genes and functional annotation of the olfactory genes will facilitate future functional studies on chemoreception processes in this species and other lepidopterans. This study lays the groundwork for future research that might lead to cutting-edge approaches in pest management
