However, the proportion of larvae killed in these events is often low and takes place later in the season after the crop has already sustained injury (Lewis and Cossentine, 1986). Antonyms for Melolontha. Coleoptera: Scarabpoidea. E. cloacae had 35, 56.7, and 84%; S. marcescens 50, 60.9, and 47.8%; P. aeruginosa 55, 69.6, and 48%; K. kristinae 40, 43.5, and 16%; and S. liquefaciens 45, 65.2, and 36% mortality rates on the larvae of D. micans, T. pityocampa, and L. dispar, respectively. in Belorussia. Other aboveground maize pests targeted with EPF include fall armyworm and adult corn rootworm. Final Annual Report – USGA Turfgrass Research Foundation, 458-466. This is because the larvae gorge themselves for over 3 years on the fresh rootlets of plants and trees. Experimental results on the control of cockchafer larvae (Melolontha melolontha L.) causing damage in hop gardens. This production was worth over $150 million with a per pound cost of all honey at 103 cents (National Agricultural Statistics Service). M.S. A.M. Koppenhöfer, S. Wu, in Microbial Control of Insect and Mite Pests, 2017. It is important to note that wireworm larvae feed directly on newly germinated maize seeds, a feeding niche that would bring them into direct contact with the treated seeds. Potential of the isolated bacteria on Thaumetopoea pityocampae larvae. Bulletin OILB/SROP, 19(2):74-78; 4 ref. 34-37. Keller S, Keller E, Auden JAL, 1986.

This chapter reviews various aspects regarding production, downstream processing, and formulation of mycoinsecticides, with an emphasis on entomopathogenic Hypocreales. 1979. The successful use of entomopathogens results in an alternative pest management for insect control. Revue Forestiere Francaise, 43(6):489-500. Richter G, 1964. 315-331 pp. On the polyphagous habits of the grubs of Melolontha melolontha L. on meadow and wasteland plants. 44 (pt. Development of the potential uses of Volaton in France.

Vienna, Austria: International Atomic Energy Agency, 313-331. Colonies which produced honey in more than one State were counted in each State where the honey was produced. Fr÷schle M, 1996. The genus Metarhizium has three important species, Metarhizium anisopliae, Metarhizium album, and Metarhizium flavoviride. Extensive reviews of the ecological factors that may impede the efficacy of fungal entomopathogens in the field are provided by Jaronski (2007, 2010). Bumble bees are also on the decline in many countries. The complex of measures for the control of cockchafers (Melolontha melolontha L., M. hippocastani F.). Cost of treating an infestation can reach almost 20% of produced honey value. This page was last edited on 31 May 2020, at 11:37. When several references are cited, they may give conflicting information on the status. Coleoptera. 373:41-42. A terrestrial biome. Among the non-spore-forming bacterial genera, the genus Serratia includes more effective entomopathogenic species (O'Callaghan et al. Keller S, Schweizer C, Keller E, Brenner H, 1997. Rast. Zeitschrift für Angewandte Entomologie, 86(2):167-174. The enzyme was initially called a chymoelastase because it possessed a chymotrypsin-like primary specificity for hydrophobic residues and also degraded elastin [1]. Shcherbakova LN, Orlovskaya EV, 1981. Paris, France: EPPO. Driver et al. Perju T, Salontai A, Tapalaga A, Cosma I, Zdrenghia V, 1986. Blaisinger P, Casanova M, Gentet C, Habert M, Pelletier L, Riffiod G, Robert PC, Varlet G, 1978. Sylwan. For example, B. bassiana can sometimes induce an epizootic in European corn borer. Neither the emulsifiable nor wettable powder formulation of B. bassiana (strain GHA) provided adequate control of southern masked chafer, Cyclocephala lurida, larvae in the field (Wu, 2013) or even in greenhouse pots with grass (Wu et al., 2014). The genus contains M. anisopliae which has a broad host range, as well as specialists, such as the locust-specific pathogen M. acridum. The cockchafers Melolontha melolontha L. (vulgaris Fabr.) No positive human benefit has yet been attributed to the common cockchafer. Eradication of white grub (Melolontha vulgaris F.) by the sterile-male technique. Edwards CA, Heath GW, 1964. Testing of pathogenic viruses for the control of the May bug. Raiser E, 1983. Additionally, B. bassiana was found to be a mortality factor of southwestern corn borer, Diatraea grandiosella, in maize fields in Texas (Knutson and Gilstrap, 1990). The forest and its enemies. Vagoiavirus gen. n., a virus causing disease in insects.
