“…During the development of aphids, the fat cells increase in size and lipid and waxy droplets start filling them. After that, the fat cells rupture and their contents are released into haemolymph (PONSEN, 1977). The cornicle region and cornicle cavity contain numerous fat cells and degenerated fat cells.…”

The results obtained are summarized as follows: (1) the active compounds of aphid's odour stimulated the syrphid females to deposit significantly higher percentages of eggs. These chemical compounds could be isolated by the solvent n-pentane. (2) Gas chromatography mass spectral analysis of n-pentane fractions of aphid's odour revealed the presence of several active peaks of hydrocarbon compounds. The active peaks ranged from docosane (Cz2) to octacosane (Cz8). Also, GC-mass spectral analysis of n-pentane fractions of the aphid-extract supernatant showed the same chain of hydrocarbon compounds which is present in the aphid odour.(3) Bioassay of the different cosane compounds showed that the different concentrations of tricosane, tetracosane, pentacosane and hexacosane have a kairomonal effect on the syrphid females and the second concentration of C23CII, C24CI1, C25CII and c 2 6 c I I stimulated the syrphid females to deposit a significantly higher percentage of eggs. While hexacosane (C2J was the most abundant hydrocarbon compound in aphid kairomone, tricosane (C2J was the most active hydrocarbon compound. (4) Bioassay of the different mixtures of cosane compounds showed that HCMI, HCM,, HCM,, HCM4, HCM5 and HCM, have a kairomonal effect on the syrphid females. The highest percentage of eggs was laid under the effect of the fourth mixture (HCM4) which contains tricosane (C,,), tetracosane (C24), pentacosane (C25), hexacosane (c26) and octacosane (C2*). (5) The chain of non-volatile hydrocarbon compounds of aphid-kairomone is secreted along with the cornicle secretion which contains volatile compounds. This kairomone stimulate the oviposition of syrphid females when it is received mechanically by the antennae. (6) The present study showed the importance of the different mixtures of cosane compounds as aphidkairomone. The use of aphid-kairomone could be promising in aphid biological control instead of the heavy use of insecticides.

“…Myzus persicae (Sulzer, Hemiptera: Aphididae) is polyphagous, highly cosmopolitan, and an efficient vector of plant viruses (van Emden and Harrington 2007). This insect overwinters in the egg stage on Prunus species, and when their host plants are over-populated and/or stressed, they begin producing alates (winged forms) to disperse and colonize new plants (Davis and Landis 1948;Ponsen 1977;Sorensen 2009;Sylvester 1954;Taylor 1908). The sexual forms are also alates and are formed in autumn temperatures wherever peaches or suitable host plants are available (Sorensen 2009;van Emden and Harrington 2007).…”

Many countries are utilizing reclaimed wastewater for agriculture as water demands due to drought, rising temperatures, and expanding human populations. Unfortunately, wastewater often contains biologically active, pseudopersistant pharmaceuticals, even after treatment. Runoff from agriculture and effluent from wastewater treatment plants also contribute high concentrations of pharmaceuticals to the environment. This study assessed the effects of common pharmaceuticals on an agricultural pest, the aphid Myzus persicae (Sulzer, Hemiptera: Aphididae). Second instar nymphs were transferred to bell peppers (Capsicum annuum) that were grown hydroponically. Treatment plants were spiked with contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) at environmentally relevant concentrations found in reclaimed wastewater. M. persicae displayed no differences in population growth or microbial community differences due to chemical treatments. Plants, however, displayed significant growth reduction in antibiotic and mixture treatments, specifically in wet root masses. Antibiotic treatment masses were significantly reduced in the total and root wet masses. Mixture treatments displayed an overall reduction in plant root wet mass. Our results suggest that the use of reclaimed wastewater for crop irrigation would not affect aphid populations, but could hinder or delay crop production.
