“…This is not surprising, because monoterpenoids very often act as insect growth regulators. Doses of certain essential oils or their components that are too low to kill insects can still induce genotoxic effects and trigger various types of malformations (Halder et al 2012 ; Karr and Coats 1988 ). For example, Argemone mexicana L. (Papaveraceae) extracts reduced adult emergence and increased pupal mortality in S. litura (Malarvannan et al 2008 ).…”

Effects of halolactones with strong feeding-deterrent activity on the growth and development of larvae of the lesser mealworm, Alphitobius diaperinus (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae)

et al. 2016

The effects of dietary applied of β-damascone and its synthetic derivatives γ- and δ-halolactones, which show strong antifeedant activity, on the growth and development of larvae of the lesser mealworm, Alphitobius diaperinus Panzer (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae), were studied. Bioassays were performed in a dose-dependent manner. In the bioassays, oat flakes treated with 1.0, 0.5, and 0.1 % (w/v) acetone solutions of the tested compound or acetone alone as control were served as food. The experiments were conducted using 2-week-old larvae with an average body weight of 4.35–4.88 mg. High correlations between antifeedant activity and larvicidal and growth-inhibitory effects were observed. Larvae reared on diets containing the compounds (at a concentration of 1 %) with high deterrent activity were characterized by a prolonged period of development, lower body weight gain, and strong tendency for cannibalism as a result of starvation. The control larvae ended their development after 24 days with a mean body weight of 22.9 mg. At the same developmental time, the mean body weights of larvae treated with the δ-halolactones γ-chloro- and γ-bromo-δ-lactone were only 60.3 % and 43.2 % of that of the control larvae. The larval periods for larvae on the diets containing γ-chloro- and γ-bromo-δ-lactone were 33 and 41 days, respectively. The larval developmental time and body weight gain were not significantly influenced by lower doses of the compounds, with the exception of γ-bromo-δ-lactone. This compound, when applied at a concentration of 0.5 %, significantly prolonged larval development as compared to the control larvae, and caused high mortality of larvae and pupae. The adult emergence percentage was 37.51 % when this treatment was applied, as compared to 90.0 % in the control. Thus, β-damascone derivatives with a lactone ring exhibit both dose-dependent behavioral effects and post-ingestion toxicity against A. diaperinus larvae, and may have the potential to control this pest.

“…40 Apart from interacting with insect chemoreceptors of taste, preparations of antifeeding activity may inhibit the fertility of insects, prolong their larval development, or inhibit the transmission of some viruses. 41,42 According to literature data, biological methods constitute only a small fraction of plant protection management. One reason is that there have been no effective biological methods of crop protection developed, especially concerning control of diseases and pests of cereals and plants of the families Fabaceae and Brassicaceae, which are essential for the production of organic food.…”

Xanthohumol (14) and isoxanthohumol (6) derived from hop (Humulus lupulus L., Cannabaceae) and selected chalcone and chromene derivatives, obtained by chemical synthesis, were studied for antifeedant activity against the peach-potato aphid (Myzus persicae [Sulz.]). The study used also commercially available 4-chromanone (1), flavanone (4), naringenin (5), chromone (7), flavone (8), 7-aminoflavone (9), trans-chalcone (10), and 4-methoxychalcone (12). For chromone derivatives it was observed that the presence of a phenyl substituent at C-2 in the chromone (7) skeleton increased the insect antifeedant activity, and this activity was observed for a longer time. Also, the introduction of an amino group at C-7 of flavone (8) considerably increased the insect antifeedant activity, which was observed for the whole test time. Among the compounds examined, the strongest deterrents were isoxanthohumol (6), 7-methoxy-2,2-dimethylchroman-4-one (3), 7-aminoflavone (9), and 4-ethyl-4'-methoxychalcone (13).

“…Farmers of this region often used to apply around 5-7 rounds of synthetic insecticides to control this oligophagous pest. This practices have led to many fold problems like resistance to insecticides, resurgence of target insects and secondary pest outbreak in addition to insecticide residues in food and beverages, contamination of groundwater, adverse effect on human health, and wide spread killing of non-target organisms (Halder et al, 2012(Halder et al, , 2013(Halder et al, and 2014.…”

Effect of weather parameters on sporadic incidence of cucumber moth, Diaphania indica (Saunders) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) in bitter gourd ecosystem

et al. 2017

The field experiments were carried out to study the population fluctuation of Cucumber moth, Diaphania indica in bitter gourd and its relationship with different weather variables during Kharif seasons of 2014 and 2015 in Varanasi region. Weekly data on larval population of D. indica on bitter gourd were taken through simple random sampling whereas different abiotic parameters were obtained from the meteorological observatory of the institute. The results revealed that the D. indica population commencedfrom 31st SMW. The maximum population was recorded during 38th SMW (in 2014), during 39th SMW (in 2015). During September in both the years. The maximum, minimum and mean temperature, growing degree day, heliothermal unit and evaporation rate showed significant positive correlations with this sporadic pest where as a negative correlation was established with relative humidity, rainfall and wind velocity. A weather based prediction model has also been developed with different weather indices and pest incidence using weekly average value.
