First report of Chrysodeixis includens (Walker, [1858]) (Lepidotera: Noctuidae) Injurious to Pineapple (Ananas comosus L.) (Bromeliaceae) in Brazil

Biotic Potential and Life Tables of Chrysodeixis includens (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), Rachiplusia nu, and Trichoplusia ni on Soybean and Forage Turnip

“…This study showed that the three species of Plusiinae were able to develop and successfully reproduce using soybean or forage turnip as host plants, thus sharing a typical trend of polyphagous species (Hensley et al 1964; Canerday and Arant 1966; Lafontaine and Poole 1991; Pastrana 2004; Specht et al 2006, 2015; Wagner et al 2011; Barrionuevo et al 2012; Baldin et al 2014; Luz et al 2014; Barrionuevo and San Blás 2015; Detoni et al 2018). Moreover, BP estimated for the three species was above 10 21 per year, higher than the values estimated for other insect pest species such as Agrotis , Anicla , Helicoverpa , and Spodoptera (Specht et al 2008, 2013; Montezano et al 2013, 2014, 2015; Silva et al 2018a,b).…”

“…Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner, 1809) populations rearing on citrus and corn had lower reproductive parameters compared with those rearing on cotton (Silva et al 2018a). In addition, the high degree of polyphagia of these insect pest species (Specht et al 2015) and the high suitability of host plants considered alternative or not common such as cowpea, sweetpotato (Moonga and Davis 2016), castor bean (Baldin et al 2014), and pineapple (Detoni et al 2018) should also be taken into consideration. A wide variation in reproductive parameters was also observed in studies with populations of C. includens (Moonga and Davis 2016), Spodoptera exigua (Hübner, 1808), and Spodoptera eridania (Stoll, 1782) rearing on different host plants (Parra et al 1977, Greenberg et al 2001).…”

“…In crop rotations, polyphagous insects may benefit from using both crop species as host plants. Loopers (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae, Plusiinae) are an important group in this scenario because many of these species feed on a wide variety of crop species (Shorey et al 1962, Biezanko et al 1974, Boldt et al 1975, Herzog 1980, Bercellini and Malacalza 1994, Pastrana 2004, Bentancourt and Scatoni 2006, Bueno et al 2011, Moscardi et al 2012, Specht et al 2015, Santos et al 2017, Detoni et al 2018). The looper complex in soybean is composed of Argyrogramma verruca (Fabricius, 1794), Autoplusia egena (Guenée, 1852), Chrysodeixis includens (Walker, [1858]), Ctenoplusia oxygramma (Geyer, 1832), Enigmogramma admonens (Walker, [1858]), Rachiplusia nu (Guenée, 1852), and Trichoplusia ni (Hübner, [1803]) (Eichlin and Cunningham 1978, Herzog 1980, Lafontaine and Poole 1991, Specht et al 2007, Formentini et al 2015).…”

Genome-Wide Identification and Characterization of Xyloglucan Endotransglycosylase/Hydrolase in Ananas comosus during Development

“…Pineapple ( Ananas comosus ), a member of the Bromeliaceae family, is cultivated widely in tropical and subtropical regions and is renowned for its nutritional and medicinal values [1]. Given its status as a herbaceous perennial monocotyledon with classical crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM), the pineapple genome was sequenced in 2015 as a model plant [2].…”

Genetic diversity in Chrysodeixis includens nucleopolyhedrovirus and factors involved in its generation

“…When compared to the damage caused in other crops, such as soybean, in which tolerates up to 15-35% loss of leaves (Bortolotto et al, 2015), lesions in pineapple fruits are critical. This is because of the "aesthetic damage" that make these fruits unsuitable for commercialization (Detoni et al, 2018). As such, a polyphagous pest like C. includens should be considered to be a pest of "production systems" rather than a pest of particular agricultural crops as has been catalogued for other lepidopteran pests (Ventura et al, 2015).…”
