“…Apart from morphology, the plants also differ in terms of metabolites (Wang et al) [40] . These metabolites play a key role in affecting outbreaks, biological and reproductive parameters, and survival rate of a polyphagous pest such as P. solenopsis, that combinedly determine the suitability of the host plant for an insect pest (El Aalaoui and Sbaghi) [8] . The cotton mealy bug feeds over 154 species of plants however with varying preference levels (Arif et al) [1] .…”

“…A plenty of studies are available on host preferences for cotton mealy bug P. solenospsis for different host plants viz., Cotton (Gossypium spp. ), Chinese hibiscus (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis L.), potato (Solanum tuberosum L.), ornamental plants and weeds, are the most suitable hosts for P. solenopsis (Ma et al ) [43,4,8,32,5] . It is well proven in the literature that plant nutrients and chemical contents, as well as the phytochemicals produced in response to pest damage bring variations in insect life histories on different hosts plants (Goussain et [12,29,18,35] .…”

“…The cotton mealy bug Phenacoccus solenopsis Tinsley (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) is one the most destructive sucking pest of cotton, okra, brinjal, tomato, legumes, ornamentals, etc. It was reported firstly from New Mexico, USA in 1992 (El Aalaoui and Sbaghi) [8] and further expanded its boundaries to Africa, Europe, North and South America, Australia, Asia, Oceania, Mediterranean basin, Canary-islands, and many middle eastern countries including Saudi Arabia (Zhou et al Fand and Suroshe; Gebregergis; Katbeh Bader and Al-Jboory; Ricupero et al El Aalaoui and Sbaghi) [42,9,10,17,28,8] . It inflicts direct as well as indirect damage to the crops, ultimately resulting into serious yield losses.…”

The cotton mealy bug Phenacoccus solenopsis Tinsley is sap sucking polyphagous pest over 154 plant species of vegetables, fruit and ornamentals including cotton in India and worldwide. Among vegetable plant species, brinjal (Solanum melongena L.), tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.), okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) etc., are severely damaged. Present studies were carried out to investigate the impact of these three host plant species on the life history of the mealybug in the laboratory. Age, stage specific and female fertility table data were used for this analysis. Okra has been found most suitable host among the tested plant species. Shortest development period (52 days), longest fertility period (21 days) and natality (163 eggs/female) were recorded on okra. In addition, highest values of intrinsic rate of increase (rm) (0.09569±0.002 day−1), the finite rate of increase (λ) (1.10±0.002 day−1), and net reproductive rates (R0) (38.60±2.35 offspring per individual) were also recorded on okra. On the other hand, the longest mean generation time (T) (48.95±2.88 days) and doubling time (DT) (11.55±1.25 days) were observed when P. solenopsis was reared on tomato. The tomato was the least preferred host for P. solenopsis. This variation in host preference can be utilized in predicting the dynamics of the P. solenopsis, and in determining the timing of pesticide application as well as release timing for natural enemies to achieve better control of this pest. Further, okra can be used as trap crop to facilitate effective management of this pest.

“…However, for biparental species, conventional age-specific life tables often omit the contribution of males and differentiation by stage [26]. To fill this gap, Chi and Liu [27], Chi [28] and Chi et al [29] developed the age-stage two-sex life table which has been successfully applied to study various ecological aspects of insect pests and their natural enemies [30][31][32].…”

Phenacoccus solenopsis Tinsley (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha: Pseudococcidae), the cotton mealybug, is an invasive polyphagous species that has been extending its geographic range, posing a conspicuous threat to many Mediterranean crops of economic importance. These include three species of Solanaceae, namely Solanum lycopersicum L. (tomato), Solanum tuberosum L. (potato) and Solanum melongena L. (eggplant) all of which are economically important worldwide. In this study, we used age-stage two-sex life tables to investigate the suitability of these three plant species as hosts for P. solenopsis and to calculate pestfitness, life history parameters and population projection parameters. All tested host plants that were suitable for the pest and eggplant host plant induced a higher fecundity (276.50 ± 10.78 eggs/female), net reproductive rate (R0) (243.32 ± 15.83 offspring/female) and finite rate of increase (λ) (1.18 ± 0.0043 day−1) and more extended adult longevity (males: 6.50 ± 0.34 day and females: 24.15 ± 0.50 days). Population growth predictions over a period of 90 days of infestation, commencing with an initial population of 10 eggs showed that adult population size was 674,551 on tomato, 826,717 on potato and 355,139 on eggplant. Our data on plant host preference of P. solenopsis will aid the development of appropriate management strategies and achieve successful control of this invasive pest in key Mediterranean crop systems.

Phenacoccus solenopsis Tinsley (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae), commonly known as the cotton mealybug, is a polyphagous pest causes significant economic losses worldwide. This study aimed to determine two-sex life table analysis of P. solenopsis on lettuce (Lactuca sativa), parsley (Petroselinum crispum), and rocket (Eruca sativa). Experiments were conducted under controlled conditions 26°C, 65 ± 10% relative humidity, and a 16:8 light-dark cycle. The results indicated that lettuce was more suitable for P. solenopsis development comparted to parsley and rocket. Total fecundity of P. solenopsis was recorded as 221.45, 158.00, and 121.64, on lettuce, parsley, and rocket respectively. In addition, ovipositon period of P. solenopsis was 14.00, 9.73, and 8.45 days on lettuce, parsley, and rocket respectively. The highest values of net reproductive rate (R0), intrinsic rate of increase (r), and finite rate of increase (λ) were obtained as 97.44 offspring female-1, 0.14 day-1, 1.16 day-1, respectively from lettuce in this present research. The results showed that lettuce was the better host plant for P. soleneopsis than parsley and rocket. However, further studies should be done about host plant pest interactions to provide successful control measures against P. solenopsis.
