“…Moreover, the values of T opt estimated by Logan-6 (32.00°C) and Lactin-1 (31.84°C) appeared reasonable because the shortest developmental time was observed at 31°C. They are similar to those reported for Pyralidae species such as Elasmopalpus lignosellus for total development of immature stages (31.4°C) (Sandhu et al, 2010).…”

“…Temperature significantly affected the required developmental time and the survival of all immature stages, as found in other insects (Fantinou et al, 2003;Sandhu et al, 2010;Shang et al, 2012Shang et al, , 2013, and it accelerated development to a maximum rate at 31°C for each immature stage and the overall immature stages, after which the developmental rate decelerated and ceased at 37°C.…”

“…The linear equation could only model developmental rate within the temperature range of 9-28.5°C. At 30°C, the slope of the linear model becomes depressed and results in inaccurate simulations of developmental rates and thresholds at both ends of the temperature range (Arbab et al 2008;Sandhu et al 2010). This study has shown that the linear model was a good model for estimating the lower developmental threshold (4.4°C) at 9-28.5°C range of temperatures for S. lepidus.…”

“…The linear regression model estimated that embryo of S. lepidus required 238.10°DD to complete development with a lower developmental threshold of 4.38°C. The upper developmental threshold was not estimated by the linear model, because the fitted line did not intersect the x-axis at higher temperature (Sandhu et al 2010). The estimates of the fitted coefficients, measurable parameters, and evaluation indices for the nonlinear models are presented in Table 4.…”

The clover root weevil, Sitona lepidus Gyll. is a pest of clovers (Trifolium spp.), particularly white clover (T. repens). Larva feeding severely impairs the capacity of white clover to fix atmospheric nitrogen, by attacking the nitrogen-fixing root nodules. Development of the egg stage was studied at six different constant temperatures ranging from 9 to 30°C to improve the basis for phenological forecasts. Development occurred over the entire range of temperatures, although hatching percentage at 30°C was only 24.4% compared to 90.1% at 28.5°C. Developmental time decreased with increase in temperature from 9 to 28.5°C but increased markedly at 30°C. At 28.5°C, the embryo development period was the shortest (10.35 days); whereas at 9°C, this parameter was the longest (55.08 days). Using linear regression, the lower threshold temperature was calculated 4.38°C and the thermal constant was 236.45 degree-days. The relationship between constant temperature and developmental rate was evaluated using nine models. The suitability of the models was evaluated based on eight indicators (R 2 , RSS, R adj 2 , AIC, BIC, AICC, W j , and Z i ). Of the nonlinear models, the Logan-6, Sharpe and DeMichele, and Lactin models were the most accurate at calculating t opt of 27, 27.50, and 28°C, respectively. The results suggest that of the three models (Lactin, Briere, and Hilbert and Logan), that estimated critical temperatures, (t min , t opt , and t max ), Lactin gave the most suitable fit of data. This response of S. lepidus to temperature can be used for developing phonological models to predict the timing of egg hatch which are important for management programs targeting the weevil.

“…Larval feeding on primary, secondary, and tertiary sugarcane shoots results in dead heart symptoms and dead plants that can translate into reduced sugarcane and sugar yield at harvest (Sandhu et al 2010). Nonlethal damage is caused when larvae only chew a few millimeters into the shoot and becomes evident when the leaves push out to reveal one to several symmetrical rows of holes (Schaaf 1974, Carbonell 1978.…”

Effects of Elasmopalpus lignosellus (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) Damage on Sugarcane Yield

Feeding by lesser cornstalk borer, Elasmopalpus lignosellus (Zeller) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), larvae on sugarcane (a complex hybrid of Saccharum spp.) causes leaf damage, dead hearts, and dead plants that can result in stand and yield loss. A 2-yr greenhouse experiment was conducted to examine sugarcane variety and plant age-specific feeding responses to E. lignosellus. Plants growing from single-eye setts of three varieties were exposed to a single generation of E. lignosellus larvae beginning at the three-, five-, and seven-leaf stages. Results indicated that the physical damage and resulting yield loss of plants attacked by E. lignosellus larvae were dependent on the variety and leaf stage at which they were infested. Significantly more plant damage was observed in all three varieties when infested at the three- than at the seven-leaf stage. Larvae caused significantly more plant damage and reduced yield in CP 89-2143 than in CP 78-1628. Tiller production increased in CP78-1628 and CP 88-1762 when infested at the three-leaf stage, whereas tiller production, biomass and sugar yield decreased in CP 89-2143 when infested at all leaf stages, compared with the untreated control. There was no reduction in yield when CP 78-1628 was infested at the three- or five-leaf stages. Biomass was reduced in CP 88-1762 when plants were infested at any of the leaf stages, but sugar yield was reduced only when infested at the seven-leaf stage. These results indicate that compensation in response to E. lignosellus damage was variety dependent and declined with the delay in infestation time.
