Thermal Requirments And Life Tables Of Dicrodiplosis manihoti (Diptera, cecidomyiidae) As A predator Of Phenacoccus parvus (hemiptera, pseudococcidae)

Abstract

The journal of Toxicology and pest control is one of the series issued twice by the Egyptian Academic Journal of Biological Sciences, and is devoted to publication of original papers related to the interaction between insects and their environment. The goal of the journal is to advance the scientific understanding of mechanisms of toxicity. Emphasis will be placed on toxic effects observed at relevant exposures, which have direct impact on safety evaluation and risk assessment. The journal therefore welcomes papers on biology ranging from molecular and cell biology, biochemistry and physiology to ecology and environment, also systematics, microbiology, toxicology, hydrobiology, radiobiology and biotechnology. www.eajbs.eg.net Provided for non-commercial research and education use.

The effectiveness of some selected insecticides against cotton mealybug, Phenacoccus solenopsis Tinsley (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) and their non-targeted predators

“…[3] . The laboratory experiments were performed on the newly moulted 3 rd instar nymphs [2,3,9] . Ten reared laboratory 3 rd instar nymphs of P. solenopsis were released to a cotton leaf, placed in a culture Petri dish and ready for the insecticidal applications.…”

Temperature Effect and Biological Aspects of Phenacoccus parvus Morrison (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae).

“…Temperature is a remarkable environmental factor affecting the rate of development, fecundity and the survival of an insect within a given environment (Lu et al, 2011). Studding this parameter is particularly interesting for economically important insects to attain a useful information for good forecasting and prediction system of insect population (Attia et al, 2015, Shehata, 2017. Heat unit systems quantify the thermal environment of organisms (Paul, 2013).…”
