Comparative toxicity of different chemical and biological insecticides against the scale insect Dactylopius opuntiae and their side effects on the predator Cryptolaemus montrouzieri
The contact toxicity of various chemical and biological pesticides for the first and second instar nymphs and adults of the Opuntia cochineal scale insect Dactylopius opuntiae and the predator ladybird Cryptolaemus ...
Selection of new high yield potential bread wheat lines resistant to Hessian fly, Mayetiola destructor (Say), in Morocco
Wheat (Triticum sp.) is the main staple food of the Moroccan population. However, the
crop is attacked by several pests and diseases. Hessian fly is the most serious pest, causing
an average yield loss of 30% yearly. In ...
New Record and Predatory Activity of Hyperaspis Campestris (Herbst 1783) (Coleoptera : Coccinellidae) on Dactylopius Opuntiae (HEMIPTERA: DACTYLOPIIDAE) in Morocco
The Opuntia cochineal scale Dactylopius opuntiae (Cockerell) (Hemiptera: Dacty lopiidae) causes severe damage to prickly pear (Opuntia sp.). This cochineal was first detected in Morocco in fall 2014 during sampling in the ...
Comparative Biology and Life Cycle of The Barley Stem Gall Midge and Hessian fly (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) in Morocco
The barley stem gall midge, Mayetiola hordei (Keiffer) is the most serious pest of barley in
Morocco. The biology and life cycle of this insect were studied in a laboratory and under
natural weather conditions. The results ...
Detection of genetic diversity in Moroccan durum wheat accessions using agro-morphological traits and microsatellite markers
Characterization of germplasm by agro-morphological, biochemical and DNA-markers provide powerful tools to precise germplasm identification, quantify the genetic diversity and to estimate the phylogenetic relationship among ...
Hyperpredation of local adults ladybirds on the eggs of Cryptolaemus montrouzieri a potential predator of carmine cactus cochineal Dactylopius opuntiae in Morocco
The mealybug destroyer Cryptolaemus montrouzieri has been introduced in many countries for biological control of mealybug species, recently the ladybeetle was tested on the biocontrol efficiency of Dactylopius opuntiae in ...
First study of the biology of Cryptolaemus montrouzieri and its potential to feed on the mealybug Dactylopius opuntiae (Hemiptera: Dactylopiidae) under laboratory conditions in Morocco
Dactylopius opuntiae, is known as specific Opuntia cochineal in many countries around the world. This sap-sucking insect was first detected in Morocco in 2014. To address the problem, the feeding potential of different ...
Evaluating the cost and gain from genetic resistance to Hessian fly (Mayetiola destructor (say)) in durum wheat in Morocco using recombinant inbred lines
Durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. var. durum) is an important food crop in the
Mediterranean region. Hessian fly is the most important insect pest of wheat in the dry land
areas in Morocco. Breeding wheat for genetic ...
Comparison of genetic diversity at prolamin loci in Moroccan durum wheat accessions
Morocco is characterized by its tremendous diversity at all levels for various species, including several crop species, such as durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. var. durum). The precise identification and characterization ...
Etude des dégâts qualitatifs et quantitatifs dus aux Bruches sur les légumineuses au Maroc
Les pertes qualitatives et quantitatives des légumineuses en post-récoltes demeurent un important souci des agriculteurs au Maroc. Les ravageurs de stockage sont l’un des facteurs les plus destructifs des stocks de ...
