Conserved and Unique Putative Effectors Expressed in the Salivary Glands of Three Related Gall Midge Species
Species in the stem gall midge genus Mayetiola (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) cause serious damage to small grain crops. Among Mayetiola species are Hessian fly (Mayetiola destructor Say), barley midge (Mayetiola hordei Keiffer), ...
Antifeedant and larvicidal activities of Mentha pulegium on chickpea pod borer Helicoverpa armigera (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae).
This study investigates the insecticidal effect of the essential oil of Mentha pulegium L. on the second and third instar larvae of Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner). Antifeedant, contact toxicity and systemic toxicity of M. ...
First sources of resistance in faba bean (Vicia faba L.) to the stem borer weevil, Lixus algirus L. (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
Faba bean (Vicia faba L.) is a grain legume widely cultivated in many countries for food and animal
feed. The faba bean stem borer (Lixus algirus L.) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) is considered one of the
major biotic stresses ...
Identifying Genetic Linkage Groups and Markers for Leaf Miner Resistance in Chickpea through QTL Analysis and Field Validation
Chickpea is a commonly grown crop, but it is vulnerable to biotic and abiotic stresses. Leaf miner (Liriomyza cicerina) is a pest that can cause severe yield losses of up to 40% if not properly controlled. This study was ...
Analysing the impact of GLDC innovations for managing abiotic and biotic stresses in the agro-ecosystems
The study aims to identify the GLDC innovations adopted by chickpea and lentil farmers, and impacts of biotic and abiotic constraints on chickpea and lentil. Biotic (diseases and insect pests) survey was done from October ...
