Trichogramma are tiny parasitic wasps that can be mass produced and used to control agricultural pests like corn borers. Their small size allows them to be easily reared in large numbers and released into crop fields. Any mass production of Trichogramma requires careful controls and procedures to maintain quality and maximize parasitization of target pest eggs.

Global trade and Invasive insects

Safeena Majeed

This document discusses the risks of invasive alien species spread through global trade. It defines key terms like invasive alien species, quarantine pest, and outlines the risk analysis process. It notes that increased global trade leads to more potential pathways and habitats for invasives. The effectiveness of existing regulatory systems is limited by low inspection rates. Many species in the Global Invasive Species Database have been introduced through trade and transport. Various international agreements and conventions address preventing invasive species spread, including the Convention on Biological Diversity and International Plant Protection Convention. Managing this threat requires strengthened policies and cooperation across many organizations.

The document discusses different sampling techniques used to estimate insect pest populations including absolute sampling methods like quadrat sampling and capture-recapture, relative sampling methods like line transect and catch per unit time, and population index methods involving measuring insect products and plant damage. It provides details on how each sampling technique is performed and important terminology related to sampling like population, sample size, and sampling unit. The goal of using these sampling methods is to determine the pest species, distribution, changes in population over time, and monitor pest levels to control populations and recommend management practices.

Sterile Insect Technique

sankar kavadana

The document discusses the Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) for controlling insect pest populations. It provides background on the history and development of SIT, including its initiation in the 1930s to control screwworm fly. SIT involves mass rearing insects, sterilizing males via radiation or chemicals, and releasing the sterile males to mate with wild females. This results in no offspring and population decline over time. Current SIT targets include various fly and mosquito species. Requirements for effective SIT implementation include methods for mass rearing, sterilization without affecting male competitiveness, and overwhelming the native population ratio with sterile insects. The technique has successfully eradicated several pests and provides a species-specific

Host seeking behaviour

Pramod Kulkarni

Predators and parasitoids go through several steps in host-seeking behaviour: host habitat location, host location within the habitat, host acceptance if suitable stimuli are present, and host suitability. Host habitat location involves cues like attractants that guide insects to areas likely containing hosts, while host location relies on senses like smell and touch to find hosts. Hosts can be rejected if too young/old, wrong size, diseased, or already parasitized. Even accepted hosts may not support development if nutritionally or physically unsuitable.

Use of pesticides in plant protection relation to bee keeping

Sam Higgin bottom institute of Agriculture,Technology & Sciences

The document discusses the relationship between pesticide use for plant protection and beekeeping. It provides background on beekeeping and lists several crops that rely heavily on bee pollination. Studies show that pesticides can directly kill bees through contact or ingestion and indirectly impact bees by reducing foraging activity and influencing bee behavior. Different classes of pesticides produce varying symptoms in bees. The toxicity of common pesticides to bees varies, with some like cypermethrin and permethrin being highly toxic and others like endosulfan being less toxic. Factors like formulation, application period and time influence the level of bee poisoning from pesticides.

Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) are beneficial soil-dwelling roundworms that parasitize and kill insect pests. They have two life stages - an infective juvenile stage that seeks out host insects, and an adult stage that reproduces inside the insect cadaver. EPNs carry symbiotic bacteria that produce toxins to quickly kill the insect host. EPNs have been mass produced and formulated for use in biological control of agricultural insect pests. Their host range, safety for plants and animals, and ability to control resistant insect pests make EPNs a promising alternative to chemical insecticides.

Genetic improvement of natural enemies

Khanika Pal

Genetic engineering can be used to improve the traits of beneficial insects used for biological control. Some traits that can be modified include host range, temperature tolerance, pesticide resistance, pathogen resistance, and reproductive abilities. Transposable elements and viral/bacterial vectors are tools used to transform insects. Genes from other species have been introduced to produce strains with improved traits. Similar techniques have been applied to entomopathogenic fungi, bacteria, nematodes, and viruses to enhance their efficacy against pests while reducing risks to the environment. Future work requires thorough evaluation of genetically modified organisms' ecological impacts.

Survey and sampling and forcasting

Ravi Yadav

Integrated Pest Management requires regular pest surveys, surveillance, and forecasting. Surveys involve collecting detailed pest population information in a given area at a particular time. Surveillance is an ongoing process to monitor pest populations and occurrences over time through methods like fixed plot surveys. This provides information on existing and new pest species, population levels, and damage. Forecasting predicts future pest infestation levels based on surveillance data and environmental factors, helping farmers time control measures appropriately. Proper pest surveys, surveillance, and forecasting are essential components of an effective IPM strategy.

Invasive pests in India

Gopi Anand

Invasive pest species have the potential to develop rapidly and spread in a new area to cause significant crop loss and can adversely affect food security. In India, a total of 25 species of invasive pests are recorded from 1889 to till date. Most of the invasive pests had an outbreak and destroyed the crops because they came into India without their natural enemies. Therefore, exploration should be made in the areas of origin of the pests or efforts should be made to search some effective natural enemies in the invaded area so that the pest population could be curtailed within Economic Threshold Level There is a need for interdisciplinary coordinated work among scientists, in identifying invaded organisms and in assessing their ecological problems, environmental concerns in different ecosystems, economic damage and sustainable management by prevention, eradication and control. Hence, it is necessary to know the recent invasive pests to protect the crops from economic loss.

Importance of ecology and different foraging theories

Aaliya Afroz

This document discusses foraging theory and different optimal foraging models. It introduces optimal foraging theory, which predicts that animals will evolve foraging strategies that maximize energy intake per unit time. The optimal foraging model builds on this by generating quantitative predictions of how animals maximize fitness. Models discussed include the optimal diet model, marginal value theorem, and patch departure rules. The marginal value theorem predicts that animals should leave a patch when the marginal intake rate drops below the average habitat rate. The document also discusses various foraging strategies insects use to optimize nectar and pollen collection, such as specialization, learning, and scent marking.

Ley farming involves rotating grass or legumes with grain crops to improve soil fertility. It is a dynamic system where various annual and perennial crops are grown in both long and short term rotations. This improves soil nitrogen content, organic matter, controls weeds, prevents erosion, and improves livestock efficiency. While it requires time and investment, ley farming systems are more profitable than continuous cropping due to reduced costs and improved soil quality over time.

Aaliya Afroz

This document discusses the process of pesticide residue analysis, which involves 4 main steps: 1) sampling the crop, 2) extracting the pesticide, 3) cleaning up the extract, and 4) analyzing the residue. It provides details on various techniques used for each step, including different extraction, clean-up, and analysis methods like gas chromatography, thin layer chromatography, and spectrophotometry. The goal of pesticide residue analysis is to accurately measure extremely small amounts of pesticides remaining in food after harvesting or storage.

Estimation of runoff by table method

Aaliya Afroz

This document describes the table method for estimating runoff. It involves using tables to determine peak runoff rates based on watershed characteristics like soil type, slope, and land cover. The tables are separated based on watershed shape - square, broad and short, or long and narrow. Users first determine the watershed characteristics score from Table 1, then find the peak discharge rate in the appropriate watershed shape table by matching the score and area. Two examples are provided to demonstrate calculating runoff rates using this method.

Insect behavior

Aaliya Afroz

Insect behavior can be innate or learned. Innate behaviors are genetically programmed and include reflexes, orientation behaviors like taxis, and fixed action patterns. Learned behaviors are acquired through experience and include habituation, classical conditioning, and instrumental learning. Insects exhibit a range of behaviors for locomotion, communication, reproduction, and responding to their environment.

Aaliya Afroz

Lac is a resinous secretion produced by lac insects for commercial purposes. The most commonly cultivated lac insect species is Kerria lacca. India is the largest producer of lac, with Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh being the chief producers. Lac insect biology and life cycle is described. Rearing of lac insects provides livelihoods while conserving forests. However, lac production faces constraints from natural enemies like predators, parasitoids and insect pests. Integrated pest management approaches like cultural, mechanical, biological and chemical methods are used to manage pests and increase lac yields.

Pesticides a threat to honey bees

Aaliya Afroz

This document discusses the threats that pesticides pose to honey bees. It notes that honey bees are essential pollinators for over 50 fruits and vegetables, providing a highly valuable ecosystem service worth $20-30 billion annually in the US. However, honey bee populations have been declining due to various stressors, including agricultural pesticides. Certain pesticides like neonicotinoids have been shown to impair honey bees' ability to return to hives and make them age faster. The document recommends best practices for pesticide application to reduce risks to bees, such as applying them at dusk to dawn when bees are not active. Joint efforts are needed between government, industry and other stakeholders to balance agricultural production and pollinator protection.

Role Of Diatomaceous Earth (DE) And Essential Oils in the management Of Store...

Aaliya Afroz

Diatomaceous earth and essential oils show potential for managing stored grain insect pests. Diatomaceous earth works through abrasion and absorption of the insect's cuticle and waxes. Its efficacy depends on factors like temperature, humidity, and insect life stage. Essential oils can have contact, fumigant, and ingestion toxicity. They impact insect physiology through effects on metabolism, development, and acetylcholinesterase inhibition. Both methods have lower mammalian toxicity than traditional pesticides and could provide more sustainable alternatives.

Phenomics assisted breeding in crop improvement

IshaGoswami9

As the population is increasing and will reach about 9 billion upto 2050. Also due to climate change, it is difficult to meet the food requirement of such a large population. Facing the challenges presented by resource shortages, climate change, and increasing global population, crop yield and quality need to be improved in a sustainable way over the coming decades. Genetic improvement by breeding is the best way to increase crop productivity. With the rapid progression of functional genomics, an increasing number of crop genomes have been sequenced and dozens of genes influencing key agronomic traits have been identified. However, current genome sequence information has not been adequately exploited for understanding the complex characteristics of multiple gene, owing to a lack of crop phenotypic data. Efficient, automatic, and accurate technologies and platforms that can capture phenotypic data that can be linked to genomics information for crop improvement at all growth stages have become as important as genotyping. Thus, high-throughput phenotyping has become the major bottleneck restricting crop breeding. Plant phenomics has been defined as the high-throughput, accurate acquisition and analysis of multi-dimensional phenotypes during crop growing stages at the organism level, including the cell, tissue, organ, individual plant, plot, and field levels. With the rapid development of novel sensors, imaging technology, and analysis methods, numerous infrastructure platforms have been developed for phenotyping.

The use of Nauplii and metanauplii artemia in aquaculture (brine shrimp).pptx

MAGOTI ERNEST

Although Artemia has been known to man for centuries, its use as a food for the culture of larval organisms apparently began only in the 1930s, when several investigators found that it made an excellent food for newly hatched fish larvae (Litvinenko et al., 2023). As aquaculture developed in the 1960s and ‘70s, the use of Artemia also became more widespread, due both to its convenience and to its nutritional value for larval organisms (Arenas-Pardo et al., 2024). The fact that Artemia dormant cysts can be stored for long periods in cans, and then used as an off-the-shelf food requiring only 24 h of incubation makes them the most convenient, least labor-intensive, live food available for aquaculture (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021). The nutritional value of Artemia, especially for marine organisms, is not constant, but varies both geographically and temporally. During the last decade, however, both the causes of Artemia nutritional variability and methods to improve poorquality Artemia have been identified (Loufi et al., 2024). Brine shrimp (Artemia spp.) are used in marine aquaculture worldwide. Annually, more than 2,000 metric tons of dry cysts are used for cultivation of fish, crustacean, and shellfish larva. Brine shrimp are important to aquaculture because newly hatched brine shrimp nauplii (larvae) provide a food source for many fish fry (Mozanzadeh et al., 2021). Culture and harvesting of brine shrimp eggs represents another aspect of the aquaculture industry. Nauplii and metanauplii of Artemia, commonly known as brine shrimp, play a crucial role in aquaculture due to their nutritional value and suitability as live feed for many aquatic species, particularly in larval stages (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021).

Unlocking the mysteries of reproduction: Exploring fecundity and gonadosomati...

AbdullaAlAsif1

The pygmy halfbeak Dermogenys colletei, is known for its viviparous nature, this presents an intriguing case of relatively low fecundity, raising questions about potential compensatory reproductive strategies employed by this species. Our study delves into the examination of fecundity and the Gonadosomatic Index (GSI) in the Pygmy Halfbeak, D. colletei (Meisner, 2001), an intriguing viviparous fish indigenous to Sarawak, Borneo. We hypothesize that the Pygmy halfbeak, D. colletei, may exhibit unique reproductive adaptations to offset its low fecundity, thus enhancing its survival and fitness. To address this, we conducted a comprehensive study utilizing 28 mature female specimens of D. colletei, carefully measuring fecundity and GSI to shed light on the reproductive adaptations of this species. Our findings reveal that D. colletei indeed exhibits low fecundity, with a mean of 16.76 ± 2.01, and a mean GSI of 12.83 ± 1.27, providing crucial insights into the reproductive mechanisms at play in this species. These results underscore the existence of unique reproductive strategies in D. colletei, enabling its adaptation and persistence in Borneo's diverse aquatic ecosystems, and call for further ecological research to elucidate these mechanisms. This study lends to a better understanding of viviparous fish in Borneo and contributes to the broader field of aquatic ecology, enhancing our knowledge of species adaptations to unique ecological challenges.

Sérgio Sacani

Context. With a mass exceeding several 104 M⊙ and a rich and dense population of massive stars, supermassive young star clusters represent the most massive star-forming environment that is dominated by the feedback from massive stars and gravitational interactions among stars. Aims. In this paper we present the Extended Westerlund 1 and 2 Open Clusters Survey (EWOCS) project, which aims to investigate the influence of the starburst environment on the formation of stars and planets, and on the evolution of both low and high mass stars. The primary targets of this project are Westerlund 1 and 2, the closest supermassive star clusters to the Sun. Methods. The project is based primarily on recent observations conducted with the Chandra and JWST observatories. Specifically, the Chandra survey of Westerlund 1 consists of 36 new ACIS-I observations, nearly co-pointed, for a total exposure time of 1 Msec. Additionally, we included 8 archival Chandra/ACIS-S observations. This paper presents the resulting catalog of X-ray sources within and around Westerlund 1. Sources were detected by combining various existing methods, and photon extraction and source validation were carried out using the ACIS-Extract software. Results. The EWOCS X-ray catalog comprises 5963 validated sources out of the 9420 initially provided to ACIS-Extract, reaching a photon flux threshold of approximately 2 × 10−8 photons cm−2 s −1 . The X-ray sources exhibit a highly concentrated spatial distribution, with 1075 sources located within the central 1 arcmin. We have successfully detected X-ray emissions from 126 out of the 166 known massive stars of the cluster, and we have collected over 71 000 photons from the magnetar CXO J164710.20-455217.
