“…The natural enemy communities that we monitored in this study were restricted to those species that have active flight in the adult stage, and so excluded several natural enemy taxa of importance such as epigeal predators, wingless parasitoids and spiders that can be of importance in orchard crops (Allen and Hagley, 1990;Riddick and Mills, 1994;Monzó et al, 2011;Unruh et al, 2016, this issue). Other sampling methods that have been used to monitor natural enemies in orchard crops include beat trays (Benhadi-Marin et al, 2011;Wearing et al, 2011;Horton et al, 2012), pitfall traps (Riddick and Mills, 1995;Wearing et al, 2011), yellow pan traps or sticky cards (Wearing et al, 2011;Schuber et al, 2012), and corrugated cardboard bands (Marliac et al, 2015). Among these alternatives some are more selective in the range of natural enemy taxa sampled, such as pitfall traps (epigeal predators), beat trays (juvenile foliage predators) and cardboard bands (overwintering and cryptic predators and parasitoids), while others such as yellow pan traps or stick cards are equally broad, but are also restricted to actively flying species.…”

In this study we used sticky traps baited with plant volatile lures to monitor the biodiversity of natural enemies in orchard ecosystems in the western U.S. We compared the diversity of predator genera from season total trap catches in 37 different orchards (apple, cherry, pear and walnut) over a two-year period (2010-2011) using standardized Hill number biodiversity indices and community similarity profiles. For a subset of 23 of these orchards we were also able to monitor the change in biodiversity of predator genera over the full growing season in the different orchard crops. A total of 37,854 individuals from 31 different genera of foliage-active generalist predators were collected from all orchards combined. Mean sample coverage was high (0.98) and richness, diversity and evenness differed between crops in 2010, but not in 2011. There was more than 90% similarity in the richness of predator genera among crops and among orchards within crops, but a greater level of differentiation was observed among orchards when variation in their relative abundance and dominance in the communities was taken into account. There was a consistent rise in predator generic richness and diversity through the season in both years for apple, cherry and pear orchards, but in walnut orchards, a steep rise from March to May was followed by a decline through the rest of the season. In an additional component of the study, the species level similarity of predator and parasitoid communities was analyzed for total season trap catch data from six walnut orchards. The rarefied species richness of parasitoids was much greater than that for predators, although the diversity, evenness and dominance of the parasitoid species varied considerably among orchards. The results from this study highlight the fact that natural enemy communities in orchard ecosystems can be effectively monitored using plant volatile traps, and that these communities are surprisingly diverse despite frequent disturbance from pest management intervention.

Purple nutsedge (Cyperus rotundus L.) is one of the important weeds in the world because of its ability to suppress the production of crops and difficult to control. C. rotundus residues can suppress the growth of others weeds. The experiments 2-furanmethanol; 1,4-benzenediol; 2-methoxy-4-vinylphenol; phenol, 2,6-dimethoxy; syringic acid; dan 3-hydroxybenzoic acid. Uji perkecambahan menunjukkan bahwa ekstrak teki dari aksesi berbeda dengan konsentrasi berbeda mempunyai aktivitas penghambatan terhadap perkecambahan B. alata dengan tingkat penghambatan yang sama.

In the present study, one cephaline (septate) gregarine and mermithid infections were reported from the Cantharidae family for the first time. These infections were determined from different populations of Cantharis livida L. 1758 (Coleoptera: Cantharidae) in Turkey. During the observations, the main life stages of the current gregarine like trophozoite, gamont associative form (syzygy) and gametocyst stages were observed. The gamont stage which separated into two parts by septum as protomerite and deutomerite was the most common stage in the host gut and ovocylindrical gamonts measured 240.4 ± 29.0 (154.5-306.2; n=40) μm in length. The mermithid infection was observed only in two samples which were collected from Rize (total infection rate 3.22%). The determined juvenile forms were measured 270-281 μm in width and 68.6-79.98 mm in length.
