“…Depending upon the species the apparent differences in growth rate can be huge (Figure 1) (for a justification of the use of internode length to quantify growth rate see Wareing & Phillips, 1981). While there are significant differences in the terpene composition of juvenile and adult foliage (i.e., coppice and non-coppice foliage, respectively) (Li et al, 1994(Li et al, , 1995(Li et al, , 1996, the differential oligophagy exhibited by species of Amorbus (Steinbauer, 1995(Steinbauer, , 1997b) is considered to indicate that such compounds may not significantly influence utilisation of coppice but that other constituents of the coreid diet determine the response of these insects to such vegetation, for example, changes in essential amino acids (Brodbeck & Strong, 1987). This possibility has also been raised by Schaefer & Mitchell (1983) for the superfamily as a whole.…”

Species of Amorbus Dallas (Hemiptera: Coreidae) appear to exhibit a tight link between oviposition preference and nymphal performance: females apparently select vigorous plant modules to facilitate the development of their offspring. Such behaviour suggests that these insects should exhibit population dynamics consistent with the latent classification proposed by Price et al. (1990). While this empirical hypothesis is intuitively appealing it does not appear to incorporate current population dynamics theory. Berryman's ecodynamics (1992) offers the potential to describe a species' population dynamics which is grounded in a quantitative theoretical framework. The population ecology of Amorbus species from Australia is considered in relation to these hypotheses.

“…In fact, during water stress, proteins can be hydrolyzed and plants may produce and accumulate nitrogen-containing osmoprotectants, resulting in increased levels of free amino acids (Brodbeck & Strong, 1987), but turgor pressure and water content decrease (Hsiao, 1973, Inbar et al, 2001) and levels of allelochemicals may occasionally increase (Gershenzon, 1984;Mattson & Haack, 1987;Inbar et al, 2001). Larsson (1989) suggests that physiological responses of plants to water deficit produce quite different consequences for specific feeding guilds of herbivorous insects.…”

Abstract. Deficit irrigation scheduling is used to increase the efficiency with which water is used in many crops including tomato, however a water deficit is predicted to favour phloem feeding insects. We tested if and how different cultivars of tomato grown under water deficit conditions affect the population growth of the aphid Macrosiphum euphorbiae. Three tomato cultivars (Scintilla, Beefmaster and Rio Grande) were used in the experiments. The results for three watering regimes were compared with those of a control, which was well watered every three days: stressed plants received one third of the water supplied to the control over each three-day interval (experiment 1); stressed plants received a gradually decreasing amount of water (100% at the first watering and then 80%, 60%, 50%, 40% and 20%) every three days (experiment 2); stressed plants received the same amount of water as the control but at longer intervals, that is when evident signs of wilting appeared (experiment 3). The results showed that water stress either enhanced, had an adverse effect or had no effect on aphid population growth, depending on the cultivar and watering regime. No difference was recorded in the population dynamics of M. euphorbiae feeding on Beefmaster tomato plants subjected to different levels of water stress. In the case of the cultivar Scintilla, live aphids were less abundant on stressed plants than on well watered ones in experiment 1 and 3 but not in experiment 2. The highest variability in aphid population dynamics on the plants grown under the different water stress protocols was recorded on the cultivar Rio Grande. In experiment 1, the initial peak in aphid numbers was higher on the water stressed plants than on the control and then decreased to lower numbers than on the control. In experiment 2, there were no differences in the numbers of aphids infesting stressed and control plants. In experiment 3, there were fewer aphids on stressed than on control plants after six days, as in experiment 1, but there was no initial peak in aphid numbers.

“…(Paritsis and Veblen, 2011) because water stress promotes the accumulation of free amino acids in plants which favour the development of insects (Showler, 2012). These can be more attractant to herbivore as insects use nitrogen from gut in form of amino acids (Brodbeck and Strong, 1987). Sugarcane varieties are more susceptible to Sipha flava (Forbes), if they have high concentration of essential amino acids (Akbar et al, 2010).…”

To cite this paper: Noor-ul-Ane, M., M.J. Arif, M.D. Gogi and M.A. Khan, 2015 armigera; whereas alone application of Neemosal proved least effective against H. armigera (0.32 larvae/plant). On the basis of cost benefit ratio (CBR), module-15 involving integrated implementation of Spinosad, Neemosal, C. carnea and H. hebetor explained highest yield (1639.52 kg/ha) and CBR (1: 6.15) and proved economical and effective IPM module. In conclusion, water stress condition had positive impact on H. armigera feeding-damage (bi-trophic interaction) but had negative impact on parasitism. Integration of bio-control agents, botanicals and reduced-risk insecticides would be more cost-effective than their alone or two-level integration.
