“…Results presented in Table (2) show also that feeding larvae leave treated with Melia and Vinca extracts, slightly reduced haemolymph-invertase activity, while in the case of Challenger and Conyza-hexane extract treatments realize significant highest reductions in the enzyme activity. Almost all treatments induced high significant differences than the control (F5,24=80.879**, P=0.000) (Table 2).…”

“…(Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), is known as one of the serious insect pest of several important field crops allover the world [1]. Although insecticides are principally applied to control the black cutworm in Egypt [2]. Scintests were still seeking for environment friendly and safe methods to control this insect pest using plant derivatives (secondary plant compounds) as: alkaloids, glycosides, phenolics, uncommon proteins and unusual free amino acids, steroids, essential oils, terpenes, and resins [3], where these compounds have significant insecticidal action.…”

This study was conducted to evaluate the toxic and harmful effects of Challenger insecticide compared to some plant extracts having insecticidal properties (Conyza aegyptiaca, Melia azedarach, and Vinca rosae) to control Agrotis ipsilon (Hüfn.) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). They could be used as alternatives, safer and effective products against many insect pests, also to prevent or minimize the chemical pesticide applications, consequently to keep away the environmental contamination.The alterations in the nutrient components and digestive enzyme activities in the haemolymph of Agrotis 6 th larval instar was determined after feeding the 5 th larval instar on castor bean leaves treated with tested plant extracts at 5 % concentration and Challenger insecticide at a concentration of 0.5 %. Feeding larvae on these insecticidal materials induced considerable reduction in the total protein, lipids, and carbohydrates, in larval haemolymph. Results recommend that tested insecticidal compounds at such low concentrations can hinder A. ipsilon larval duration, food consumed, and enzymatic possessions. So, the tested insecticidal materials could be applied as a control strategy for this pest.

“…The greasy cutworm, Agrotis ipsilon (Hüfn), is known as a hazardous destructive pest for corn, Zea mays (L.) in Egypt, where it negatively affects corn yield production. Using insecticides continuously were sharply affected the progress of pest development in the field [1]. The frequent uses of chemical pesticides to protect field crops were raises up the negative aspect, such as the development of insecticide-resistant strains [2].…”

Background: Agrotis ipsilon (Hüfn.), is known as a hazardous destructive pest for corn, Zea mays (L.) in Egypt, where it negatively affects corn yield production. Using insecticides continuously were sharply affected the progress of pest development in the field. The frequent uses of chemical pesticides to protect field crops leads to the development of insecticide-resistant strains. Aim: Evaluate the insecticidal effect of four plant extracts with insecticidal properties and a chemical insecticide to control A. ipsilon using biological parameters and fertility life table. Also, to estimate the effects of these insecticidal materials on population growth, developmental progress, and nutritional indices and hence make recommendation of the type of insecticides to be used in Integrated Pest Management Programs. Methodology: 1- Tested materials: (1) chemical insecticide (Chlorfenapyr at 0.5% concentration). (2) Four plant extracts (petroleum ether extracts of both Melia azedarach and Vinca rosea, and alcohol & hexane extracts of Conyza aegyptiaca) at 5% concentration each. 2- Tested insect: Agrotis ipsilon (the egg stage and the 4th larval instar). 3- Bioassay: Eggs and larvae were treated with tested materials separately, then different biological parameters were calculated. 4- Life table parameters: Life table parameters were calculate using the “Age-stage, two-sex life tables” computer program. Results: The obtained data revealed that petroleum ether extracts of V. rosea and M. azedarach were the best antifeedant agents against the 4th larval instar of A. ipsilon. The female longevity was significantly shortened under the effect of both treatments of M. azedarach and Challenger insecticide. All tested materials reflected an effective decline in the female ability for laying eggs, where this effect was obvious in the case of M. azedarach and Challenger insecticide treatments. It was found that the Melia treatment prolonged the incubation and developmental periods for the immature stages leading to a reduction of some life table parameters of A. ipsilon and also increase the generation mean time. Conclusion: The resultant data obtained in this work may help in the usage of plant extracts in the advancement of IPM programs for the greasy cutworm, (Agrotis ipsilon) in Egypt.

“…Ostrinia nubilalis is one of the serious pests among corn borers that infest grain corn causing severe reductions in corn production. Their development, survival rate, geographical distribution, and population density are strongly influenced by either insecticides or the prevailing temperature in the field (Ebeid, 2012;Ebeid et al, 2017).…”

Background: The European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis (Hüb.) (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), is an important pest that disturbs the economic yield of Egyptian crops especially the corn plant. Results: We examined the rate of development of two strains (one from Sharqia Governorate and the other from Qena Governorate) treated with challenger/silica nanoparticle formulation within a range of temperatures (15 to 45°C). The developmental period and thermal requirements (DD) of O. nubilalis at four constant temperatures (15, 25, 35, and 45°C) were significantly different between each other. The developmental rate of both strains increased significantly with the increase of temperature. The estimated life table for both treated populations from different two localities predicted their population dynamics. Conclusion:The duration and thermal requirements of two populations of the silica nanoparticle-treated strains of Ostrinia nubilalis (Hüb.) from different localities, and its development at four tested constant temperatures were significantly different between each other. Such information and life table are crucial to predict the seasonal abundance of the adult O. nubilalis in the field, which is essential for the successful implantation of control measures and enables us to determine the best time for controlling with better performance.
