“…The sex ratio of the emerging F 1 adults was also in favor of males, and more males were obtained than in P and controls. The aforementioned incidents were similarly reported by Ibrahim (2012) on Spodoptera littoralis and Salem et al (2014) on Agrotis ipsilon.…”

The efficiency of substerile gamma radiation dose on biological, biochemical analysis of the essential nutritive components (total protein, lipids and carbohydrate concentrations), and the sexual hormones (free testosterone and follicle stimulating hormone) of male Helicoverpa armigera (parent generation P and first generation F 1) irradiated as full grown male pupae were studied. The results revealed that there was a significant decrease in emergence percentage of P and F 1 generations with increasing radiation dose, which noted that the sex ratio of P and F 1 generations were in favour of male. The fecundity and fertility of P and F 1 were decreased. However, the sterility percentage of P and F 1 generations was increased by increasing the radiation dose which was more pronounced in F 1 than in P. A negative significant correlation was found between both of the larval duration and pupation percentage of F 1 and the increase of radiation dose. The results indicated a significant decrease in the essential nutritive components (total protein, lipids, and carbohydrate concentrations) and the sexual hormones (free testosterone and follicle stimulating hormone). Furthermore, the reduction was more in F 1 than in P males. In general, it was obvious that the substerile gamma radiation doses enhanced an inherited sterility in H. armigera. Therefore, it could be concluded that inherited sterility of H. armigera may contribute to reduction of insecticides application or may integrate with other safe control methods in controlling H. armigera.

The objective of current is to evaluate the emergence of adult fruit flies by irradiating the pupae at different doses.…”

Fruit flies are regarded as one of the most devastating pest of fruits and vegetables on earth planet. Generally chemical control is implemented for their control but it poses lot of eco-environmental concerns so the emphasis is now turning towards eco-friendly management practices. Bio-control is an efficient and environmentally sound approach and augmentation is primarily focus on classical biological control program. In this study, eight sub-sterilizing doses of 0, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 and 80 were tested against Bactrocera zonata and Bactrocera cucurbitae pupae. The results showed that radiation prolong the duration of pupal stage and hatching is reduced by applying radiation. This also shows that when the quantity of the radiation increases, the adult emergence decreases. This study could be very useful in exploiting the potential host for longer period of time for culturing their pupal parasitoids.
