Prey-predator Interaction and Info-chemical Behavior of Rhynocoris fuscipes (Fab.) on Three Agricultural Pests (Heteroptera: Reduviidae)

Response of the reduviid bug, Rhynocoris marginatus (Heteroptera: Reduviidae) to six different species of cotton pests

“…This supports previous fi ndings for the same and other reduviid species (Cohen, 1990;Sahayaraj & Paulraj, 2001;Tebayashi et al, 2003;Sahayaraj & Delma, 2004;Sahayaraj, 2008;Sujatha et al, 2012). R. marginatus responded differently to the extracts from the different species of prey, which presumably refl ect differences in volatile components and composition of the extracts (Ananthakrishnan, 1996), but showed a clear preference for S. litura.…”

Kairomones for Increasing the Biological Control Efficiency of Insect Natural Enemies

“…), and castor semilooper pest Achaea janata Linn. (Sujatha et al 2012). The water fraction of the mixture of chloroform and methanol extract of A. janata elicited maximum feeding responses over the other two insects tested.…”

Evaluation of chemical, botanical and cultural management options of termite in Tanqua Abergelle district, Ethiopia

“…Chemical spray with Dursban is highly effective in the management of wood destroying termites (Roll, 2007). The possibilities of using different control measures such as fungal insecticides, bio-insecticides and botanical method rather than chemical insecticides have been reported (Silva et al, 2012;Sujatha et al, 2012). The application of crop residue and cattle manure reported reducing the number of termites on crop fields' by 21.6 and 29.7% compared to non-treated fields (Legesse et al, 2013).…”
