“…The infestation and damage level of this insect varied from district to district (Table 2). McPherson and McPherson (2000) reported that stink bugs (Pentatomidae) and leaf-footed bugs (Coreidae) are important direct pests of many crops which agree with The infestation and damage of biting ants (black ants) were recorded in terms of nest constructed and leaf wounded due to ants. Key: -Very low (≤ 5%) =*, low (6-10%) = **, medium (11-20%) =***, high (21-50%) =****level.…”

Survey was carried out to study the distribution, infestation and damaging level of insect pests of black pepper during 2013/2014 cropping season in Southwestern Ethiopia. Insect pests were observed and identified at their sites in the surveyed areas. In addition, samples of insect pests and infected plant parts were collected and insect images were taken. The samples were diagnosed in Tepi National Spice Research Center laboratory. A total of twenty two species of insect pests were recorded as black pepper insect pest with different rate of infestation and damage level. Biting black ants (Tetramorium species), black pepper flea beetle (Longitarsus species), leaf gal trips (Liothrips species), and stink bugs (Pentatomidae) were recorded with relatively high infestation and damage level from all surveyed area, while others were considered as intermediate and minor pest due to low infestation and damage level. Therefore, it is important to design control options for these major insect pests to ensure plant health and pest action under economic threshold level.

“…To evaluate pRNAi effects in E. heros, young adults (0-3 days old) were collected and chilled on ice and gender identified based on structural dimorphism of the genitalia (McPherson and McPherson, 2000). The insects were handled with Featherweight entomology forceps and females injected with dsRNA using a Nanoject II™ injector.…”

“…It was subsequently confirmed resistance of IAC100 in naturally occurring infestations of soybean bug complex (Piozodorus guildinii, Euschistus spp, and Nezara viridula (Rosseto, 1989;Carro-Panizzi and Kitamura, 1995). This cultivar has two American introductions PI 229358 and PI 274454 in its genealogy (Carro-Panizzi and Kitamura, 1995), which have proven resistance to complex gift bedbugs in South America (Panizzi et al, 2000) and southern United States (Mcpherson and Mcpherson, 2000). Possibly, we can infer that the background of genotype IAC100 exists in some alleles for resistance to the cyst nematode, which during the selection in LAGER/UFU breeding program and with the advancement of its generations, allowed the expression of its gene effect for resistance in some selected strains.…”
