The activity of phosphine against diapausing larvae of Ephestia elutella was shown to depend on several different interactions of duration of exposure, temperature and gas concentration. Using the model proposed by Knight, (C? C0) × (t? t0) = k, a constant for mortality, the minimum effective concentration C0 was raised and the minimum effective exposure t0 extended as temperatures were increased. The effect of temperature on these thresholds was reduced at higher mortality levels. A range of concentration levels, influenced by temperature, elicited an increase in tolerance at the LD99 level over that evident at higher or lower concentrations. These concentration ranges were 0.9–2-1 mg litre-1at 25°C,0.7–2.3 mg litre-1 at 20°C and 0.1–1.5 mg litre-1 at 15°C. A mathematical model was fitted to relate concentration and time thresholds, mortality and temperature. At the LD50 level, values for t0 ranged from 2.5 h at 15°C to 5.0 h at 25°C. C0 values increased from about 0.6 to 7.0 μg litre-1 over this temperature range. At the LD99 level, t0 values ranged from 21 to 28 h and C0 values from 11 to 19 μg litre-1. Phosphine appeared most effective at each temperature at concentrations from about 40 to 60–100 μg litre-1.  相似文献

The two quarantine pests Synchytrium endobioticum, the causal agent of potato wart disease and Globodera rostochiensis, the yellow potato cyst nematode are currently present in Germany. Winter sporangia of Synchytrium endobioticum and cysts of Globodera rostochiensis can be spread with waste from potato processing industries, if infected tubers are processed. The German Biowaste Ordinance prescribes sanitation of organic waste before it can be used on arable land as fertilizer or filling material. Sanitation parameters prescribed by the German Biowaste Ordinance include composting for 7 days at 65°C or 14 days at 55°C or pasteurisation for 60 min at 70°C. The effect of composting and pasteurisation processes on winter sporangia of Synchytrium endobioticum and cysts of Globodera rostochiensis was tested with varying time-temperature relations. Cysts of Globodera rostochiensis were killed by composting for 7 days at 50–55°C and by pasteurisation for 30 min at 70°C. In contrast, viable winter sporangia of Synchytrium endobioticum could be extracted from sample material after composting for 70 days at 30–45°C, composting for 21 days at 50–55°C and after composting for 12 days at 60–65°C. Likewise viable winter sporangia could be extracted after pasteurisation for 90 min at 70°C and heating in a water bath at 80°C and in a dry oven at 90°C for 8 h. The parameters prescribed in the German Biowaste Ordinance are sufficient to kill cysts of Globodera rostochiensis but not sufficient to kill winter sporangia of Synchytrium endobioticum in organic waste.  相似文献

Plant pathogens, especially Phytophthora and bacterial species, in re-circulated irrigation water present a significant health risk to nursery and greenhouse crops. Heat treatment at 95°C for 30?s is one of the most reliable technologies for irrigation water decontamination. The primary objective here was to examine whether the water temperature required to inactivate major pathogens in re-circulated irrigation water can be lowered from 95°C to conserve energy and improve horticultural profitability while reducing environmental footprint. Specifically, we investigated the effect of water temperature on Phytophthora nicotianae zoospore survival in the laboratory and on annual vinca under greenhouse conditions. We also assessed the effect of water temperature on survival of chlamydospores of P. nicotianae, oospores of P. pini, six plant pathogenic bacterial species and Escherichia coli. The zoospores of P. nicotianae did not survive and cause any disease on annual vinca when exposed to 42°C for 12?h or 48°C for 6?h. No chlamydospores of P. nicotianae survived 42°C for 24?h or 48°C for 6?h, nor did the oospores of P. pini at 42°C for 12?h or 48°C for 6?h. In addition, none of the seven bacterial species survived 48°C for 24?h. These results indicate that the required water temperature to eliminate Phytophthora and bacterial species may be lowered substantially from 95°C by longer exposure time, improving the economics and environmental footprint, without sacrificing efficacy of heat treatment.  相似文献

The oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel), is a major polyphagous insect pest with a worldwide distribution. The effects of temperature on stage-specific development in B. dorsalis were investigated at eight constant temperatures (13.0 °C, 14.4 °C, 16.2 °C, 19.5 °C, 23.8 °C, 27.7 °C, 31.8 °C and 34.8 °C). B. dorsalis developed successfully from the egg stage to the adult stage at all the tested temperatures, except at the lowest temperatures (13.0 °C and 14.4 °C). Stage-specific lower developmental thresholds and thermal constants were determined using linear regression. The lower and higher temperature threshold (TL and TH, respectively) were estimated using the Sharpe-Schoolfield-Ikemoto model. The lower developmental threshold and thermal constant from egg to adult emergence were 9.8 °C and 325.5 degree-days, respectively. The intrinsic optimum temperatures of the egg, larval, pupal and egg to pupal stage were 20.7 °C, 21.8 °C, 21.1 °C, and 22.4 °C, respectively. The temperature range of the B. dorsalis total immature stage from TL to TH was 20.4 °C (13.8 °C - 34.2 °C). The stage-specific developmental completion of B. dorsalis was determined using a two-parameter Weibull function. The daily adult emergence frequency of B. dorsalis was estimated in relation to adult age and temperature using non-linear developmental rate functions and the Weibull function. The date of cumulative 50% adult emergence estimated using non-linear functions was approximately one day earlier than the experimentally observed date. Thermal performance was compared among B. dorsalis populations from different locations.  相似文献

White powdery rot in figs caused by Phytophthora palmivora is an important disease resulting in severe fruit rot, but is not currently effectively controlled in Japan due to a lack of understanding of its epidemiology. Therefore, the effects of temperature, zoospore concentration, infection period, and fruit maturity on infection of figs were examined by inoculating the fruit with a suspension of P. palmivora zoospores. The zoospores germinated at temperatures from 5 to 35 °C, with the optimum temperature range being 20–35 °C. Germ tube length in zoospore cysts was greatest at 20–30 °C. The disease developed in green figs at temperatures from 20 to 30 °C. Figs inoculated with as few as 10 zoospores per fruit developed severe symptoms at the optimum temperature (25 °C). The minimum infection period required for infection was 2 h at 20–28 °C. All of the figs developed symptoms within an 8 h infection period at 25 or 28 °C, and with a 6 h infection period at 25 °C. All fruit at different stages of development (immature fruit, yellow fruit, and mature fruit) developed symptoms. These results indicate that P. palmivora is capable of infecting figs over a wide range of temperatures, within a short infection period, at a low concentration of zoospores, and at any stage of development. These data could be used to construct forecasting models and develop effective control systems for white powdery rot.  相似文献

Storage of natural enemies at low temperatures has an important role in biological control programs. It is an very critical factor that the stored individuals is used without losing their characters such as longevity, survival, fecundity, etc. In this study, the storage possibilities of Rhyzobius lophantae Blaisdell (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) adults under low temperatures (4 °C and 12 °C) for four different periods (10, 20, 30 and 40 days) were investigated. The survival rates and life span of adults (male and female), daily and total egg numbers laid by females stored at 4 °C and 12 °C for 10, 20, 30 and 40 days were determined. The survival rates of adults stored at 4 °C for 10 and 20 days were found to be 94.54% and 58.02% respectively. However, no adults stored at 4 °C for 30 and 40 days were observed to survive. The highest survival rate was 88% for the adults stored at 12 °C for 10 days. The average daily laid egg numbers were 12.51 and 9.37, and total egg numbers were 850.30 and 738.30 of adults stored at 4 °C for 10 and 20 days, respectively. The decrease in daily and total egg numbers of females stored at 12 °C was observed with increasing storage period. There was no significant difference in longevities of male and female stored at 4 °C and 12 °C. These results show that short-term storage at low temperatures does not affect certain properties of the predator when compared to 12 °C and storage periods.  相似文献

Verticillium wilt, caused by the fungus Verticillium dahliae, is currently the most important disease affecting olive in the Mediterranean basin. There are no effective treatments for controlling this disease. The use of infected nursery stocks has largely contributed to the spread of the pathogen, and therefore the development of treatments to preventively sanitize the propagation stock is critical in the nursery industry. This study describes novel techniques to achieve this aim. The effects of several temperature–exposure time combinations were evaluated: (i) the survival of pathogen on culture medium (PDA); (ii) the pathogen viability on infected shoots and plants; (iii) the vegetative growth of plants of several cultivars; and (iv) the rooting ability of cuttings. The colonies of the pathogen growing in PDA were killed after 8 h and 60 min of exposure at 40 and 47°C, respectively. Temperatures ≥42°C for at least 2 h were lethal for the pathogen infecting the shoots. Likewise, moist hot air treatments at 42–44°C for 6–12 h eradicated the pathogen, without compromising the viability of the plants. Five olive cultivars were also evaluated and classified according to their thermotolerance as follows: sensitive (Chiquitita), moderately sensitive (Koroneiki, Frantoio and Picual) and heat tolerant (Arbequina). However, the optimized sanitation methods were applicable to all of the cultivars. Finally, heat treatments were applied to unrooted cuttings, which severely affected their rooting ability. Thus, this study developed a hot air treatment to produce V. dahliae‐free olive nursery plants.  相似文献

The performance of postharvest treatments with sodium propylparaben (SPP), alone or combined with low doses of the fungicide imazalil (IMZ), against citrus green (GM) and blue (BM) molds was evaluated on several citrus species and cultivars artificially inoculated with Penicillium digitatum and P. italicum, respectively, and incubated at 20 °C or cold-stored at 5 °C. Effectiveness of 100 mM SPP dips at 20 °C for 60 s was higher on oranges than on mandarins, with GM and BM incidence reductions of up to 60–90 % after 7 days at 20 °C. Irrespective of citrus cultivar and storage condition, SPP generally improved the curative action of 25 μl l?1 IMZ to control Penicillium molds. In additional tests, 100 mM SPP dips at 20 °C for 60 s only prevented GM on ‘Valencia’ oranges inoculated 24 h after treatment when combined with IMZ. It can be concluded that postharvest SPP treatments show promise as an effective alternative to be considered in citrus postharvest disease control programs.  相似文献

The growth and survival of three strawberry pathogens, Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. fragariae (FOF), Phytophthora cactorum, and Verticillium dahliae, were examined in anaerobic (anoxic) conditions at several temperatures (10–40 °C). The growth and survival of these fungi were suppressed by anaerobic conditions in comparison with those in cultured aerobically. Under anaerobic conditions at 22.5 °C, tested isolates of FOF and P. cactorum grew slightly, but V. dahliae did not grow. The three fungi survive for markedly shorter time in the anaerobic conditions compared with the aerobic conditions at all tested temperatures except 40 °C for FOF and P. cactorum. Moreover, survival periods shortened as the cultivation temperature increased. These results demonstrate that anaerobic conditions contribute to eradicating these pathogens during flooding or reductive soil disinfestation.  相似文献

Warehouse moth (Ephestia elutella) larvae in diapause were exposed at 15°C to methyl bromide at 8 mg litre?1 for 14.5 h and then immediately exposed at a lower concentration. The exposure at 8 mg litre?1 killed 44–69% of the larvae treated. Subsequent concentrations down to 1.1 mg litre?1 obeyed Haber's rule (concentration × time= k, a constant for mortality), but a higher concentration-time product (ct) was required for over 90% kill at 0.8 mg litre?1. Only concentrations down to 1.9 mg litre?1 obey Haber's rule if there is no prior exposure at a higher concentration. Although minimum effective concentrations are lower at 15°C than at 25°C, exposure at a higher concentration depresses the subsequent level to a similar extent at each temperature. The contribution to the efficacy of a treatment, of low concentrations persisting at the end of fumigation, is thus likely to be even greater at moderate to low temperatures than at 25°C. The implications for the development of resistance to methyl bromide are discussed.  相似文献

The effects of essential oils (EO), cold water (CWE), hot water (HWE) and ethanol (ETHE) extracts of Callistemon citrinus L. and Cymbopogon citratus (DC) Stapf on the radial growth of Alternaria padwickii (Ganguly) M.B. Ellis and Bipolaris oryzae (Breda de Haan) Shoemaker, the control of brown spot disease, the tillering, the number of panicles and the yield increase in rice were evaluated under laboratory and field conditions. In vitro, the growth of both fungi was completely inhibited by the EO of C. citrinus and C. citratus at 4,520 μg/ml and 452 μg/ml, respectively. For solvent extracts, the ETHE of C. citrinus was the most active and inhibited 80–85 % of the fungal growth followed by the CWE of C. citratus with 77 % and 36 % diameter reduction against B. oryzae and A. padwickii, respectively at 10 000 μg/ml. Under laboratory conditions, seed treatment with the EO of C. citrinus reduced the incidence of B. oryzae in seeds by 85–100 % compared to the non-treated controls. Similarly, the seed treatment increased the germination of an irrigated rice cultivar by 10.6 %, whereas the percentage of germinated seeds of upland rice was not significantly affected. The highest germination (85–94 %) was found in the non-treated and treated samples with a low incidence (0–4 %) of B. oryzae. Under field conditions, the combined use of the essential oil of C. citrinus as a seed treatment and spraying the plants with 2 % ethanol followed by 2 % (w/v) aqueous extracts of C. citrinus or C. citratus increased the emergence, tillering, panicles/plant and the grain yield by 25–55 % of the irrigated rice. In addition, the brown spot severity was reduced by 36–42 %. For the upland rice, the treatments led to similar results with the grain yield increase of 54–137 % and 20–80 % reduction in the brown spot severity. From our results, we concluded that the EO and solvent extracts of C. citrinus and C. citratus have potential as control agents against brown spot and other seed-borne fungal diseases in rice under both conventional and organic farming.  相似文献

N-Nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) levels in samples of 600 g litre?1 aqueous dimethylamine (DMA) solution stored at 4, 25 and 40°C, in formulations of the DMA salt of 2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2, 4-D) and of the DMA salt of 4-chloro-2-methylphenoxyacetic acid (MCPA) at 40°C were monitored using a gas-liquid chromatograph coupled with a thermal energy analyser (g.l.c./t.e.a.). The NDMA content of aqueous DMA at 4°C increased from 0.32μgg?1 to 8.6μgg?1 in 156 days. At 25°C it increased from 0.20μgg?1 to 10.5 μgg?1 in 156 days and at 40°C from 0.76μgg?1 to 7.12μgg?1 in 54 h. At 40°C, the NDMA in the 2, 4-D/DMAsalt increased from 0–53μgg?1 to 2.79μgg?1 in 96 days and in the MCPA/DMA salt from 0.48μgg?1 to 5.51 μgg?1 in 21 days.  相似文献

Preventive and curative antifungal activities of postharvest treatments with potassium silicate (PSi) against green (GM) and blue (BM) molds were evaluated on oranges (cvs. ‘Valencia’ or ‘Lanelate’) artificially inoculated in rind wounds with Penicillium digitatum and P. italicum, respectively. The most effective PSi concentration, the effect of fungal inoculum concentration, and the influence of temporal and spatial factors on antifungal activity were assessed in in vivo primary screenings. After 6 days of incubation at 20 °C, significant preventive (treatment before fungal inoculation) and curative (treatment after inoculation) activities against GM and BM were observed with PSi at 90 mM (GM and BM incidence reductions of 23 and 52 %, and 23 and 40 %, respectively). In preventive tests, the effectiveness of PSi was influenced by inoculum concentration (103, 104, 105, or 106 spores ml-1), but not by the distance between treatment and inoculation sites (10, 20 or 30 mm). PSi applied about 2 h before inoculation showed higher preventive activity than applied before 24, 48 or 96 h. In order to determine the best dip treatment conditions, PSi at 90 mM was tested at 20 or 50 °C for 60 or 150 s in small-scale trials with ‘Lanelate’ oranges artificially inoculated before or after the treatment and incubated for 7 days at 20 °C. Dips at 20 °C for 60 s were selected and subsequently applied on inoculated ‘Valencia’ oranges stored at 5 °C and 90 % RH for up to 6 weeks. Curative postharvest dips effectively reduced the incidence and severity of both GM and BM during cold storage, while preventive dips significantly reduced the severity but not the incidence. Overall, postharvest PSi treatments showed potential as a new tool to be part of non-polluting strategies to control penicillium decay of citrus fruit.  相似文献

In mosaic-diseased plants ofHippeastrum hybridum two viruses were found. One virus with a normal length of 706 nm caused local lesions onHyoscyamus niger test plants and mosaic symptoms in the leaves ofH. hybridum. This virus was identified with theHippeastrum mosaic virus (HMV) (*/*∶*/*∶E/E∶S/*) and had a dilution end point between 10?3 and 10?4, a thermal inactivation point between 55–60°C and a longevity at room temperature of 28–32 hours. The second virus had a normal length between 584 and 611 nm depending on the method used. It caused local lesions onGomphrena globosa andChenopodium quinoa leaves, and after inoculation ofH. hybridum was found to be present without showing symptoms. It was readily purified from inoculated leaf tissue ofC. quinoa andNicotiana clevelandii by differential centrifugation and ofH. hybridum by density-gradient centrifugation. Purified virus had an absorption minimum at 242 nm, a maximum at 262 nm and a 260/280 absorption ratio of 1.19. The dilution end point was between 10?3 and 10?4, the thermal inactivation point between 70 and 80°C and the longevity in vitro at room temperature 28–32 hours. Although no direct comparisons have been made with other members of the potexvirus group, the virus seems to be a new one now namedHippeastrum latent virus. Both viruses were not seed-borne.  相似文献

Studies were undertaken on the effects of temperature (14/10 °C and 22/17 °C day/night) and plant age (15, 23, 31 and 40 day-old-plants) on the severity of downy mildew (Hyaloperonospora parasitica) on oilseed Brassica cultivars (temperature: Brassica juncea Montara, B. napus Atomic, ATR-Hyden, Hyola 432, Hyola 450 TT, Thunder TT; plant age: B. juncea Dune, B. napus Surpass 402 and Hyola 450 TT). For temperature studies, there were significant (P?<?0.001) effects of temperature, cultivar, and cultivar x temperature interaction. On cotyledons of susceptible cultivars (B. napus Hyola 450 TT and Thunder TT), plants were symptomatic at 22/17 °C by 48 h post inoculation (hpi) and with abundant sporulation evident by 72 hpi, and with all cotyledons of B. napus Thunder TT collapsed by 7 days post inoculation (dpi). However, at 14/10 °C, there were no symptoms on the same cultivars until 5 dpi, and sporulation only observed at 7 dpi. Percent disease index values (DI%) at 22/17 °C of B. juncea Montara and B. napus ATR-Hyden, Hyola 432, Atomic, Hyola 450 TT and Thunder TT were 4.5, 49.0, 51.4, 65.8, 86.3 and 96.0, respectively, with all except B. juncea Montara having significantly lower (P?<?0.001) disease at 14/10 °C with DI% values of 2.8, 30.4, 27.9, 31.1, 44.4 and 76.4, respectively. For plant age studies, there were significant (P?<?0.001) effects of plant age, cultivar, and cultivar x plant age interaction. DI% was significantly higher at 15 compared to 40 day-old-plants (dop) across all cultivars. B. juncea Dune showed greatest resistance, particularly on 40 dop, with DI% values of 25.8, 24.6, 22.9 and 7.5, for 15, 23, 31 and 40 dop, respectively. B. napus Surpass 402 showed high susceptibility on cotyledons of 15 dop but moderate resistance on leaves of other ages, with DI% values of 59.0, 31.2, 27.1 and 26.2 for 15, 23, 31 and 40 dop, respectively. B. napus Hyola 450 TT showed very high susceptibility at the cotyledon stage on 15 dop, but some resistance on 23 dop and more so on 31 and 40 dop, with DI% values of 84.0, 41.2, 35.4 and 32.9 for 15, 23, 31 and 40 dop, respectively. Together, these findings explain for the first time why development of downy mildew epidemics on susceptible cultivars occurs early in the growing season when warmer seasonal temperatures in autumn coincide with presence of seedlings; in contrast to later in the growing season on less susceptible older plants coinciding with cooler and less favourable winter temperatures. Increasing maximum and minimum temperatures associated with climate change have likely fostered the increased severity of downy mildew over the past 15 years.  相似文献

We have investigated the role of the thermo-photoperiodic condition of maternal generation in diapause induction of Trichogramma chilonis (Ishii) (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) lab strain. To test the maternal effect, two lines of T. chilonis lab strain were generated by rearing them for one generation at: (1) 15 °C with L:D-12:12 (15F-112) and (2) 15 °C with L:D-20:4 (15F-120). The laboratory strain reared at 15 °C with L:D-12:12 for 65 generations (15F-6512) was used as the control (acclimatized strain) due to its proven diapausing capacity. The 15F-120 line failed to undergo diapause, though healthy pre-pupae were formed at the pre-storage condition (at 10 °C with L:D- 8:16 and RH-60-70%). However, 15F-112 line could successfully complete all the phases of diapause and was comparable with the control batch. Considering 50% adult emergence and minimum 3 days of longevity, 125 days of storage could be achieved. From our current study, we conclude that diapause can be induced in T. chilonis lab strain by providing appropriate thermo-photoperiod to their maternal generation (for a single generation) followed by suitable diapause inducing and terminating protocols.  相似文献

Bacterial spot disease of stone fruits, caused by Xanthomonas arboricola pv. pruni, is of high economic importance in the major stone-fruit-producing areas worldwide. A better understanding of disease epidemiology can be valuable in developing disease management strategies. The effects of weather variables (temperature and wet/dry period) on epiphytic growth of X. arboricola pv. pruni on Prunus leaves were analyzed, and the relationship between inoculum density and temperature on disease development was determined and modeled. The information generated in this study, performed under controlled environmental conditions, will be useful to develop a forecasting system for X. arboricola pv. pruni. Optimal temperature for growth of epiphytic populations ranged from 20 to 30 °C under leaf wetness. In contrast, multiplication of epiphytic populations was not only interrupted under low relative humidity (RH) (< 40%) at 25 °C, but also resulted in cell inactivation, with only 0.001% initial cells recovered after 72 h incubation. A significant effect of inoculum density on disease severity was observed and 106 CFU/ml was determined as the minimal infective dose for X. arboricola pv. pruni on Prunus. Infections occurred at temperatures from 15 to 35 °C, but incubation at 25 and 30 °C gave the shortest incubation periods (7.7 and 5.9 days respectively). A model for predicting disease symptom development was generated and successfully evaluated, based on the relationship between disease severity and the accumulated heat expressed in cumulative degree day (CDD). Incubation periods of 150, 175 and 280 CDD were required for 5, 10 and 50% of disease severity, respectively.  相似文献

Apanteles cerialis Nixon, a thelytokous braconid parasitoid ofBoarmia (Ascotis) selenaria Schiff., attacks young caterpillars (preferably 2–5 days old) of this pest in avocado plantations of Israel. At 27±1°C, oviposition rate is 2.04 progeny per day and 18.3 progeny over the entire life span. The development time of preimaginal stages is 16.1 and 15.2 days at 25° and 30°C, respectively, and increases to 37.3 days at 17°C. The pupal stage averages 4.4 days at 30°C and 13.5 days at 17°C. The average longevity of adults is 24.2 and 7.9 days at 30° and 17°C, respectively. In avocado orchardsA. cerialis appeared in considerable numbers in late summer and autumn; it was slightly hyperparasitized by the ichneumonid waspStictopisthus sp. (1 and 2% of the samples at one site).

Wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV) and Triticum mosaic virus (TriMV) are important viruses of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) in the Great Plains of United States. In addition to agronomic practices to prevent damage from these viruses, temperature sensitive resistance genes Wsm1, Wsm2 and Wsm3, have been identified. However, threshold temperatures for Wsm1 and Wsm3 have not been clearly defined. To better understand these two resistance genes, wheat lines C.I.15092 (Wsm1), KS96HW10–3 (Wsm1), and KS12WGGRC59 (Wsm3) were evaluated for WSMV resistance at 27, 30, 33 and 35 °C and for TriMV resistance at 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 33 and 35 °C. The results showed that only C.I.15092 remained resistant at 30 °C for both viruses. This line also tolerated TriMV at 33 and 35 °C with less sever symptom and lower infection rates. Wheat lines KS96HW10–3 and KS12WGGRC59 hold resistance to TriMV up to 21 °C. Molecular marker results suggested that the resistance in C.I.15092 is most probably conditioned by the resistance gene Wsm1 and additional gene(s) other than Wsm2 and Wsm3.  相似文献

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of age, body size and sex on feeding rate of the predatory coccinellid Cryptolaemus montrouzieri Mulsant (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae). The body size of the adult C. montrouzieri did not influence the feeding rate in either sex and the large body size was more common in both sexes. A significant increase in feeding (4.64 mealybugs/ day) and excretion (47.91 excreta deposits/ day) was observed in females compared with males (2.47 mealybgs/ day and 25.78 excreta deposits/ day, respectively) under mated conditions. The feeding rate throughout adulthood showed an inverse trend with age in both sexes and the curvilinear relationship explained much of the variability in the feeding response in relation to age. The feeding differences in relation to age, body size as well as sex of adult C. montrouzieri are discussed in detail.  相似文献
