Behaviour and biology of Chilo partellus on maize landraces
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2014)Plants defend themselves against herbivores through activation of both constitutive and induced defences. Previous studies reported that egg deposition on maize landraces induces the release of volatiles that attract ... -
Effect of Infection by Metarhizium anisopliae (Hypocreales: Clavicipitaceae) on the feeding and oviposition of the pea leafminer Liriomyza huidobrensis (Diptera: Agromyzidae) on different host plants
(Elsevier Science, 2011)The effect of fungal infection by Metarhizium anisopliae on feeding and oviposition of adult Liriomyza huidobrensis was examined on three host plants, faba bean (Vicia faba), French bean (Phaseolus vuklgaris) and snow pea ... -
Effect of temperature on development and reproduction of Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)
(North-West University, 2018)Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is a polyphagous pest with a preference for crops which belong to the Poaceae family. Spodoptera frugiperda is native to the tropical and sub-tropical regions of South America ... -
Responses of parasitoids to volatiles induced by Chilo partellus Oviposition on Teosinte, a wild ancestor of maize
(Springer, 2015)Maize, a genetically diverse crop, is the domesticated descendent of its wild ancestor, teosinte. Recently, we have shown that certain maize landraces possess a valuable indirect defense trait not present in commercial ...
