Insecticide Resistance in Diamondback Moth
High levels of resistance to the major categories of insecticides, ie, organophosphorus, carbamates, pyrethroids, and DDT, have been detected in the diamondback moth in Taiwan. Synergist studies have provided insufficient evidence to show significant involvement of known metabolic systems, such as microsomal oxidation, esterase hydrolysis, and glutathione conjugation in organophosphorus and car...
متن کاملEntomopathogenic Hyphomycetes Associated with Gypsy Moth Larvae
Gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar, populations were sampled in four eastern North American states during 1991 and 1992 to evaluate levels of hyphomycete infection in association with releases of the Asian gypsy moth pathogen Entomophaga maimaiga. Paecilomyces farinosus was the most abundant hyphomycete species, occurring at the majority of sites, although levels of infection averaged only 4.6% (1991...
متن کاملPopulation Dynamics of Gypsy Moth in North America
The gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar, is a major defoliator of deciduous trees throughout the northern hemisphere. Introduced into eastern Massachusetts from Europe in 1868 or 1869, it has gradually spread south and west and will soon occupy most of the hardwood forests in the eastern United States and Canada. The gypsy moth has been the subject of intensive study by scientists throughout the world...
متن کاملUnusual Degradation Pathway of Pheromone Odorants in Gypsy Moth
Gypsy moth is a major pest in Europe and North America. The closely related species, nun moth, is also a destructive pest in Europe. Both species use the pheromone cis 7(R), 8(5')-2-methyl-7, 8-epoxyoctadecane, (+)-disparlure, for sexual communication. The alkene precursor of disparlure, 2-methyl-7(Z)-octadecene, and (-)-disparlure are also of biological importance in both species. In this thes...
متن کاملEvaluation of a nonconventional insecticide and appropriate application timing for destruction of gypsy moth (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae) egg masses.
Two field studies were conducted in 2001-2002 and 2003 to evaluate the effectiveness and appropriate application timing of Golden Pest Spray Oil (GPSO) for destruction of gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar (L.) (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae), egg masses in Wisconsin. GPSO is a commercially available, registered pesticide that is predominantly comprised of a soybean-oil base (93%); its primary mode of ac...
