The tomato pinworm damage, population build-up, the damage and longevity of native predatory bug, Nesidiocoris tenuis in sole crop diversified (pumpkin sunn hemp as border + a patch hedgerow) were studied. Infestation pinworm, Phthorimaea absoluta was found to be highest (5.60 live mines/plant at 20 DAP) compared (1.50 mines per plant). No significant difference number necrotic rings plant obse...

J. Econ. Entomol. 72: 261-264 (1979) Potatoes grown under furrow irrigation sustained over 58 times greater infestation by Phthorimaea operCIIlella (Zeller) and 3 times more green tubers than potatoes grown under sprinkler irrigation even though foliage tuberworm populations, soil type, and soil moisture levels were similar. Water usage on a per ha basis was more efficient under sprinkler irrig...

Abstract The study was conducted at the Atomic Energy Laboratory, plant Control Department / Baghdad for year 2020-2021. aimed to synthesis of silver nanoparticles from Beauveria bassiana control potato tuber moth Phthorimaea opercullella . results showed formation supernatant B.b -SNPS fungal extract and biomass had highest absorption longest wavelengths (380 435 nm) respectively. scanning ele...

The tomato leaf miner Phthorimaea absoluta(Meyrick), earlier known by the scientific name Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) is one of most devastating global pests tomatoes. Using indigenous entomopathogenic fungi can be a promising solution to manage it. Effıcacyof EPF isolates on third-instar larvae was carried out in Ethiopia during 2021-2022. Ten were inoculated with conidi...
