Abstract The Scuttle fly, Eurygaster integriceps Puton (Hemiptera: Scutelleridae) is a key pest of wheat and barley. univoltine migrates from fields following harvest to high elevations; then, the spring it moves back fields. Natural enemies may have an important role in decreasing population’s level overwintering sites. In present study, adults E. were collected sites Isfahan province, Iran, O...

The Sunn-pest, Eurygaster integriceps Puton (Heteroptera: Scutelleridae), is the most important insect pest of wheat and barley in Iran. A demographic study was carried out in order to determine the effect of temperature on life history parameters of the pest. Life tables were constructed at four constant temperatures: 22, 25, 27, and 30 ± 1° C using Mahdavi wheat kernels as food. Finite and in...

sunn pest is one of the most important cereal pests that affect both grain yield and quality of cerealin iran. one potential control strategy is to use entomopathogenic fungi such as beauveriabassiana vuillemin as mycoinsecticide to control this pest. naturally infested sunn pests inkermanshah province were collected and brought to laboratory. 10 isolates were selected forfurther analysis in th...

in this study, the spatial distribution of overwintered adults of sunn pest, eurygaster integriceps puton, was investigated by using dispersion parameters and indices, mathematical distribution, and regression techniques in rainfed wheat fields by sample size of 1 m2 in 2009 and 2010. the dispersion parameters including: mean-variance test and clumping parameter () showed that the overwintered ...
