Sesamia nonagrioides (Lef.) is a major insect pest of sugarcane in southwestern Iran. It also damages maize and rice in this area. Using bacterial pathogens of insects as a biological control agent in an IPM program could be advantageous. In this study, the bacterial flora of S. nonagrioides were investigated in dead larvae with appearance of some bacterial disease. Samples were collected from ...

This study aims that knowing the level of resistance several rice varieties to stem borer in organic and inorganic input paddy ecosystems. The research was conducted fields Nonong Village, Batui District, Banggai Regency, from March June 2020. used Split Plot Design method. main plot field ecosystem, namely fields, while subplots were 4 types varieties, namely: Ciherang, Cisantana, Ciliwung Tow...

abstract in order to evaluate the effect of beauveria bassiana fungus on overwintering larvae populations of rice stem borer( chilo suppressalis) was studied during 2007-2008 in rice reaserch institute, rasht. this study was carried out based on factorial experiment with rcbd in 4 replications with three factors as follow: (a1) concentration of 1× 108 conidia/ml. , concentration of 1× 106 conid...

Paddystem borer (Scirpophaga incertulas) is a serious rice pest. The damaged plants wither into dead tassel or white tassel. Such damage leads to decreased in rice production. In order to control the damages of paddystem borer efficiency, it is very important to analyze and study the regulation of population dynamics and the related factors affecting the development. This investigated the popul...

Insect double-stranded (ds)RNA expression in transgenic crops can increase plant resistance to biotic stress; however, creating transgenic crops to defend against every insect pest is impractical. Arabidopsis Mob1A is required for organ growth and reproduction. When Arabidopsis roots were soaked in dsMob1A, the root lengths and numbers were significantly suppressed and plants could not bolt or ...
