The present study is an effort to isolate and identify the Beauveria sp. from white muscardine infected Antheraea assamensis Helfer (muga silkworm) larvae collected from rearing fields. The isolate was subjected to morphological identification followed by DNA barcoding analysis by sequencing the ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 region. The isolate was identified morphologically up to genus level. For molecular identification, the DNA was first isolated, amplified by using PCR followed by sequencing the ITS region. A phylogenetic tree was also constructed based on the data obtained from sequencing to trace the evolutionary history of the isolated fungus. The fungal species was identified as Beauveria bassiana with 98.6% sequence similarity with already documented B. bassiana strains. The toxicity of the isolated fungus was also evaluated against A. assamensis larvae. The LC50 value was determined at 96 hr and recorded at 1.1x108 spore/ ml concentration.
本研究试图从饲养田中采集的受白僵菌感染的 Antheraea assamensis Helfer(木蚕)幼虫中分离并鉴定 Beauveria sp.。先对分离物进行形态鉴定,然后通过 ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 区域测序进行 DNA 条形码分析。分离物的形态鉴定达到了属的水平。为了进行分子鉴定,首先分离出 DNA,利用 PCR 进行扩增,然后对 ITS 区域进行测序。还根据测序获得的数据构建了系统发生树,以追溯分离真菌的进化史。经鉴定,该真菌为 Beauveria bassiana,与已有文献记载的 B. bassiana 菌株序列相似度为 98.6%。还评估了分离出的真菌对 A. assamensis 幼虫的毒性。在 1.1x108 个孢子/毫升的浓度下,96 小时后测定了 LC50 值。

During kharif 2019, the efficacy of combined insecticides against the fall army worm Spodoptera frugiperda (J E Smith) in maize was assessed. Chlorantraniliprole 9.3%+ lambdacyhalothrin 4.6%ZC was the most effective. Fipronil 4% + acetamiprid 4%SC was less effective. All treatments were effective in increasing the yield- chlorantraniliprole 9.3% + lambdacyhalothrin 4.6 %ZC gave maximum grain yield (40.70 q/ ha) while maximum benefit cost ratio was obtained with thiamethoxam 12.6 + lambdacyhalothrin 9.5%ZC (1:28.33).

Cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) of Drosophila ananassae (Doleschall) was characterized and identified using gas chromatography and mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. A high % of methyl-branched alkanes were identified in all inversion (2LA, 3LA and 2LA+3LA) and inversion-free strains followed by linear alkanes and alkenes. The present work unfolds the significant patterns of variations in the isomeric forms of methylated alkanes between the inversion and inversion free strains (F-46.6; df-3, p 0.005), and non-significant between the sex (F-2.14; df-1, p 0.2394). But in linear alkanes shows significant variation between the inversion strains (F-30.49; df-3, p 0.009) and between the male and female (F-115.45; df-1, p 0.001) was observed. In particular there is a significant correlation between the chromosomal inversion and synthesis of CHCs in D. ananassae. Unique blend of CHCs in Drosophila performs dual role as desiccation resistance and act as chemical signalling molecule. Linear alkanes are majorly involved in desiccation resistance but in methyl- branched CHCs length variation is a key determinant of desiccation resistance. Presence of longer methyl- branched alkanes and higher desiccation resistance, shorter the carbon chain length act as a signalling molecules. The current study revealed the influence of chromosomal inversion on the cuticular hydrocarbon profile in D. ananassae.

Bees use sun’s position for navigation and thus a solar eclipse may affect this capability. Present study was conducted during partial solar eclipse on June 21, 2020 at Ludhiana, Punjab. Apis mellifera L foragers’ activity at the hive entrance was recorded through a digital bee counter. Bees’ activity increased normally, i.e. 771 and 823 bees/ 15 mins coming in and going out of the hive, respectively before the start of eclipsephase. At peak obscuration it decreased slightly but non-significantly. Changes in hive temperature andhumidity might have limited the recruitment of foragers. Hence, no peak activity was recorded duringpeak obscuration, which otherwise was recorded on ordinary days at 1345 hr.

Sunflower crop was grown during rabi 2021 and summer 2022 at the M S Swaminathan School of Agriculture, Centurion University of Technology and Management, Gajapati, Odisha. Investigation has been made on diversity of different pollinating agents associated with sunflower by observing their abundance, diversity, percentage contribution following the statistical diversity indices. The present study revealed eighteen different pollinators associated with sunflower. The Indian honey bee, Apis cerana indica (F)was recorded as the most dominant hymenopteran pollinator followed by the rock bee Apis dorsata(F)from family Apidae. The foraging activity of A. c. indica was observed to be maximum during midflowering stage (1.72± 1.23 and 2.78± 1.81 bees/ capitulum/ min in 1st and 2nd season, respectively) withhighest activity during 01:00-02:00 PM (3.02 bees/ capitulum/min.) and 10:00 to 11:00 AM (4.42 bees/capitulum/ min) during first and second seasons respectively. The Apidae family members’ i.e. A. c. indica and A. dorsata have attained eudominant and other pollinators were belonging mostly to the recedentand subrecedent classes based on dominance status. The diversity indices showed mid flowering stageattracted the most diversified group of pollinators.

Silk worm Bombyx mori L is a holometabolous, lepidopteran model for investigating the effect of various molecules. The sex-limited character of cocoon color is useful for the separation of male and female pupae during commercial seed production. Fecundity is the major limitation of cocoon colour sex-limited breeds. Spermidine is a polyamine, present in all living cells involved in the growth and reproduction of many organisms. The effect of spermidine on testicular and ovarian development in the selected bivoltine sex-limited breed; APS27SL and non-sex-limited hybrid; APS45 x APS12 is studied in the present work. Results showed that foliar feeding of spermidine significantly increased pupal growth, testicular and ovarian growth, number of ovarioles and ovules in the sex-limited breed. Moreover, increased expression of Bm-tektin was observed in the testes of spermidine fed groups. Thus, the study suggests that foliar feeding of spermidine can be used to overcome the limitation of reproductive potential in sex-limited breeds.

Species abundance and diversity of predatory arthropods are important information for developing biological pest control strategies. A study that aims to determine the abundance of predators (Coccinellidae and Araneae) in peatlands planted with shallots in Tegal Arum Village, Landasan Ulin District, Banjarbaru City, South Borneo has been carried out. The method used is purposive sampling method. Selecting plots with uniform growth and plant height of shallots in one plot or beds measuring 3 x 20 m and six plots were observed using three methods: direct sampling, swing nets, and pitfall traps. Observations on species abundance of spiders and predatory coccinellids were carried out to describe the number of species and the abundance of insects in shallot cultivation on peatlands. Predators from the order Coleoptera of the Coccinellidae family observed belong to (Menochilus sexmaculatus, Micrapsis sp, Coccinella novemnotata and Scymnus sp. with 143 individuals and the highest population was found by Micrapsis sp (128 individuals). Meanwhile, there were 6 species of spiders (Araneae) from 5 different families (Oxyopidae, Tetragnatidae, Lyniphiidae, Thomisidae, and Lycosidae) with the most individuals being Oxyopes variabilis (Araneidae: Oxyopidae). The distribution index of species diversity (E) shows E> 0.6, indicating that the evenness of species on the land is uneven
