Abstract Background Pink stem borer, Sesamia inferens (Walker), a major rice pest, has rarely been reported to cause serious damage to sorghum in China. During a survey of insect pests in glutinous sorghum for Chinese liquor production areas in Guizhou Province, it was found that S. inferens has caused serious damage to local sorghum in recent years. Methods In this context, we assessed the adaptation of S. inferens to three gramineous crop host plants (maize, rice and sorghum) based on age-stage, two-sex life table theory. Results Sesamia inferens had the highest development time, survival rate and total longevity on rice, followed by on sorghum and maize. There was no significant difference in intrinsic rate of increase and finite rate of increase among maize ( r = 0.0702 day −1 , λ = 1.0727 day −1 ), sorghum ( r = 0.0681 day −1 , λ = 1.0705 day −1 ) and rice ( r = 0.0645 day −1 , λ = 1.0666 day −1 ), but the mean generation period ( T ) was significantly higher for populations reared on rice (53.84 days) than on sorghum (49.53 days) and maize (47.31 days). Conclusions The results of our study indicate that S. inferens was able to complete the full developmental cycle on all three host plants. This study further supports that glutinous sorghum is an adaptable host plant for S. inferens .

Abstract Background Telenomus remus Nixon is an important egg parasitoid of Spodoptera spp. pests and, as such, has potential as a biological control agent. Spodoptera litura (Fabricius) is a significant pest of many economically important crops worldwide. This study was conducted to evaluate the demographic parameters and functional response of T. remus on the S. litura eggs. Results T. remus can lay 186.90 eggs/female in the lifetime, adult preoviposition period was 0 days, total preoviposition period was 10.03 days, and the ratio of female and male offspring was 0.495 and 0.421, respectively. In addition, most females emerged from 24 h-old eggs, whereas most males emerged from 48 h-old eggs. The intrinsic rate of increase, finite rate of increase, net reproductive rate, mean generation time, and population doubling time were 0.3506 d –1 1.4199 d –1 92.45 offspring/individua, 12.91 days and 1.98 days, respectively. The net killing rate of T. remus on S. litura was 101.49 eggs/female, indicating the high capacity of T. remus to parasitize S. litura eggs. Moreover, the higher the egg density, the higher the parasitism rate by female T. remus , although there was a trend of parasitism stabilization at an egg density of 100, indicating a type II functional response curve for this parasitoid. Conclusion Overall, these findings suggest that T. remus can be efficiently reared on S. litura eggs and shows potential as biocontrol agent for this economically important pest species.
【摘要】背景细尾夜蛾(Telenomus remus Nixon)是夜蛾目害虫中一种重要的卵寄生物，具有潜在的生物防治潜力。斜纹夜蛾(Spodoptera斜纹夜蛾)是世界上许多重要经济作物的重要害虫。本研究旨在评价褐纹夜蛾对斜纹夜蛾卵的人口学参数和功能反应。结果蠋蝽一生产卵186.90枚/只，成虫预产卵期为0 d，总预产卵期为10.03 d，雌雄后代之比分别为0.495和0.421。此外，大多数雌性来自24小时的卵，而大多数雄性来自48小时的卵。内在增长率、有限增长率、净繁殖率、平均世代时间和种群倍增时间分别为0.3506 d - 1.4199 d - 92.45个后代/个、12.91 d和1.98 d。夜蛾对斜纹夜蛾的净杀率为101.49枚/只，表明夜蛾对斜纹夜蛾卵的寄生能力很强。卵密度越高，雌蜂的寄生率越高，但在卵密度为100时寄生蜂的寄生率趋于稳定，呈II型功能响应曲线。结论在斜纹夜蛾卵上有效地饲养了沙纹夜蛾，具有作为该重要经济害虫生物防治剂的潜力。

Abstract The heavy metal, cadmium (Cd), causing growth retardation and yield reduction on rice and impacting the fitness of organisms inhabiting on rice through bottom-up effects, has become a great challenge to rice production. However, the effect of Cd-exposure on the development of an economically important and destructive rice pest, Chilo suppressalis remains unexplored. By exposing the larvae of C. suppressalis to different Cd-exposed artificial diets (0, 0.2, 1.0, 2.5, 5.0, and 10.0 mg/kg), we found that Cd exposure did not affect the larval duration or pupation rate of C. suppressalis , but caused negative effects on pupal weight at high Cd levels (5.0 and 10.0 mg/kg) and on adult deformity rate from 2.5 and 5.0 mg/kg treatments. Although Cd significantly increased the female pupae ratio, C. suppressalis did not oviposit when Cd treatment was more than 2.5 mg/kg. Meanwhile, Cd transferred to pupae, females, exuviae of pupa and eggs of C. suppressalis from Cd treated larvae, and exhibited a dose-dependent response on Cd accumulation. Our results indicated that Cd had a negative effect on rice stem borer and can be transferred to eggs of C. suppressalis , but more work is needed to further assess the bottom-up effect on third tropic levels in Cd-polluted fields.

Abstract In Ethiopia, the adoption of improved forage technology is low despite the fact that improved technology adoption can play a pivotal role in boosting livestock production and productivity in general and the dairy sub-sector in particular, thereby contributing to poverty reduction and food and nutrition security. This low adoption of improved forage technology is constrained by various socioeconomic, institutional, and biophysical factors. We conducted a literature search on the reputable journal database by searching for “improved forage technology”, “determinants of forage technology”, “adoption”, “status of forage production in Ethiopia”, and “forage production limitations”. Moreover, we conducted a literature search on key national-level research institutions, the Ethiopian Society of Animal Production Proceedings, the Central Statistics Agency (CSA) of Ethiopia, and conference proceedings and abstracts of societies and other relevant databases related to our keywords. This review article, therefore, highlights important issues that potentially constrain farmers` improved forage technology adoption and implementation in Ethiopia. Previous empirical study findings, analyzing the determinants of forage production technology adoption underscored that economic, technological, sociocultural, demographic, and institutional factors are the most important determinants of improved forage technology adoption and diffusion. Generally, to intensify the likelihood of the adoption of improved forage technologies, policymakers and concerned stakeholders should focus on strengthening the research-extension-farmers (R-E-F) linkage, adult education, and capacity building, coaching farmers to access improved forage seeds, information on forage husbandry and feeding, strengthening extension systems as well as capabilities which can improve the livelihoods of smallholder dairy farmers. Finally, the technology developer should incorporate the needs and perceptions of farmers through technology design and development; and consider the key demand and supply side during technology development, which enhances the adoption of the technology more easily. Therefore, our empirical review highlights the importance of addressing the aforementioned technology adoption constraints to improve the adoption and diffusion of improved forage technologies. This in turn, would help to improve the livelihoods of rural smallholder dairy farmers.
