An additional assessments were made on the impact of sub-lethal concentrations on the diet consumption and frass production on last (seventh) instar R.
"This purchase marks a significant milestone for InStar and will immediately allow us to better serve our customers," Umesh Choksi, president and chief executive officer of Instar, said in a statement.
Nymphs with parasitoid eggs attached to the ventral surface were scored as parasitized, and the instar attacked was recorded.
In the case of 6th instar, the experiment resulted in higher values of RCR and RMR in the FV + LIG + LDG regimen with RGR showing no difference between the treatments (Table 5).
Construction of a provisional debris case was similar to the recorded for first instar larvae of P ornatus (Norwood & Stewart, 2002).
He supplies the farmers larvae at the second instar, when they are actively feeding.
Larvae (1st, 2nd, 3rd instars): The larvae of B.dorsalis passes three instars, The 1st instar was emerged transparent and creamy/ white in color (fig.1d), with length 1-2mm (2.6+-0.75mm) and width 0.2-0.4mm (0.27+-0.82mm) (Table.1).
Table (2) shows that there was no effect of all samples on the larval and pupal malformation of both 2nd and 4th instars. TNTs resulted in 20 and 30% adult malformation for 2nd and 4th instars, respectively, while (Bt) caused 12.5% adult malformation for the 4th instar.
The present research was carried out to investigate the association of host-plant-preference and mortality of Phenacoccus solenopsis first instar influenced by chemical characteristics of plant species.
The Least survival percent 68.33, 35.00, 25.00, 24.17and 15.83 was recorded only from 1st to and 5th instar larvaeon T4.
Duration of the second instar was shorter than in the other ones, and Sa was the longest (Table 1).
Their eggs were removed daily and kept in Petri dishes (diameter = 8.5 cm) with the bottoms covered with filter paper moistened with distilled water, until they reached the second instar. The nymphs were then transferred to breeding cages (17.7 x 26.2 x 14.7 cm) because they begin to predate in this stage.
The total post-birth developmental time (duration from birth to the beginning of the adult stage), number of instars, and intermolt period at each instar were initially determined using 36 specimens.
