Cannibalism and the effect of interaction were investigated using the multiplicative risk model. Aphidophagous predators and their instars were kept alone, paired with conspecifics, and heterospecifics combinations in the absence and presence of prey (aphid, Aphis gossypii). In the presence of aphids, the combined release of these predator species revealed that except for (3rd × 3rd) and (4th× 4th) intraspecific combination of both predators, the observed consumption was lower than the expected consumption. In the case of interspecific combination, the observed consumption was significantly lower than expected and it indicated the antagonistic effect of both the predators in later instars in the presence of sufficient prey population. In the absence of the prey, intra-specific cannibalism was lowest between adults of both the species and highest among C. transversalis 3rd × C. transversalis adult and C. sexmaculata 3rd × C. sexmaculata adult. The interspecific predation was highest between C. transversalis adult × C. sexmaculata 3rd instar and lowest between adults of both species. The results suggest that C. transversalis was more a successful aphid predator, being able to find aphids more quickly and consume more of them compared to C. sexmaculata. As there was less intraspecific cannibalism among C. transversalis and individual consumption is also high, it is considered to play a significant role as a biocontrol agent in aphid management.","PeriodicalId":15188,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Biological Control","volume":"37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139333767","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on the morphology and phylogeny, the fungus was identified as Trichoderma longibrachiatum isolated from brinjal leaf based on morphological characterization. The antifungal activity was evaluated against phytopathogens such as Macrophomina phaseolina, Phytopthora infestans, Colletotrichum falcatum and Colletotrichum gloeosporioides through the overlapping method, culture filtrate and organic fraction from Potato dextrose both as a growth medium. The organic fraction exhibited a significant antifungal activity, while modifications in medium composition may possess a major impact on the quantity and quality of secondary metabolites production. To achieve maximum metabolite production, the growth of the culture was optimized with screening of basal media, carbon, nitrogen, pH, trace elements and incubation period. The final optimized fermentation conditions were Minimal ereavis broth as basal media; glucose and sucrose as carbon source; Peptone and Yeast extract as nitrogen source, sodium nitrate as precursor; pH as 6; and incubation period as 7 days at 28°C. This optimization resulted in antifungal activity of 47.19-60.67% against M. phaseolina, P. infestans, C. falcatum, and C. gloeosporioides which was higher than that before optimization (43.80%). GCMS revealed distinct metabolites of T. longibrachiatum, comprising antifungal metabolites and molecules with additional bioactivities. These results strengthen ongoing research on disease control in agriculture by emphasizing the biocontrol potential of T. longibrachiatum isolated from brinjal phyllosphere against plant pathogenic fungi.","PeriodicalId":15188,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Biological Control","volume":"79 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139331990","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research aimed to study the species diversity of grasshoppers in five selected paddy field locations of Kamrup district, Assam, and assess the efficacy of aqueous extracts from the leaves of Azadirachta indica A. Juss (neem) and Aegle marmelos L. (bael) for controlling the most common grasshopper species, Acrida exaltata, found in the study locations. A total of 36 species of grasshoppers were collected and identified, out of which Acrididae was the most predominant grasshopper family, constituting 77.78% of the total collected species. The experimental results demonstrated abnormal changes in behaviour, including slower movement and increased inactivity among the aqueous extracts treated insects. Both the treated groups showed morphological and behavioural change with the more prominent effects observed from the neem-treated group. Haemolymph analysis revealed the presence of severe deformities in both treated groups, such as the spindle-shaped formation of cells, nuclear membrane disintegration, cell fusion and stacking, cytoplasmic vacuole formation, and cytoplasm degeneration. These findings demonstrate the pesticidal potential of neem and bael extracts against the Acrida exaltata grasshopper species, following its toxic impact on haematological, physiological, and morphological behaviour, suggesting the need for further research on their use as effective and environmentally friendly control measures against grasshopper pest infestations in densely vegetated and paddy fields in the region.","PeriodicalId":15188,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Biological Control","volume":"64 1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139332876","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the present study, each of six popular systemic, non-systemic and combi-fungicide molecules were used to study the compatibility with bioagent Trichoderma asperellum. The fungicides were used at three different concentrations, i.e., systemic fungicides at 0.05, 0.1 and 0.15 per cent and non-systemic and combi fungicides at 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 per cent concentrations by using poisoned food technique. Among six systemic fungicides, only azoxystrobin was highly compatible, whereas other systemic fungicides were incompatible showing 100 per cent inhibition of T. asperellum. Among six non-systemic fungicides, propineb, copper oxychloride and copper hydroxide were compatible at all three concentrations tested.

To determine the resistance status, bioassays were conducted with temephos using larvae and with deltamethrin using adults. Enzymes profile were evaluated by biochemical assays of αEST, βEST, GSTs, and remaining AChE in survived individuals to selective doses of both insecticides. Esterase patterns of larvae and adults were observed by native-PAGE. The population showed temephos susceptibility, with RR 50 = 3.06 and 83.95% mortality, and deltamethrin resistance with a mortality equal to 1.21%.
