Genetically engineered(GE)cotton,MON 88702,is protected against cer-tain sucking pests,such as plant bugs and thrips,by producing mCry51Aa2,a mod-ified protein from Bacillus thuringiensis(Bt).Predatory pirate bugs(Ori...
The predatory bug,Orius majusculus(Reuter),is an important predator of thrips commercially produced for augmentative releases using the eggs of the Mediterranea n flour moth Ephestia kuehniella(Zeller).In this study,w...
Mass-rearing of Orius similis Zheng on two preys,Aphis craccivora Koch and eggs of Corcyra cephalonica Stainton at three constant temperatures(22,26 and 30°C)and 60%±10%RH and 16:8 L/D photoperiod under laboratory c...
Flower thrips are one of the key pests in production of southern highbush blueberries (Vaccinium corymbosum L. × V. darrowi Camp). They feed on the reproductive parts of the flower and reduce yield. Very few insectic...
