…A mature female can produce several clutches of between 100 and 150 eggs. These eggs hatch within a day. The three larval instars last 4-5 days and the fly will remain a pupa for another 4-5 days before it emerges as an adult. The average life cycle from egg to adult under ideal conditions of 27-30ºC lasts 9-12 days. Adults are usually 6-7mm in length with red eyes and a gray thorax containing four dark lines and a pair of…
Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) originated in western North America and has since become a major pest of vegetables, fruit and ornamental crops across the US and around the world. F. occidentalis are small (1-2 mm long), slender, soft-bodied insects that are yellow to light brown in color; adults have distinctive fringed wings. It can develop quickly, going from egg to adult in two weeks or less at favorable temperatures. Adult females insert eggs into plant tissue under the epidermis….
…Historically, programmes aimed at controlling river blindness used DDT applied to rivers to control the larvae. This was replaced with pyrethroids such as permethrin, organophosphates and carbamates. The larvicides are applied up-stream of the larval development sites and flow past the larvae, killing them. Whilst this was an effective control method, the ability of the black fly to fly significant distances, and the number of eggs a female can lay, required an ongoing programme to prevent re-establishment of the population….
…mulch, or in cracks in support-stakes or under earth mounds. The larvae hatch after 4-15 days, and are initially very active, dispersing rapidly. Over a period of 3-4 weeks, they pass through five instars. In non-diapausing individuals (i.e. during the summer), the adult moth emerges 8-14 days after pupation. Towards the end of the season, mature larvae of the last generation leave the plant in search of a hibernation site, mostly under bark, in cracks of wooden support stakes or…
…there was significant overlap between the teams and it was considered more appropriate to have a WG covering all chemistries and based on pest type. Recent Activity This is an update of the Myzus persicae resistance alert and management recommendations issued in January 2013 by the IRAC Sucking Pest Working Group. The resistance is based on a target-site mutation which strongly affects neonicotinoid efficacy. The results of surveys from 2010 to 2013 confirmed the spread and presence of the resistant…
