Hibiscus; Tetranychus cinnabarinus; beans; castor beans; cotton; eggs; fecundity; host plants; sweet potatoes
Abstract:
... Fecundity, survival and feeding of the bean-adapted carmine spider mite, Tetranychus cinnabarinus (Boisduval), were compared on seven host plants (bean, rose, sweet potato, hibiscus, castor bean, cotton and Algerian ivy). Fecundity, feeding and efficiency of converting ingested food to eggs were consistent only on the original, best (bean) and worst (Algerian ivy) hosts. It is suggested that each ...

Abstract:
... Life tables of Tetranychus urticae Koch were used to assess resistance to spider mites in five varieties of cotton in the southern San Joaquin Valley of California. Experiments were conducted during midseason and again in mid- to late season. The most resistant variety was ‘Pima S-5' and the most susceptible was ‘Acala SJ-2'. Resistance of S-5 was expressed primarily as lower mite survivorship and ...

Abstract:
... Campylomma livida, according to tests with cotton, is both predacious and phytophagous. Bugs fed prey (Heliothis eggs) and parts of cotton plants (tips or squares) developed faster than bugs fed cotton alone and faster than bugs provided only with prey. Survival and fecundity was also higher on the mixed diet. Bugs exposed to cotton seedlings or squares did cause damage (which is described), but t ...

Abstract:
... The corn earworm, Helicoverpa zea (Boddie), is a perennial economic pest of field crops in the United States. Maize, Zea mays L., is the major host crop promoting the build-up of devastating corn earworm populations that limit full production of cotton, soybean, peanut, and grain sorghum. Resistance to the corn earworm in maize and in particular sweet maize, would provide an environmentally safe, ...
