Effects of microsporidiosis and food availability on the two-spotted lady beetle, Adalia bipunctata L., and convergent lady beetle, Hippodamia convergens Guérin-Méneville.

Natural enemies of insect pests of cotton in Orissa.

Aphids or plant lice are serious pests of various crops including rose. They damage leaves directly by sucking cell sap and indirectly by excreting honeydew, which encourages sooty mold growth. This direct and indirect damage affect plant growth and development. Beetles from family Coccinellidae feed on these aphids and reduce their population in the crop field. The present study was conducted to estimate the feeding efficacy of predatory beetle, Coccinella septempuctata on rose aphid, Macrosiphum rosae in rose garden at tehsil Mokhal Sandhuan , district Gujranwala, Pakistan. Observations on selected rose plants were made for 30 minutes during dawn and dusk in the month of March 2019. Foraging of C. septempunctata on prey species of aphid was observed on different parts of rose plant (upper and lower quadrats). Predation rate of C. septempunctata was higher in the morning and also on the upper parts of selected rose plant.

Biological control of rose aphid ( Macrosiphum rosae ) using coccinellid beetle ( Coccinella septempunctata ) under field conditions in Gujranwala, Pakistan

A laboratory experiment was carried out to determine the effect of different diets on biology of Coccinella septemputata Linneous, in the Department of Plant protection, Sindh Agriculture University, Tando Jam, Pakistan during 2011 and 2012 at 28Â±2 ÂoC and 65Â±5% relative humidity. The result showed that total larval developmental period was recorded 8.0 Â± 0.72 and 7.8 Â± 0.69 days on grain moth eggs and safflower aphid, respectively, however, no significant difference was recorded between pre-pupal and pupal period on grain moth egg and safflower aphid. The adult longevity of male (43.10 Â± 1.04 and 56.50 Â± 1.61) and female (36.07 Â± 0.24 and 42.50 Â± 0.69 days) was significantly different on grain moth eggs and safflower aphid, respectively. The larval instars were not survived on prepared artificial diet, however, only adult male and female survived (68.50 Â± 2.03 and 72.90 Â± 2.07 days) without fecundity. The result further revealed that the length and breadth (mm) of larval instars, pupa and adults of C. septempuntata was significantly varied feeding on grain moth eggs and safflower aphid.
