a laboratory study based on olfaction
Larvae of Lepidopteran Manduca sexta and Spodoptera littoralis are pests of economical importance in several horticultural and agricultural crops. Knowledge of insect feeding preferences and behavior is crucial in order to find economically and ecologically sustainable solutions …
bioassays with the insect herbivores Spodoptera littoralis and Agriotes spp.
… development time and pupal weight of larvae of the Egyptian cotton leaf worm Spodoptera littoralis was studied. In a second experiment the preference of the root-feeding beetle Agriotes spp. was monitored in a two choice assay comparing domesticated cotton to other cotton …
… Feeding experiments with the plant A. thaliana, the generalist insect pest Spodoptera littoralis and the specialist insect pest Plutella xylostella have been conducted. The results showed that the Spodoptera generalist is greatly affected by the plant`s defensive system, while …
… recognition and host plant adaptation between two strains of cotton leaf worm, Spodoptera littoralis. The populations used were established in Egypt and Benin, Africa. The documentation consisted of information about (1) each of the strains development through the larval stage …
… of plant defense was tested for its effect against the generalist insect pest Spodoptera littoralis. The main hypothesis for the study was that Bacillus induced priming would enable the plant Arabidopsis thaliana to defend itself better against this insect herbivore since this …
