Penfluron-induced
sterility in adults of black hairy caterpillar (Pericallia ricini)
and hairy caterpillar (Euproctis icilia).

An experiment was conducted during October 1987-March 1988 to
study the penfluron-induced sterility in black hairy caterpillar
(Pericallia ricini Fabr.) and hairy caterpillar (Euproctis icilia
Stoll.). Penfluron produced complete sterility
in both the insects, when males were fed for 24 hr on food containing
penfluron 0.05% concentration. Maximum net sterility (32.88%)
was recorded in hairy caterpillar at 0.0001% level, when the
treated males were crossed with treated females. The
sterility action of this chemical was more pronounced on males
rather than on females. It also affected the fecundity
maximum when the treated males were paired with treated females.
Penfluron was found non-toxic to adult stage and this stage
was found suitable for chemical sterilization. The relative
sterility of black hairy caterpillar and hairy caterpillar was
10.32, 64.18, 1.03 and 5.07, 10.51, 1.0 respectively in the
treated male-treated female, treated male-normal female, and
normal male-treated female pairings.

The
pharate adult clasper as a tool for measuring chitin synthesis
and for identifying new chitin synthesis inhibitors.
Gelman DB, Borkovec AB.
A rapid, reliable, repeatable bioassay for measuring chitin
synthesis is described. It utilizes the clasper from male pharate
adult European corn borers and measures the incorporation of
[14C]N-acetylglucosamine. Chitin synthesis is maximum in claspers
taken from animals 5 and 6 days postpupation. The system is
very sensitive to inhibition by the phenylbenzoyl ureas and
polyoxins and should be useful for identifying potential inhibitory
agents.
