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

By Khan MM, Srivastava BB

Kulbhaskar Ashram Degree College, Kanpur University, Allahabad, India.

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 agent
s.
