Zaprionus<br />

paravittiger<br />

[Z. indianus]<br />

Sharma et al. 1995 Newly emerged adults <strong>of</strong> Zaprionus paravittiger [Z. indianus] were transferred to vials containing test<br />

medium with the cytokinin plant growth regulator kinetin at 25, 125, 625 <strong>and</strong> 3125 ppm. Treatment<br />

with 25 or 125 ppm prolonged adult lifespan by 20%, <strong>and</strong> slowed development <strong>of</strong> the larvae <strong>and</strong><br />

pupae <strong>of</strong> the next generation (also raised on the test medium) by 18%.<br />

1985 Spray <strong>of</strong> 0.03% Endosulfan <strong>and</strong> Fenitrothion <strong>and</strong> 0.1% Permethrin were most effective.<br />

1985 0.05 per cent monocrotophos.<br />

1980 The activity <strong>of</strong> acetylcholinesterase preparations from heads <strong>of</strong> B. cucurbitae Coq. was inhibited by 5<br />

organophosphorus <strong>and</strong> carbamate insecticides (malathion, chlorfenvinphos, dicrotophos, carbaryl <strong>and</strong> eserine).<br />

All <strong>of</strong> the compounds except malathion were strong inhibitors <strong>of</strong> the enzyme.<br />

Shukla et al. 1984 In 2-year trials with the mango cv. Alphonso, 7 insecticides were applied in early April <strong>and</strong> mid April, <strong>and</strong> twice<br />

more at 15-day intervals. In both years deltamethrin at 0.0025% gave the best control followed by fenthion<br />

(0.05%), carbaryl (0.1%) <strong>and</strong> dimethoate (0.03%).<br />

1998 Neem (Azadirachta indica) seed kernel extracts, (seed kernel aqueous suspension, ethanolic extract <strong>of</strong> seed<br />

kernel, hexane extract <strong>of</strong> seed kernel, ethanolic extract <strong>of</strong> the hexane extract <strong>and</strong> acetone extract <strong>of</strong> deoiled seed<br />

kernel powder) at 1.25-20%, <strong>and</strong> pure azadirachtin at 1.25-10ppm were evaluated as oviposition deterrents to B.<br />

cucurbitae <strong>and</strong> B. dorsalis on pumpkin <strong>and</strong> guava, respectively, in the laboratory at 27°C <strong>and</strong> 65% RH. Neem<br />

seed kernel aqueous suspension at >=5% in choice tests, <strong>and</strong> at all concentrations (>=1.25%) in no-choice tests<br />

significantly deterred oviposition in both species. Similarly, the ethanolic extract was significantly active at all the<br />

concentrations tested for both species in choice <strong>and</strong> no-choice tests. However, with neem oil <strong>and</strong> its ethanolic<br />

extract sensitivities <strong>of</strong> the two species differed considerably. Both extracts deterred oviposition by B. cucurbitae at<br />

all the concentrations tested under both choice <strong>and</strong> no-choice test conditions. However, with B. dorsalis, neem oil<br />

was significantly deterrent only at 20% in both tests, <strong>and</strong> at 5 <strong>and</strong> 20% for oil ethanolic extract in choice <strong>and</strong> nochoice<br />

tests, respectively. The acetone extract <strong>of</strong> deoiled kernel powder significantly deterred oviposition by both<br />

species at all concentrations tested. Azadirachtin failed to deter oviposition in either species.<br />

B. cucurbitae Singh et al. 1974 The effectiveness <strong>of</strong> sprays containing the parasitic nematode Neoaplectana carpocapsae (DD-136 strain)<br />

against some injurious insects was studied. T+F18he only test species in which the nematode did not multiply<br />

were the Tephritid B. cucurbitae Coq.<br />
