| the potential for controlling pangaeus bilineatus (heteroptera: cydnidae) using a combination of entomopathogens and an insecticide. | the peanut burrower bug, pangaeus bilineatus (say), is an important pest of peanut (arachis hypogaea l.) in the southern united states. current control methods for this pest, which are based on the use of chemical insecticides, have not been successful. our objective was to determine if entomopathogens applied alone or in combination with a standard chemical insecticide would provide superior levels of p. bilineatus mortality compared with the standard chemical applied alone. specifically, we in ... | 2013 | 24224248 |
| burrower bugs (heteroptera: cydnidae) in peanut: seasonal species abundance, tillage effects, grade reduction effects, insecticide efficacy, and management. | pitfall traps placed in south carolina peanut, arachis hypogaea (l.), fields collected three species of burrower bugs (cydnidae): cyrtomenus ciliatus (palisot de beauvois), sehirus cinctus cinctus (palisot de beauvois), and pangaeus bilineatus (say). cyrtomenus ciliatus was rarely collected. sehirus cinctus produced a nymphal cohort in peanut during may and june, probably because of abundant henbit seeds, lamium amplexicaule l., in strip-till production systems. no s. cinctus were present during ... | 2003 | 14503585 |
