Depending on the species and latitude, one to three or four generations may occur in a year. diversity. Larvae generally have two spotted yellow stripes running down the back. Talwana, Makerere University; John R. Mauremootoo, BioNET-INTERNATIONAL Secretariat. When disturbed, the larva coils up into a ‘C’ shape. There are several species of cutworms that look very similar especially as larvae . The adult moths can be distinguished on the basis of wing shape and colour but this would require taxonomic expertise. HYPPZ on line : Species (scientific name), Pests (common names), Glossary, Crops. Flanders K.L., Heinrichs E.A., Foster J.E. The name cutworm refers to the habit of the larvae, of cutting down and partly eating garden and crop plants, especially seedlings. After 10-14 days they avoid daylight and become nocturnal feeders, remaining in the soil during the daylight hours.

Himachal Pradesh is a northern state of India and is situated to the southern of the mighty Himalaya. Methanol extracts of potato tubers and wheat germ deterred oviposition (Anderson and Löfquist, 1996) and in Denmark careful weeding of onion fields is recommended as a preventive measure because the first-instar larvae cannot survive on onion plants (Esbjerg et al., 1995). Dall’Asta U. The adult moths can be distinguished on the basis of wing shape and colour but this would require taxonomic expertise. Among soil pests, Agrotis segetum (Denis & Schiffermueller) belonging to family Noctuidae and order Lepidoptera, is the major pest of potato in Himachal Pradesh.

The AgseGV-DA genome is 131,557 bp in length and encodes for 149 putative open reading frames, including 37 baculovirus core genes and the per os infectivity factor ac110. They commonly hide just under the soil or litter by day or may be found on the soil surface adjacent to severed vegetation. Agrotis segetum nuclear polyhedrosis virus (AsNPV) and granulosis virus (AsGV), propagated in laboratory cultures of A. segetum in England and A. ipsilon in Spain, respectively, were applied to plots of maize plants at the one‐ to four‐leaf stage of growth.Plots were arranged in a 6 x 6 Latin square design and infested with second‐instar A. segetum larvae (the common cutworm). Wallingford, UK. Larvae were collected on a daily basis from different tobacco fields in the vicinity of Samsun in May and June of 2007. The genome of AgseGV-DA was completely sequenced and compared to the whole genome sequences of the Chinese isolates AgseGV-XJ and AgseGV-L1. Larvae develop in 24-40 (sometimes 90-100) days, reaching 40-52 mm in length at the last 6th instar, depending on available food.
