Abstract/Description: | Atherigona soccata Rondani known as shoot fly is an endophytic pest of cultivated sorghum in the Old World. In our study, we demonstrate all critical biologi-cal events of the fly on a real-time basis using time-lapse imaging, including the endophytic larval and puparial stages. The most critical biological events in A. soccata are egg-hatching, first instar larva, pupariation, eclo-sion and post-eclosion phases. All these stages are critical because of their time-boundedness from initia-tion to completion. Any kind of lapse in terms of time delay in completion of an event prevented the insect from advancing to the next phase of life and eventu-ally proved fatal. After hatching from egg, first instar larva took a mean time of 34 min to enter the plant through the gap between leaf sheath and growing cen-tral shoot. From this moment of larval entry into the plant until total extrication of adult fly during eclo-sion, A. soccata passed its life endophytically. After larval entry, it took a mean time of 33.7 h for the plant to show first visible symptoms of withering of central growing leaf whorl. From larval hatching to first take-off of adult fly required an average of 309.6 h (12.9 days). The critical periods in the life cycle of A. soc-cata are less resilient to changes and therefore more vulnerable to external influences. Such phases in the life history can be targeted for managing A. soccata in sorghum. |
