Q.6

ICAR AIEEA PG Entomology 09 July 2023 (Shift 1) Paper (Q.66)

MCQ (Single Correct)

Insects belonging to hemotrophous group are:

हीमोट्रोफस (Hemotrophous - रस/द्रव पोषी एवं एफिडभक्षी) समूह से संबंधित कीट कौन से हैं?

Syrphidae सिरफिडी / होवरफ्लाई Formicidae फॉर्मिसिडी / चींटियां Cerambycidae सिराम्बीसिडी / लॉन्गहॉर्न बीटल Noctuidae नॉक्टुइडी / कटवर्म एवं आर्मीवर्म

Nutritional guild classification in insect families:

Family Syrphidae (hoverflies / flower flies, Order Diptera): The larvae of the subfamily Syrphinae are obligate predators of soft-bodied hemipterans (primarily aphids, scale insects, and psyllids), feeding by grasping the prey, piercing the cuticle, and imbibing the body fluids/hemolymph (hemotrophic / aphidophagous liquid feeding).
Formicidae: Ants (omnivorous social hymenopterans).
Cerambycidae: Longhorn beetles (xylophagous wood-boring larvae).
Noctuidae: Phytophagous foliage-feeding lepidopteran larvae.

Hence, Syrphidae belongs to the hemotrophous predatory group.

कीट कुलों की पोषण संबंधी विशेषताएं:

कुल सिरफिडी (Syrphidae - होवरफ्लाई): डिप्टेरा गण के अंतर्गत सिरफिडी के लार्वा (मैगट) एफिड्स और रस चूसक कीटों के शरीर में छिद्र कर उनके आंतरिक द्रव और हीमोलिम्फ को चूसते हैं (हीमोट्रोफस / एफिडभक्षी द्रव पोषण)।
फॉर्मिसिडी: चींटियां (सर्वाहारी सामाजिक कीट)।
सिराम्बीसिडी: काष्ठ छेदक बीटल (जाइलोफेगस)।
नॉक्टुइडी: वनस्पतिभक्षी इल्लियां (शाकाहारी)।

अतः सही उत्तर सिरफिडी (Syrphidae) है।

Q.9

ICAR AIEEA PG Entomology 09 July 2023 (Shift 1) Paper (Q.118)

MCQ (Single Correct)

Classical biological control is one of the important tools for the management of invasive species, as per FAO's ISPM Number:

एफएओ (FAO) के किस अंतरराष्ट्रीय पादप स्वच्छता मानक संख्या (ISPM Number) के अनुसार शास्त्रीय जैविक नियंत्रण (Classical biological control) आक्रामक प्रजातियों के प्रबंधन का एक महत्वपूर्ण साधन है?

ISPM # 2 ISPM # 2 ISPM # 3 ISPM # 3 ISPM # 4 ISPM # 4 ISPM # 7 ISPM # 7

International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC / FAO) Standards:

ISPM No. 3: Specifically titled 'Guidelines for the export, shipment, import and release of biological control agents and other beneficial organisms'. It governs classical biological control protocols, safety testing, and risk assessment for introducing foreign biocontrol agents against alien invasive pests.
ISPM # 2: Framework for pest risk analysis (PRA).
ISPM # 4: Requirements for the establishment of pest free areas.
ISPM # 7: Phytosanitary certification system.

Hence, classical biological control is governed under ISPM # 3.

एफएओ के अंतरराष्ट्रीय पादप स्वच्छता मानक (ISPM):

ISPM # 3: इसका शीर्षक 'जैविक नियंत्रण कारकों और अन्य लाभकारी जीवों के निर्यात, लदान, आयात और विमोचन के लिए दिशानिर्देश' (Guidelines for the export, shipment, import and release of biological control agents) है। यह विदेशी आक्रामक कीटों के विरुद्ध शास्त्रीय जैविक नियंत्रण के नियमों को निर्धारित करता है।
ISPM # 2: कीट जोखिम विश्लेषण (PRA)।
ISPM # 4: कीट मुक्त क्षेत्र की स्थापना।
ISPM # 7: पादप स्वच्छता प्रमाणन प्रणाली।

अतः सही उत्तर ISPM # 3 है।
