Abstract | Increase in atmospheric CO₂ concentration expected in the near and distant future climate change scenario because of increasing emissions will change the quality of plant foliage which in turn effect the growth and development of herbivore insects. Feeding trials of Spodoptera litura Hub. for four successive generations were conducted by using the foliage of sunflower crop plants grown at four CO₂ concentrations, 550±25 ppm (eCO₂I), 700±25 ppm CO₂ (eCO₂II) and ambient CO₂ (aCO₂C), along with open field considered as 380±25 ppm (aCO₂O). CO₂ enrichment altered the biochemical constituents in sunflower foliage at both 30 & 60 days after sowing (DAS) and had lower nitrogen (20-23 %), protein (12-13 %) and aminoacid contents (15-25 %) with increased carbon (18-21 %) C: N ratio (59-65 %), carbohydrates (16-18 %) and tannins (22-25 %) compared to ambient CO₂. The total consumption of sunflower foliage by S. litura larvae was significantly higher (15-62 %) with increased larval weights (5-17 %), lower relative growth rate (12-18 %) and lower food conversion efficiencies (21-34 %) at both levels of eCO₂ over ambient during four successive generations. Biochemical midgut analysis of S. litura larvae fed on sunflower foliage of eCO₂ levels indicated the lower esterase activity, proteins and aminoacids over ambient. Strong association was noted between biochemical constituents of sunflower foliage and insect parameters at two levels of eCO₂. The findings corroborate the host-mediated effect of eCO₂ on growth and development of S. litura on sunflower and imply that the pest activity may likely increase in future climate change scenario. |
