Botanicals were tested alone and in combination with cultural practices. On the basis of the pooled means, the results revealed that three sprays of chlorpyriphos + cypermethrin @ 0.01% active substance (a.s.) in 15 days intervals was found to be the most economical, resulting in minimum shoot (2.15%) and fruit (12.95%) infestation respectively, followed by alphamathrin @ 0.01% a.s. with a highest marketable yield of 87.77 q/ha. Maximum marketable yield was received from the treatment with alphamathrin, but due to high costs involved in the use of this chemical, it took second place. Three sprays of NSKE @ 5 ml/lt. recorded a maximum of shoot (3.91%) and fruit (24.49%) infestation, respectively. However, shoot and fruit infestation was brought down and marketable yield increased to some extent, when these treatments were combined with cultural methods. It is therefore, suggested that the combination of chlorpyriphos 50% EC + cypermethrin 5% EC, being the most effective and economically viable insecticide, can be utilized as a valuable chemical component in Integrated Pest Management to manage the L. orbonalis in eggplant crop.

The adults had hairy bodies with dark brown forewings, thickly covered with scales. The mature larva was about 7 cm in length, dull brown with creamish tufts of hairs at the sides. The lifecycle was completed in 38–51 days in the month of September-October. Other related observations on biology, lifecycle and behaviour of the pest were investigated.

Initial incidence of the beetle was noticed on the 3rd week of January. The brinjal hadda beetle population reached the peak in the 3rd week of February. Decreasing trend in population was observed from Feb. to April 2009. The beetle incidence showed negative correlation with maximum and minimum temperature, and was positively correlated with minimum and maximum relative humidity.

The data on the mortality of the 2 nd instar red cotton bugs and mealy bugs show that all the treatments were highly significant over control. At 24 hours, the per cent mortality ranged between 2.20 to 45.40 and 1.80 to 87.80 for D. cingulatus and P. solenopsis, respectively. The highest per cent mortality was observed in neem excel at 0.3 per cent concentration compared to other treatments for both the insects.

Observations were taken on 4 randomly selected plants from each plot. Adults and grubs of these two species were found feeding upon early to late growth stage of all crops tested. Results from these studies revealed that, in both the study year the highest population of adults and grubs were recorded on brinjal followed by the rest of the tested host plants in the month of July and August. The weather parameters i.e. temperature (29.37oC), relative humidity (83.21%) and rainfall (70mm) found favorable for the adults to reach its peak ...

The results showed that the population of mealybug started building up from the month of May and reached its peak in 3 and 4 week of August. The population showed negative correlation with maximum temperature and positive correlation with relative humidity. Efficacy of twelve insecticides were also tested for this pest in laboratory conditions. Among insecticides tested quinalphos was found to be the most effective and buprofezin was the least in terms of mortality of second instar nymphs of P. solenopsis. Further the details of population dynamics and the efficacy of insecticides on the mortality of cotton mealybug are discussed in the present paper.

(Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) of Henosepilachna spp. were carried out for two successive years (2015 and 2016) on various crops viz., brinjal, bitter guard, tomato and winter cherry, in an experimental field of Department of Plant Protection, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, India. Observations were taken on 4 randomly selected plants from each plot by collecting various developmental stages (i.e. eggs, grubs, pupae and adults) of Henosepilachna spp. These developmental stages were brought to the laboratory and continuously kept under watch for the emergence of any parasitoids from parasitized hosts. After emergence of parasitoid from parasitized stages of Henosepilachna spp., they were collected in glass vials separately and samples were identified by the experts. Results of the study showed that temperature range of 29.10 to 31.81 oC, relative humidity between 6...

Studies were conducted on the population dynamics of mustard aphid on mustard (Brassica juncea L.) variety Varuna in relation to weather parameters (Temperature and Relative humidity) in rabi cropping season during 2015-16 at experimental field of Faculty of Agricultural Sciences, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh (Uttar Pradesh). The natural appearance of mustard aphid was observed from 3 standard week and lasted up to 11 standard week. The study revealed that population of mustard aphid reaches its peak in 7 standard week showing significant positive correlation with maximum temperature and negative correlation with relative humidity.
