Pest management in organic

Agriculture
The pest management is being done by
adopting following methods :-
• 1 Use of cultural methods.

• 2 Use of mechanical methods.
• 3 Use of bio – control agents and biopesticides.
• 4 Use of Organically acceptable chemicals

3.Installation of Bird perches 4.Use of light traps :-
Install dried twigs in the field above Kerosene lamp traps or light traps

the birds. During rest, birds predate
larvae or moth available on the crop.
5.Pheromones b. Aggregation pheromone :-
 Pheromone are exocrine secretions It attracts both sexes generally for
feeding on a food source or for
of insects which are used for
communication among different mating.
individuals of the species.
a.Sex pheromone :-
It brings together opposite sexes for
mating.
6.Use of sticky, coloured plates and other physical
traps
 Different species of insect are attracted by diff. colour.
The results indicated that yellow plastic plates coated with
insecticide were effective in controlling leaf miner.
3.USE OF BIO CONTROL AGENTS AND BIOPESTICIDES
Predators
USE OF BIO
Beneficial
CONTROL AGENTS
Insects AND
Parasitoides
BIOPESTICIDES
Microbes
1.Predators :- 2.Parasitoides :
Predators are bio-control agents Parasitoides are friendly species
those hunt/eat the insect pests. which complete their life cycle
on different stages of insect
pests.
3. Microbes :- ii. Virus as bio-control agents :-
These are microscopic organisms e.g. Nuclear Polyhydrosis Virus
which cause various diseases in the (NPV), Granulosis Virus (GV)
insect pests and pests are killed.
I.Fungi as bio-control agents : iii. Bacterial as bio-control agents :-
e.g. Beuvaria sp, Trichoderma sp.,
Hirsutella sp., etc Pseudomonas sp., Bacillus
thuringiensis etc.
4.Beneficial insects :- 3) Mirid bug:-
Plays an important role in minimizing the pest They feed on eggs and nymphs of
population. plant hopper and leafhopper Ant
1) Lady bird beetle :- 4) Earwing :-
Feed on small plant hopper, small larvae and Enters borer tunnels in search of
exposed eggs.
larvae.
2) Ground beetle :-
They are voracious and consume 3-5 larvae per
day.
4 Use of Organically acceptable chemicals
• Dashparni :-
Dashparni ark is Organic pest
and insect repellent.
Use on the faruit
Orchard,Vegetable.
Also Use on the Sucking Pest.
REFERENCE :-
• Comprehensive Agriculture.
• 1) PRINCIPAL OF ORGANIC FARMING (MANUAL) AGRO-248
• 2) COMMERCIAL PRODUCTION OF ORGANIC MANURE AND
MARKETING (MODULE MANUAL) SRP- EL-AGRO-4014
CONCLUSION :-
• Effective pest and disease management in organic production relies
on a combination of strategies that prioritize ecological balance and
sustainability.
• These include crop rotation, the use of resistant varieties, biological
control agents, and cultural practices that enhance plant health.
