The studies on bioecology of Poplar leaf Defoliator, Clostera fulgurita (Walker) (Lepidoptera: Notodontidae) on Poplar were carried out at Entomological Research Farm, Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana. Biological studies revealed that the clones PL1, PL5 and PL7 had no effect on the duration of eggs, larvae, pupae and adults longevity. The egg, larval, pupal stage and adult longevity ranged from 3 to 6.42, 14.61 to 43.30, 6.50 to 55.50 and 4.93 to 7.35 days respectively. The defoliator had ten generations/year and the time taken to complete a generation varied from 27 to 94 days. Measurements of eggs, larvae, pupae and adults varied from 0.52 to 0.59 mm, 3.37 to 41.31 mm, 15.85 to 17.88 mm, and 2.87 to 3.87 cm (wing expanse) and 1.53 to 1.55 cm (body length) respectively. Pupation occurred in thin hairy cocoon between two leaves held together by silken thread. Fecundity varied from 268 - 669 among the clones. Maximum adult emergence and mating took place during 5.00 - 9.00 hours.Keywords

Biology of Asphadastis cryphomycha Meyrick was studied on Populus deltoides under screen house conditions. Duration of the egg stage ranged from 4.40 to 6.90 days during different months. Total larval period, prepupal and pupal period varied from 12.60 ± 0.15 to 19.10 ± 0.17, 2.20 ± 0.15 to 89.60 ± 0.65 (December to March), and 4.60 ± 0.15 to 8.20 ± 0.81 days. The adults emerged during 23.00 to 4.00 hours (24 hour time). Longevity of females was more than males. The average fecundity ranged from 22.60 ± 2.18 to 49.60 ± 7.36 eggs during different months. The pre-oviposition, oviposition and post-oviposition periods were recorded. The webber passed through eight generations per year. Leaf area fed by the larval instars has been worked out. Detailed measurements of the various stages were recorded.- Brachymeria Species (Hymenoptera: Chalcididae) - a Larval Pupal Parasitoid of Asphadastis cryphomycha Meyrick, Poplar Leaf Webber in Punjab

Studies were carried out during 2003 and 2004 to find out the release technology of Trichogramma chilonis Ishii (weekly releases from July to October @ 1, 50, 000 ha) for the management of cotton bollworms. Releases as tricho-card (100, 150 and 200 points/ ha) were compared with adult releases. On the basis of incidencc of bollworms among fruiting bodies (17.63 and 16.79%), green bolls (26.87 and 14.14%), parasitization of Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner) eggs (17.41 and 19.64%) and seed cotton yield (8.24 and 9.26 q/ha). The releases as adult proved better. Releases at 200 points/ ha was better than releases at 100 and 150 points/ha.Keywords

The role of trap crops on the parasitisation efficiency of TricllOgramma chilonis was studied at farmer's field at village Khuban (Distt. Ferozepur). Maize, sorghum, pearl millet and marigold were tested as trap crops. One row of trap crop was grown after every 20 rows of cotton crop along with pure crop of cotton. The egg parasitoid was released 13 times during July to September at weekly interval @ 1, 50,000 per hectare. Need based applications of comparatively safe insecticides were also made. The highest mean parasitization (10.48%) was observed when sorghum was used as trap crop and it was significantly higher than all other treatment. The parasitisation when marigold was used as trap crop was also higher (8.08 %) than pure cotton. The mean incidence among green bolls was lowest (2.74 %) when sorghum was used as trap crop and it was significantly lower than other treatments except when marigold (3.52 %) and pearl-millet (3.8 %). The seed cotton yield in pure cotton was lowest (13 q/ha) which was on par with maize (13.1 q/ha) but these were significantly lower than other treatments. The yield was significantly highest (14.8 ql ha) when sorghum was used as trap crop.Keywords
