The predatory performance of four coccinellid predators, viz., Hyperaspis maindroni, Cryptolaemus montrouzieri, Nephus regularis and Scymnus coccivora, was studied on Phenacoccus solenopsis under laboratory conditions at 27 ± 2°C and 65 ± 5% RH. The grubs of all the four predators preferred to prey upon second instar mealybugs followed by third instars and adults when given the choice and fourth instar grubs were the most voracious. The overall predation by the grubs of C. montrouzieri (170.40 mealybugs) was significantly higher than that of the rest of the species. The rate of predation was dependent on developmental period and per day consumption of grubs of all the stages decreased with increase in size of the mealybug. Mean number of P. solenopsis individuals consumed and number of eggs laid per day by the females of all the predators increased gradually with prey density from lower to higher densities, but at a decreased rate.Keywords

The biology of four important species of coccinellid predators, viz., Hyperaspis maindroni, Cryptolaemus montrouzieri, Nephus regularis and Scymnus coccivora associated with solenopsis mealybug, Phenacoccus solenopsis, infesting cotton and other crops of economic importance was studied in the laboratory @ 27±2°C and 65±5% RH. The overall developmental time (including adult longevity) of C. montrouzieri was found significantly longer (97.80±1.32 days) than the rest of the species which ranged between 58.60±2.38 and 72.40±2.11 days. Females generally had longer developmental durations than males, irrespective of the species. The females of C. montrouzieri laid an average of 510.00±9.73 eggs in their oviposition period of 62.20±3.14 and this was longer than the others. In all the species, female started egg laying in the 2nd week of their adult life and reached the peak between 3rd and 6th weeks.Keywords

Recently, Indian cotton belt experienced a devastating outbreak of Phenacoccus solenopsis Tinsley. Natural enemy complex associated with P. solenopsis was explored by conducting extensive field surveys coupled with laboratory screening of samples collected from various localities across the country. A total of seventeen parasitoids inclusive of hyperparasitoids were identified. An encyrtid, Aenasius bambawalei Hayat, was found predominantly on P. solenopsis. Promuscidea unfasciativentris Girault predominated the hyperparasitic fauna. Interestingly, Aphanogmus sp. and Anastatus sp. were recorded for the first time on P. solenopsis. Additionally, eight species of Coccinellidae and two species of Chrysopidae were recovered as important predators.Keywords

Incidence of rice pests like white backed planthopper (WBPH) Sogatella furcifera, leaf folder Cnaphalocrocis medinalis, whorl maggot Hydrellia sasakii and stem borers - yellow stem borer Scirpophaga incertulas and the pink stem borer Sesamia inferens were studied in ecologically engineered rice fields during kharif 2019 and 2020. The WBPH population significantly reduced in fields planted with mixture of crop and flowering plants (0.66 ± 0.25 and 0.83 ± 0.44 WBPH/hill) during kharif 2019 and 2020, respectively. Rice plots planted with crops and flowering plants had lowest leaf folder damage in both the seasons (0.64 ± 0.11% and 0.54 ± 0.35%). Similarly, whorl maggot damage in mixture of crop and flowering plants found significantly reduced than control plots in both the seasons. Reduced pest activity in ecologically engineered fields significantly increased rice yield, particularly in rice plots planted with crops and flowering plants (5.60 ± 0.24 and 5.27 ± 0.06 mt/ ha). Study revealed that planting of crop and flowering plants around the rice field increased the natural enemy activity and reduced incidence of rice pests which eventually reduced the yield losses caused by insect pests and increased the rice grain yield.Keywords
