Use of neem cake at 1kg + 100 gm of Trichoderma harzianum in 3kg FYM mixed for 7 days applied to soil before planting and watering regularly gave maximum yield (13.45t ha-1) and minimum disease incidence (5.5%), next best treatment was seed treatment with hot water 51°C + 100gm T. harzianum + 1Kg neem cake at sowing time gave disease incidence (6.75%) and yield (12.03t ha-1) both of treatments are statistically at par as regards in disease incidence and yield. The results showed that these safer management tools against diseases in ginger crop gave better protection and pesticide residue free rhizome because of its use as direct consumption without any processing.Keywords

Chemical signals play an important role in communication between different organisms determining the ecological balance between host plants, insect pests and their natural enemies. Some organic acids present in host insects and plants influence host habitat location and host location by insect natural enemies. Kairomonal response of Trichogramma chilonis Ishii to seven organic acids, viz., triacontanoic, docosanoic, octocosanoic, tricosanoic, pentadecanoic, heptacosanoic and hexacosanoic acids, was studied by laboratory bioassay. Among the acids tested, triacontanoic acid elicited the highest response from T. chilonis, followed by docosanoic and octocosanoic acids. Triacantonic acid at 10 ppm concentration and docosanoic acid at 20 ppm concentration could be used successfully in IPM programmes for enhancing the activity of T. chilonis in different agroecosystems.Keywords

Life tables of two chrysopid predators, viz., Chrysoperla sp. (carnea-group) and Mallada desjardinsi (Navas) on the invasive mealybug, Phenacoccus solenopsis (also reported as P. solani), were prepared in the laboratory to determine the efficacy of the predators as biocontrol agents of the pest. The rate of mortality (qx) during 0-7 days age interval was higher in Chrysoperla sp. (carnea-group) (0.28) than in M. desjardinsi (0.22) while it was reverse during 70-77 days age interval when reared on P. solenopsis. In fact, qx was higher in M. desjardinsi (2.50) than in Chrysoperla sp. (carnea-group) (0.00). The rate of multiplication per day was 0.1159 and 0.1414 females/female for Chrysoperla sp. (carnea-group) and M. desjardinsi, respectively. The intrinsic rate of increase (rm) was found to be 0.11 for both the predators. Chrysoperla sp. (carnea-group) population multiplied 62.80 times in a generation time of 35.72 days on the mealybug, whereas M. desjardinsi multiplied 67.12 times in a time period of 29.75 days. Life table assays help in estimating the total number of the natural enemies to be released in biological control programmes. This study would be of paramount importance in estimating the total number of the natural enemies to be released in biological control programmes against the mealybug, which is exotic.Keywords

Adaptation to climatic conditions (more importantly the temperature) of an area play a decisive role in influencing the parasitoid efficiency in controlling pests. Besides, the optimal conditions for inundative release of parasitoid e.g. Trichogramma, may also depend on strain. A strain of Trichogramma chilonis tolerant to high temperature was developed in the Biological control laboratory of IARI (PUSA), New Delhi and effect of temperature was studied on parasitoid efficiency. The biological traits viz., fecundity, emergence, survivability (male&female) and female populations were studied at 25, 27, 29, and 31ºC. The fecundity and emergence were recorded highest at 27 ºC. An increase of 107.23% (fecundity), 184.50% (emergence) and 15.65% (female survival) was observed from base to 35th generation, while male survival and female population decreased by 8.2 and 1.2%, respectively. The survival of immature stages of tolerant strain of Trichogramma proved their ability to withstand the temperature.Keywords
