An extensive survey for predaceous ladybird beetles was conducted in Srinagar district of Kashmir, India, over a period of 6 months (April - September) during 2006-2007. A total of 5525 specimens of coccinellids was collected from 12 ecosystems, viz., apple, pear, plum, cherry, kale, cabbage, cauliflower, mustard, blue pine, willow, rose and Euonymus during 2006 and 2007. Out of 15 identified species of ladybird beetles, 11 belonged to the subfamily Coccinellinae [Callicaria superba (Mulsant), Harmonia dimidiata (Fabricius), Harmonia eucharis (Mulsant), Aiolocaria hexaspilota (Hope), Coccinella septempunctata Linnaeus, Calvia punctata (Mulsant), Adalia tetraspilota (Hope), Hippodamia variegata (Goeze), Oenopia conglobata (Linnaeus), Propylea luteopustulata (Mulsant), and Menochilus sexmaculat (Fabricius)] and four belonged to the subfamily Chilocorinae [Platynaspis saundersi Crotch, Chilocorus infernalis Mulsant, Chilocorus rubidus Hope and Priscibrumus uropygialis (Mulsant)].Keywords

A study was conducted to assess the functional response of different life stages of the predacious coccinellid, Adalia tetraspilota (Hope) feeding on various densities of cabbage aphid, Brevicoryne brassicae (L.) under controlled conditions. It revealed that all stages of A. tetraspilota exhibit Type II functional response curve (a curvilinear rise to plateau) as B. brassicae densities increase and the curve predicted by Holling's disk equation did not differ significantly from the observed functional response curve. The fourth instar larva consumed more aphids (28.40 aphids / day) followed by adult female (25.06 aphids / day), third instar larva (24.06 aphids / day), second instar larva (21.73 aphids/ day), adult male (20.06 aphids/day) and first instar (13.06 aphid /day). The maximum search rate with shortest handling time was recorded for fourth instar larva (0.6383) followed by adult female (0.6264). The results suggest that the fourth instar larva are best suited for field releases for the management of B. brassicae. However, further field experiments are needed for confirming its potential.Keywords

The functional response and numerical response of third instar larvae of Chrysoperla carnea (Stephens) feeding on the Euonymus aphid, Aphis fabae solanella Theobald, which is a key pest of Euonymus japonicus L. in Kashmir were investigated. The Type II functional response curve exhibited a curvilinear rise to plateau as the aphid densities increased and the curve predicted by Holling's disk equation did not differ significantly from the observed functional response curve. The attack rate and the handling time predicted by disk equation were 0.54 and 2.17, respectively. The attack rate (a) increased with the increase of prey (aphid) density. The numerical response curve had a linear rise to a plateau at fixed aphid density with varying density of C. carnea.Keywords

Functional responses of four coccinellids, viz., Adalia tetraspilota (Hope), Coccinella septempunctata L., Calvia punctata (Mulsant) and Hippodamia variegata (Goeze), were evaluated under laboratory conditions to find out how these predators responded to density of the prey species, green apple aphid Aphis pomi De Geer. All the coccinellid species exhibited a convex (Type II) functional response determined by a non-linear model. The non-linear reciprocal transformation of Hollings. disc equation was used to estimate the parameter values of the model. The large predator, C. septempunctata was seen to eat more aphids due to its greater voracity as compared to the smaller species C. punctata, H. variegata and A. tetraspilota. C. septempunctata had higher search rate than C. punctata, H. variegata and A. tetraspilota, whereas the handling time showed the opposite trend as the search rate. The results suggest C. septempunctata is the best predator for the biocontrol of Aphis pomi. Further field-based studies are required to confirm this hypothesis.Keywords

Survey on the pest incidence of pomegranate aphid (Aphis punicae) and natural enemies associated with it was conducted during 2016 at four locations each in district Srinagar and Baramulla. The studies revealed that that the highest mean population of aphids/shoot (33.99) was recorded in Srinagar, whereas, in Baramulla lower population of aphids/shoot (24.10) was recorded in comparison to Srinagar. Data further revealed that among different locations of Srinagar, highest average number of aphids/shoot (40.30) was observed at CITH and minimum (27.54) in Botakadal. Similarly, in district Baramulla highest mean number of aphids/shoot (27.63) was recorded at Sopore, whereas the lowest mean population (21.11/shoot) was observed at Dangerpora. The pest started its activity in Ist week of April and reached to its peak in the 2nd week of May in both the districts. Thereafter, the population of aphids declined gradually. The studies on natural enemies revealed that six coccinellid predators, viz., Coccinella septempunctata, Harmonia eucharis, Cheilomenes sexmaculata, Adalia tetraspilota, Hippodamia variegate and Calvia punctata and two syrphids viz, Sphaerophoria bengalensis and Episyrphus balteatus were found associated with pomegranate aphids. Among the natural enemies C. septempunctata was found to be the most dominant in both the districts. Overall, the abundance of natural enemies associated with pomegranate aphids in Baramulla was comparatively lesser than Srinagar.Keywords
