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

Vegetables are important sources of minerals and vitamins. They are attacked by several fungal pathogens and these fungi cause severe losses to these vegetables. Therefore, a study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of biocontrol agents such as Trichoderma viride, T. harzianum, Glomus mossae and G. fasciculatium for the control of wilt disease caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopercici on tomato. There was a significant reduction in wilt severity and improvement in the plant growth parameters and chlorophyll content as a result of application of different doses of biocontrol agents. The growth characteristics also increased with the increase in the dose of biocontrol agents. Highest growth and chlorophyll content was found at higher doses per pot followed by lower doses of treatments as compared to untreated control which showed lowest plant growth.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
