Chlorantraniliprole is a relatively promising insecticide for controlling insect pests in vegetables. It commonly used to manage the brinjal fruit and shoot borer (BFSB); however, its residues may pose serious health hazards have adverse effects on flora fauna. To address these concerns, monitoring eggplant was conducted alongside soil monitoring, as some insecticides can leach into groundwater. A two-year study undertaken India analyze risks ecosystem. Samples were extracted using modified...

A long-term field experiment was conducted at Chiplima, Odisha, under irrigated medium land condition during 2006–07 to 2012–13, evaluate the production potential and economics of 10 rice (Oryza sativa L.)-based crop ping systems. Rice–maize (Zea mays L.)–cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.] rice–groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.)–bottle gourd [Lagenaria siceraria (Molina) Standl.] cropping systems recorded significantly higher average equivalent yield (19.55 18.57 t/ha, respectively) than...

Bioefficacy of different entomopathogenic microorganisms, viz Beauveria bassiana, Metarhizium anisopliae, Lecanicillium lecanii, Bacillus subtilis-2 and botanical, i.e. neem oil were tested alone their 1:1 combination with against two emerging insect pests vegetables. Among the entomopathogens, M. anisopliae IIVR strain was most promising hadda beetle (Epilachna dodecastigmata), followed by commercialformulation, whereas L. lecanii highly effective painted bugs (Bagrada hilaris). However,...

Abstract Background Okra, Abelmoschus esculentus (Linn.) Moench, is one of the most important traditional vegetables in India. The crop attacked severely by sucking pests, viz., jassid, Amrasca biguttula Ishida, and whitefly, Bemisia tabaci Genn., throughout its growth period. To control these different entomopathogenic fungi (EPF), Beauveria bassiana , Metarhizium anisopliae Lecanicillium lecanii were tested alone their 1:1 combinations with neem oil against pests compared to Imidacloprid...

The okra fruit borer (Earias vittella) and sucking pests are a key limiting factor in cultivation due to their severe crop destruction behaviour. An experiment was conducted during 2019–20 assess the bioefficacy of various new insecticides persistence chlorantraniliprole 18.50 sc residues fruits at research farm ICAR- Indian Institute Vegetable Research, Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh. Among treatments, tested 30 g a.i./ha reported be effective reducing damage by E. vittella (96%), as well...

Different biophysical parameters, viz. trichomes, leaf length, angle between the mid-ribs, midribs and vein, mid-rib thickness, angle, number of leaves/plant, plant height biochemical parameter like total phenol content leaves were studied in relation to expression reaction towards hopper (Amrasca biguttula biguttula) 10 okra [Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench] genotypes. It was observed that genotype SB-6 had relatively lower trichomes on lamina (10.11), (7.17) vein (8.05) as showed highly...

Abstract Insect pests damage a large amount of agricultural produce every year. This can be mitigated to extent if it is predicted in advance. Machine Learning (ML) models game-changer terms pest management policy planning due their high prediction accuracy. To forecast the occurrence cucurbit fruit fly (Zeugodacus cucurbitae), polyphagous vegetable ecosystem, different machine learning algorithms such as multiple linear regression, artificial neural networks, support vector machines,...

Crop losses in vegetables vary greatly depending on plant variety, cropping season, geographical location, and pest damage potential. Vegetable crops are heavily impacted by insect pests diseases due to their softness, fragility short duration comparison other crops. An emerging is one that has been observed a specific crop-infested area progressively increased population over time. Emerging have the potential cause economic harm. In words, an whose position shifted from minor major or...

Solitary, polyphagous, endoparasitoid Diaeretiella rapae (Mc’Intosh) is considered as one of the prominent parasitoid aphids on several host plants under natural field conditions. However, knowledge about its affinity and preference towards different prey very scanty. So present study D. revealed differential response for parasitization to aphid species infesting vegetable crops. It preferred maximum cruciferous aphids, viz. Myzus persicae (59%) followed by Brevicoryne brassicae (51%)...

Insect pest and diseases are the major biotic constraints to vegetable production in India as they accounted about10-30 per cent of crop losses country. To manage these stresses, Indian farmers commonly rely up on spraying synthetic/chemical pesticides. However, there huge gaps between recommended scientific packages practices actual pesticide use pattern by growers. This study was designed identify those districts eastern Uttar Pradesh Bihar, considered a prominent growing belt Data were...
