Grain legumes remain important to meet the projected targets relating food and nutritional security worldwide. The complementation of cereal-based with grain is a vegetarian diet high-quality protein. However, performance these crops severely influenced by number biotic abiotic stresses, which pests pathogens crucial affecting plants at different growth stages. Chemical pesticides are mainly employed across world for management pathogens. risk associated environmental pollution health...
Domain swapping and generation of chimeric insecticidal crystal protein is an emerging area insect pest management. The lepidopteran pest, gram pod borer (Helicoverpa armigera H.) wreaks havoc to chickpea crop affecting production. Lepidopteran insects were reported be controlled by Bt (cryI) genes. We designed a plant codon optimized gene (cry1Aabc) using three domains from different cry1A genes (domains I, II, III cry1Aa, cry1Ab, cry1Ac, respectively) expressed it under the control...
Abstract Background Nematode egg parasitic fungus, Purpureocillium lilacinum is the most effective biocontrol agent and has been widely used commercially in many countries for management of root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita . Availability indigenous potential strains specific to an agro ecosystem very crucial their successful commercial exploitation suppression nematode population. Hence, attempt was made isolate, characterize, evaluate identify P. from pulse chickpea. Results The...
An experiment was conducted to manage the eggplant (brinjal) shoot and fruit borer Leucinodes orbonalis Guenée (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), leafhopper Amrasca biguttula (Ishida) (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae), whitefly Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) Aleyrodidae) during kharif, southwest monsoon season (Jul-Oct), in 2010 2011 at an experimental farm Division of Entomology, Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi. The consisted 7 different treatments with brinjal or 'Pusa Kranti', Solanum...
Abstract Background The gram pod borer ( Helicoverpa armigera Hubner), Bihar hairy caterpillar Spilosoma obliqua Walker), tobacco Spodoptera litura Fabricius) and root knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita (Kofoid White) Chitwood) are the major insect pest nematodes infesting mungbean, urdbean other legumes. Bacillus thuringiensis Bt ) is a promising biocontrol agent that helps in managing above pest. Deploying biopesticides instead of chemical pesticides legume cultivation enhances soil...
Field experiments were carried out in pigeonpea during Kharif 2014 to 2017 for Maruca vitrata Fabricius management through farmscaping approach with 7 different border crops (5 leguminous crops; 2 non-leguminous crops) and a sole crop. The M. larval webbing per plant was lowest cent decrease webbing/plant over crop highest sorghum (2.05 60.95) as followed by pearl millet (3.29 37.39). mean number of Coccinella septumpunctata (0.77), Cheilomenes sexmaculata (0.85/plant) spiders (0.76/plant)...
The gram pod borer is a major pest of chickpea, accounting for average annual yield losses to the tune 40-50%. VIP3Aa, class insecticidal protein with different receptor binding site in insect's midgut compared Bt-crystal protein, offers an alternative protection strategy against Lepidopteran insects. Here, we report evaluation genetically engineered chickpea lines harboring codon modified Vip3Aa (cmVip3Aa) insect pest, borer. synthetic modified, cmVip3Aa gene 2,370 bp was sub-cloned plant...
The okra intercropping trial was conducted for management of leafhopper (Amrasca biguttula biguttula), whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) and fruit borer (Earias vittella). results revealed that lowest population (5.49 & 2.95/3 leaves/plant) recorded from the treatment having coriander maize as intercrop border crop, respectively during kharif 2010 2011. Similarly, (5.89 9.07/3 in marigold treatment. pooled average per cent infestation by (9.69) followed (12.40) on weight basis. While sole crop...
<title>Abstract</title> Insects play vital roles in ecological processes and are recognized as fundamental elements of global biodiversity. Assessments insect biodiversity from different ecosystems essential to knowing the status diversity. Therefore, three forage production systems (annual, perennial, grassland) Bundelkhand region India was assessed by employing sampling methods: manual sweep net collection, yellow sticky traps, pitfall traps. The experiment runs for seasons (rainy, winter,...
Maruca vitrata (Fabricius) (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) commonly known as legume pod borer is to infest many leguminous crops. In the recent rearing records of larval parasitoids from M. three species wasps have been bred, Bassus relativus (Bhat and Gupta, 1977) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Agathidinae), Phanerotoma hendecasisella Cameron, 1905 (Braconidae: Cheloninae) Trathala flavoorbital (Cameron, 1907) (Ichneumonidae: Cremastinae). Amongst these Indian wasps, B. recorded for first time a...
Background: Green gram, Vigna radiata (L.) R. Wilczek is third most important pulse crop cultivated in India. The two key insect pest viz., pod borer, Helicoverpa armigera Hubner and Tobacco leaf caterpillar, Spodoptera litura Fabricius inflicts heavy yield loss greengram. As these are polyphagous the a short duration crop, immediate management strategy such as chemical control very much essential to check its loss. current study reports efficacy of novel insecticide i.e. Coragen® 20 SC...
Background: The spotted pod borer (SPB), Maruca vitrata Fabricius is a key insect pest of major legume crop i.e. pigeonpea, Cajanus cajan in India and semi-arid tropics. Identifying SPB resistant genotype will help sustainable management attaining nutritional security. has developed insecticide resistance to most the chemical like Organophosphorous group insecticides also it expanding its geographic limits. These factors are driving forces for identifying tolerant genotypes along with...
