| Abstract/Description: | O. longicollis third-instar grubs were inoculated with H. indica infective juveniles (IJs) at 10 to 100 per grub. Mortality was recorded at 24 and 72 h after inoculation. At 72 h after inoculation, grub mortality was 33.3% at an inoculation rate of 10-70 IJs and 66.6% at an inoculation level of 80-100 IJs. |
| Description: | India is the largest producer of bananas and plantains in the world. More than 30 insect pests have been recorded on banana (Wadhi & Batra, 1964) with banana weevil borers (stem weevil, Odoiporus longicollis and corm weevil, Cosmopolites sordidus) being the key pests which limit its production. Management of banana weevil borers using chemical control methods are available, but studies pertaining to use ofbioagents especially entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN) is meagre. EPN's have been recognized as an important biocontrol agents and serve as an alternative to chemical control. Hence an attempt has been made to evaluate the potential of heterorhabditid, Heterorhabditis indica (PDBC EN 13.3) against the banana stem weevil, O. longicollis under laboratory conditions. Petridish bioassay was conducted using H indica against third instar grubs of banana stem weevil. |
