Description |
Studies on the “Occurrence and Management of Pest complex on Cauliflower” were undertaken during rabi, 2003-04 at Agricultural College Farm, Bapatla. The seasonal incidence of the pest complex on cauliflower was recorded at weekly intervals from a total of 50 plants from five different locations, ten plants per location were randomly selected and tagged for taking observations throughout the cropping period. The data with regard to the seasonal incidence indicated that December and January months were favourable for the multiplication of tobacco caterpillar, Spodoptera litura (Fab.), diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (Linn.) and mustard aphid, Lipaphis erysimi (Kalt.). The peak incidence of P. xylostella and L. erysimi was recorded during the second week of January while, S. litura during the third week of January. In the management trial, the efficacy of the treatments viz., profenophos, thiodicarb, spinosad, neemoil and their combinations with lufenuron and B.t. against S. litura, P. xylostella and L. erysimi was evaluated in a randomized block design with three replications. The results indicated that combination treatments of spinosad 0.0075 % with B.t. 0.1% and lufenuron 0.005% and individual treatment of spinosad 0.015% were the most effective in reducing the larval population of S. litura and P. xylostella as well as in giving higher yields. In case of mustard aphid, the evaluation of different treatments revealed that profenophos 0.05% and thiodicarb 0.075% individually and their combinations with lufenuron 0.005% and B.t. 0.1% were highly effective in reducing the population of L. erysimi. |
