Description |
Bioecology and management studies on two spotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae Koch infesting grapes were carried out during 2012-13. From roving survey it was evident that in Northern Karnataka mite incidence was severe with mean population of 18.41 ± 2.4, 12.0 ± 1.8, 11.7 ± 0.2 and 7.5 ± 0.8 per sq inch of leaf in Bijapur, Belgaum, Bagalkot and Koppal districts respectively. In Southern Karnataka population was negligible. Seasonal dynamics studied revealed maximum incidence of mites during 15th and 17th standard weeks with population of 25.5 ± 0.9 and 24.9 ± 1.4 at Bijapur and Atharga, respectively. The predatory arthropods observed were coccinellid beetle and predatory mite, Euseius sp. There was positive and significant correlation between mites and temperature where as negatively significant negative relation with relative humidity. In laboratory study the fecundity of T. urticae reared on grape leaves was 66.53 ± 4.93 eggs/female. The female and male longevity was 15.09 ± 0.56 and 8.63 ± 0.30 days respectively. The period occupied by young stages was 12.55 ± 0.82 days. Bio-efficacy studies showed that hexythiazox 5.45 EC (1.5 mL/ L), abamectin 1.9 EC (0.5 mL /L) and propargite 57 EC (2.0 mL /L) as highly effective acaricides against grape mites. With three sprays the mite incidence reduced from 185.21 to 3.67 per four leaves from hexythiazox application which rendered 355.81 quintal per hectare grape berry yield. From abamectin spray the population suppressed from 184.50 to 8.00 per four leaves where in the yield was 337.81 quintal per hectare. |
