Description |
As many as seven species Viz., Grasshopper, Cyrtocanthacris tatarica, ash weevil, Myllocerus discolor, psyllid, Psylla sp., thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis, aphid, Aphis craccivora, termite, Odentotermis obesus and gall wasp Leptocybe invasa) and a parasitoid (Megastigmus viggianii, were recorded on Eucalyptus during 2011-11. Roving survey was conducted at 15 locations, which revealed the spread of L. invasa in South Karnataka of which Hoskote and Mysore recorded highest and lowest galls, with two peak periods of adult emergence during April and November. Gall wasp, L. invasa completed five stages of development during its life cycle; the duration of I, II, III, IV and V was 14.40, 47.30, 15.50 12.50 and 30.70days respectively. Food preference to L. invasa (female and male) and its parasitoids (M. viggianii and Q. mendeli) revealed maximum survival when fed with honey solution. Fifteen eucalyptus clones/species were screened against L. invasa and grouped as immune (four clone), tolerant (one), susceptible (four clones) and highly susceptible (six clones). GCMS analysis showed twenty two volatile compounds in susceptible clone IFGTB C19. Of which, two (α - Phellandrene and 1, 8 Cineole) and three compounds (α- Phellandrene, Not Identified and 1, 8 Cineole) showed maximum response for antenna of L. invasa and its parasitoid (Q. mendeli). Whereas, in resistant clone IFGTB C-69 none of the compounds showed response. Yellow sticky trap was found effective in trapping the adult wasps both for monitoring and mass trapping. Gum with eucalyptus oil trapped maximum number of wasps (192.33 and 149.68/trap) followed by gum without oil, petroleum jelly (with or without eucalyptus oil) and automobile grease (with or without eucalyptus oil) in nursery and coppice. Parasitization by local parasitoid, M. viggianii on L. invasa was low (31.82%) in field. Maximum emergence and per cent parasitization of Q. mendeli was recorded from stage B (II stage) followed by group C (III stage) and D (IV stage). While, local parasitoid, M. viggianii was maximum in group C (III stage). Among new insecticide molecules per cent reduction of gall in nursery was maximum in carbofuran 3G @ 1 g/plant + imidacloprid @ 0.008% followed by carbofuran 3G @ 1 g/plant + thiamethoxam @ 0.0125%, imidacloprid @ 0.008%, after first and second spray in nursery and coppice.; similarly lowest mean per cent reduction of gall number was in profenophos. |
