Lac, the only natural resin of animal origin is secreted by the soft bodied lac insect (Homoptera; Coccoidea; Tachardiidae) throughout of its lifecycle. Two genera and 19 species of lac insects have been reported from India and the most common Indian lac insect of commercial importance is Kerria lacca (Kerr.), which thrives on the tender twigs of specific host plants. (Sharma et al., 2006). Although a large variety of plants respond as lac hosts, the number of hosts in actual use is relatively small. Thus of the 400 plant species it is commercially cultivated on Schleichera oleosa (kusum), Butea monosperma (palas), Ziziphus mauritiana (ber) and Flemingia semialata. Since the productivity of lac depends on availability of healthy shoots on host plants, damage done other by plant pests has direct bearing on it. (Naqvi and Sen, 2008) Not Available |
