Description Not Available
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.
