Castor (Ricinus communis L.) is commercially
valued for ricinoleic acid and non-edible oil as a lubricant,
printing inks, laxative, solvent, biodiesel, etc. Alternaria
blight, powdery mildew, charcoal root rot and vascular wilt
are major diseases that cause substantial yield losses under
high temperatures and drought conditions. Whitefly and
jassids are serious insect pests of castor consecutively for
the preceding 3 years in an arid environment. To keep
these major pests below the economic threshhold, prophylactic
bio-intensive integrated pest management module
is developed. Therein, additive/synergistic effect
encompassing host plant resistance with soil application of
vermicompost @ 2 tonnes/ha and neem cake @ 250 kg/ha
followed by seed treatment with Trichoderma viride @
5 g/kg seed, two sprays of neem oil @ 5 ml/l and one spray
each of Malathion 50% EC @ 2.5 l/ha and Dinocap @ 1 l/
ha resulted in the maximum seed yield with the maximum
net benefits in both the varieties Jwala 48-1 and GCH-7 of
Rs 13,527 and Rs 9807, respectively
