Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) is an important non-food
narcotic cash crop, belongs to family Solanaceae. India
stands second in tobacco production and exports in the world
(Krishnamurthy, 2011). Tobacco being a long duration crop
passes through various biotic and abiotic stresses. Among
various biotic stresses, insect pests are responsible in causing
quantitative and qualitative damage to seeds, seedlings, field
crop and stored products. The first occurrence of mealy bug
(Phenacoccus solani Ferris) on tobacco as a serious pest
was recorded by Williams et al., (1985) in Zimbabwe. In
Gujarat, Phenacoccus solenopsis Tinsley was first reported
on cotton (Jhala et al., 2008a) and later on tobacco (Jhala et
al., 2008b). In India, mealy bug, P. solenopsis is a newly
emerging pest on tobacco. Therefore, it is essential to
develop effective management strategies to manage this
insect pest. In view of this, the present investigation on
seasonal incidence of mealy bug was conducted in middle
Gujarat conditions during the month of September 2009 to
January 2010 at Bidi Tobacco Research Station, Anand
Agricultural University, Anand.
