Studies conducted to determine the pathogenic efficiency and bio control potential of the entamopathogenic nematode Heterorhabditis indica against melon fruit fly bactrocera cucurbitae showed dose dependent and time dependent effect. The 24 h LD50 value of H. indica was 50.28 and that at 48h was considerably reduced (38.17). Highest mortality was observed at 160 IJs/ maggot in the bioassay. In field trials also H. indica successfully reduced pest population. A higher mortality of 65% was realized when the parasite was used @ 400,000 in 100 ml of aqua suspension. The present study confirm the susceptibility of B. cucurbitae against H. indica under laboratory and field conditions. Not Available |
