Description |
Light trap catches of white grub beetles during 2002 to 2004 in Kumaon hills revealed thatA. dimidiata was the most predominant species.. Its relative abundance ranged between 12.78 to 51 ~96%. However, relative abundance ofsome ofthe species like H. longipennis, H. seticollis, A. tristis, L. stigma and X gideon was found to be more than 10% at least during one year out of3 years ofexperimentation. Shift in the species distribution pattern was observed in the region. H~st preference study for 25 known hosts using choice method~fur economically important species ofwhite grubs revealed that Jugians rigia for A. dimidiata; Rosa sp for H. seticol/is; A. nepalensis for M indica and Bauhinia sp for X gideon were the most preferred. The changing pattern in population dynamics ofdifferent species ofwhite grubs and their varied host preferences invites immediate attention for re-organizing the management strategies in the region.
