The activity of two species of aphids viz., Rhopalosiphum padi (Linnaeus) and Sitobion avenae Fabricius commenced from 1st week of January and reached to their peak (30.40 aphids/shoot) during 3rd week of March. Seven different species of coccinellid beetles were recorded, among which Coccinella septempunctata (Linnaeus), Hippodamia variegata (Goeze) and Coccinella transversalis Fabricius were observed to be predominant. Maximum population of coccinellids (8.10 beetles/m2) as well as peak population of grubs and pupae of coccinellids were observed during 1st week of April. Six different species of syrphids viz., Episyrphus balteatus (De Geer), Episyrphus viridaureus (Wiedemann), Ischiodon scutellaris (Fabricius), Sphaerophoria sp. and Melanostoma spp. were recorded in wheat during Rabi 2017-18 and their peak population (13.00 adults/5 sweeps) was recorded during 3rd week of April. Maggots and pupae of syrphids reached to peak levels during 1st week of April. Lacewing, Micromus sp. started appearing on wheat from 1st week of March and peak population (2.65 adults/5 sweeps) was recorded during 3rd week of March. The activity of parasitoid of aphids i.e. Diaeretiella sp. commenced from 3rd week of February and peaked during 1st week of April with 16.60 per cent parasitization. Natural enemies of aphids viz., coccinellids, syrphids, lacewings and parasitoids showed a significant positive correlation with aphid population. Aphids, lacewings and Diaeretiella sp. had positive but non-significant correlation with maximum and minimum temperature whereas, it was negative and non-significant with rainfall and relative humidity. Coccinellids and syrphids showed a significant positive correlation with maximum and minimum temperature. Duration of third instar grub and adult of C. septempunctata varied from 4.40±0.16 to 4.67±0.33 and 30.30±1.05 to 32.00±1.10 days, respectively. Third instar grub of C. septempunctata with 1, 3, 5 and 7 number of grubs consumed 78.54±0.59, 204.53±1.62, 307.03±1.80 and 406.64±1.60 aphids, respectively. Adult of C. septempunctata with 1, 3, 5 and 7 number of beetles fed 625.46±0.18, 1491.12±0.36, 2261.80±0.39 and 2853.21±0.99 aphids, respectively. The order of efficacy of insecticides and biopesticides against aphids on wheat was cypermethrin > thiamethoxam > dichlorvos > azadirachtin > darekastra. Higher population of coccinellids was recorded in the treatments of darekastra (6.83 coccinellids/10m2) and azadirachtin (6.54 coccinellids/10m2) as compared to synthetic insecticidal treatments ranging between 2.91 to 5.62 coccinellids/10m2. Maximum parasitization was observed in the treatments of darekastra (10.88%) and azadirachtin (10.54%) as compared to the synthetic insecticidal treatments rendering them relatively safer to the parasitoid.ThesisItem Open Access Acceptability and nutritional quality of the Indian flat breads enriched with chickpea and soybean flours(CSKHPKV, Palampur, 1997) Vasudeva, Alpna; Dhaliwal, Y.S.ThesisItem Open Access Acid exchange characteristics of the soils and wet temperate zone of Himachal Pradesh(CSKHPKV, Palampur, 1988) Sood, Rajiv; Verma, T.S.ThesisItem Open Access Acid soils of Himachal Pradesh their characterization and lime requirements(CSKHPKV, Palampur, 1979) Bishnoi, Surendra K; Tripathi, B.R.ThesisItem Open Access Adaptability and genetic divergence of Barley (Hordeum Vulgare L, Emend Bowden)genotypes in relation to soil pH and diverse agroclimatic conditions(CSKHPKV, Palampur, 1978) Bhatti, Keshav Ram; Sethi, G.S.ThesisItem Open Access Adoption gap in the package of practices for potato crop in Mandi District of Himachal Pradesh(CSKHPKV, Palampur, 2002) Sharma, Deepti; Sohi, J.S.ThesisItem Open Access Adoption of improved agricultural technology for rice crop in Kangra district of Himachal Pradesh(CSKHPKV, Palampur, 1999) Thusoo, Bharti; Sohi, J.S.ThesisItem Open Access Adoption of improved agricultural technology of maize cultivation in Hamirpur district of Himachal Pradesh(CSKHPKV, Palampur, 1999) Chauhan, Ravinder Singh; Sohi, J.S.ThesisItem Open Access Adoption of improved wheat cultivation practices in Mandi district of Himachal Pradesh(CSKHPKV, Palampur, 2000) Puran, Chand; Sohi, J.S.ThesisItem Open Access Adoption of improved wheat technology in Kangra district of Himachal Pradesh(CSKHPKV, Palampur, 2001) Dhiman, Praveen; Sohi, J.S.ThesisItem Open Access Aetiology of neonatal calves diarrhoea with special reference to enterobacterial and rotavirus(CSKHPKV, Palampur, 2000) Mahajan, Bindu; Nagal, K.B.ThesisItem Open Access Agricultural development and scope of agroforestry in tribal areas of Lahaul and Spiti district(CSKHPKV, Palampur, 1987) Guleria, Jagtar Singh; Tewari, S.C.ThesisItem Open Access Agro-Morhological and molecular characterization of elite rice genotypes of Himachal Pradesh(CSKHPKV, Palampur, 2010) Sharma, Rupika; Singh, DhirendraThesisItem Open Access Agro-morphological and molecular characterization of red rice (Oryza sativa L.) germplasm of Himachal Pradesh(Palampur, 2022-11-23) Kapoor, Rishita; Bhardwaj, NeelamThe present investigation entitled “Agro-morphological and molecular characterization of red rice (Oryza sativa L.) germplasm of Himachal Pradesh” was undertaken to identify and characterize the rice genotypes by assessing the nature of variation and extent of genetic diversity among the genotypes using morphological and molecular markers. The experimental material comprising 43 genotypes including two checks were evaluated in Randomized Block Design during Kharif 2021 with three replications. Data was recorded on grain yield per plant and various morphological traits along with reaction to leaf blast and neck blast. Genetic diversity among different genotypes was studied on the basis of morphological traits using Mahalanobis D2 -statistics and molecular analysis. The morphological analysis was done as per the standard statistical procedures and molecular analysis was done using NTSYS-pc, DARwin and STRUCTURE softwares. Analysis of variance revealed that mean sum of squares due to genotypes were significant for all the agro-morphological traits except flag leaf width indicating ample amount of genetic variability in the material under study. High PCV, GCV and high heritability coupled with high genetic advance was recorded for total tillers per plant, L:B ratio and grain yield per plant providing higher chance of selection for these traits. Grain yield per plant exhibited significant positive correlation with all the traits except flag leaf width and grain breadth. Path coefficient analysis revealed the high direct effect of biological yield per plant, harvest index, flag leaf length and spikelets per panicle on grain yield per plant. D2 -statistics grouped 43 rice genotypes into four clusters. Based on D2 statistics highest inter-cluster distance was recorded between cluster III (Sukara, Desidhan and Sukara red) and cluster IV (Kalijhini-2, HPR-2913, Phulpatas-21 and HPR 2795). Hence, it has been well established that the genotypes belonging to these clusters are genetically diverse. More the genetically diverse parents used in the hybridization program, greater will be the chances of obtaining high heterotic hybrids. Cluster III had the highest cluster mean values for most of the traits. Twenty one SSR primers amplified 53 polymorphic alleles with the mean of 2.52 alleles per primer. Furthermore, 35 genotypes were common between D2 analysis and molecular analysis showing the congruence of molecular markers with the morphological descriptors and hence, providing a powerful tool to characterize and identify the genotypes of rice. Three genotypes namely Desidhan, HPR-2913 and Sukara Red were found promising on the bases of their mean performance and resistance to leaf blast and neck blast, therefore, could be further used in rice breeding programme.
