    SCREENING OF SWEET SORGHUM GENOTYPES AGAINST STEM BORER ( Chilo partellus).
    (Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola, Maharashtra., 2018-07-19) KUMBHAR, SUSHANT SAMBHAJI.; Sonalkar, Dr. V. U.
    A field experiment entitled “Screening of sweet sorghum genotypes against stem borer, Chilo partellus” was carried out at Sorghum Research Unit, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola during kharif 2018 carried out in randomized block design replicated thrice to ascertain the 14 sorghum lines for stem borer reaction. Observations on seedling glossiness score and seedling vigour scores were recorded on 12 days after emergence (DAE). Chlorophyll index was recorded on 14 DAE and brix index was recorded at 14, 21, 28, 35 and 45 DAE. Stem borer leaf injury score and dead hearts were noted 35 and 45 DAE, respectively. Stem borer tunneling and plant height was also recorded at crop maturity. Sorghum plant samples were collected for estimation of biochemical viz., crude protein, phenol and total soluble sugar on 60, 90, 120 DAE. The data were compiled and subjected to statistical analysis. The seedling glossiness score and seedling vigour was also expressed in the scale 1 to 5The seedling leaf glossiness varies with line to line and range was 1.0 to 4.67; the lower seedling leaf glossiness score i.e. high glossy seedlings were in check IS-2205 and test line CSV 19 SS and higher score 4.67 was in susceptible check Swarna and test line SPV 2603 followed in SPV 2602 and CSH 22 SS indicating. Least seedling vigour score was showed by resistant check IS-2205 (2.00) followed in test line SPV 2605 and CSV 19 SS. The highest seedling vigour score i.e. 3.33 was expressed by susceptible check Swarna indicating least vigorous seedlings. The stem borer leaf injury rating ranges between 1.33 and 2.33. Minimum rating i.e. 1.33 was scored by resistant check IS-2205 and two sweet sorghum lines viz., SPV 2600, SPV 2604, however highest leaf injury rating 2.33 observed in four test lines and Swarna. Significantly least dead hearts were in IS 2205 which was statistically equal with dead hearts in four test lines. Highest per cent dead hearts were expressed by Swarna. Line CSV 24 SS showed nil tunneling followed with 0.45 per cent in IS 2205. The higher tunneling was in Swarna and it was statistically high than all sorghum lines. The chlorophyll index was ranged from 30.00 to 44.57 in IS 2205 and Swrana, respectively. Minimum chlorophyll index was on par in SPV 2605, SPV 2604, CSV 24 SS and SPV 2602 and maximum was in Swarna. Significant varied mean brix index were expressed by different sorghum lines and range was 2.80 to 5.49. Least brix index (2.80) showed by IS 2205 which was on par in SPV 2604, CSV 24 SS, SPV 2605, SPV 2603 and in SPH 1880 (5.49) which was not differed than brix index in CSH 22 SS, SPV 2599, AKSSV 22, SPV 2602, SPV 2601 and SPV 2600. Significantly least crude protein was observed in CSV 24 SS which was significantly least than protein in rest of lines. The sorghum lines SPV 2600 and CSV 19 SS preceding the lowest protein with 7.00 % each. High values of protein was estimated in susceptible check (10.27%) followed in CSH 22 SS (10.00%) which was statistically more in remaining lines. Total soluble sugar varied from 9.61 to 15.34 per cent among the sorghum lines and least was in resistant check IS 2205 followed in AKSSV 22 being. Highest total soluble sugar was in CSH 22 SS (15.34%) followed in SPH 1880 (15.21%). Significantly highest phenol i.e. 4.62 mg / g was noted in CSV 24 SS followed in SPV 2602 with 3.87 mg / g which was being on par in CSV 19 SS SPV 2604 IS 2205 and CSH 22 SS; however, minimum was in Swarna (2.13 mg / g) followed in AKSSV 22 and SPH 1880. Highest plant stand observed in resistant check IS 2205 which had 52.00 plants in 2 rows of 4 m each which was statistically equal with plant stand in SPV 2600, SPV 2602, AKSSV 22, SPV 2599 and SPH 1880. Maximum height was attained by the plants in line SPH 1880 and was on par in IS 2205, AKSSV 22, SPV 2603 and SPV 2601. Shortest plant observed in Swarna (127.60 cm) and it was not differed than the height in SPV 2605. Maximum yield was obtained in IS 2205 followed in SPV 2600; however, Least grain yield was in Swarna. The chlorophyll index, brix index, total soluble sugar had significant positive impact on stem borer dead hearts and stem tunneling. The, crude protein had significant positive impact on stem borer tunneling. The phenols reflected stem tunneling negatively and highly significantly. It is concluded from the results that the sweet sorghum lines SPV 2604 and SPV 2605 tolerate the feeding by stem borer larvae and limits the tunneling the plant. The biochemical like total soluble sugar, total phenol and protein content influence the stem borer damage.

    (Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola, Maharashtra., 2018-07-17) WAGHMARE, AMOL PANJABRAO.; Satpute, Dr. N. S.
    The present investigation entitled “Influence of rearing temperature and cold storage on Trichogramma chilonis (Ishii)” during the year 2017-18 at Biocontrol laboratory, Department of Entomology, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth Akola. Freshly laid, U.V irradiated 50 eggs of Corcyra cephalonica were pasted on a small yellow paper card (Trichocard) strip (4 x 3.5 cm) and such trichocard strips were kept in separate polythene bag at different temperature regimes (25, 30, 35, and 40oC) and humidity 40 ± 10% under BOD incubator and observations were recorded on different biological parameters of T. chilonis. Similarly, the parasitized trichocards were stored at 4, 8 and 12oC temperatures to study the effect on storage durability. The results revealed that maximum per cent parasitisation and adult emergence of 74.2% and 78.91%, respectively was observed at 25+1oC followed by 71.8% and 65.21 % at 30±1oC. However, the temperature of 40+1oC was found detrimental to T. chilonis recording 20.2 % parasitization which failed completely to emergeout. The developmental period was maximum (8 days) at 25+1oC. Maximum male and female longevity (5 and 12 Days) respectively were also observed at 25+1oC. Mean per day fecundity was observed maximum of 17 eggs per female/ day at 25+1oC. The progeny was found to be male dominated with a female- male ratio of T. chilonis to be 0.69, 0.74 and 0.96 at 25, 30 and 35oC, respectively. Cold storage of Trichocard stripes at 4oC, 8oC and 12oC respectively for 15, 25, 35 days revealed that after 15 days storage of trichocards at 12oC, maximum adult emergence (90.52%) and parasitisation (76.81%) were recorded. Whereas, after 25 days storage, maximum parasitisation (57.94%) was obtained at 4oC and emergence (81.75%) was observed at 8oC storage. For 35 days storage, parasitisation of 25.49% was recorded at 4oC and 21.66 % adult emergence was observed at 8oC. Storage of Trichocards at 4oC for 15 days and then shifting to 8oC for 10 days was found superior in storing of Trichocards and recorded maximum adult emergence (71.25%) and maximum parasitisation (68.18%) as compared to shifting to 12oC for 10 days. Storage of Trichocards at 4oC for 15 days and then shifting to 12oC for 20 days has recorded highest (44.22%) parasitisation and (35.89%) adult emergence.

    LABORATORY EVALUATION OF DIFFERENT HERBAL OILS AS ANTIFEEDANT AND FOR PYRETHROID RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT AGAINST Spodoptera litura (Fab.)
    (Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola, Maharashtra., 2018-07-17) WANKHEDE, MAYUR SHARAD MAYUR SHARAD; Kulkarni, Dr. U. S.
    The present investigation entitled ‘Laboratory evaluation of different herbal oils as antifeedant and for pyrethroid resistance management against Spodoptera litura (Fab.)’ was conducted during 2017-2018 in Insect Toxicology Laboratory of Department of Agricultural Entomology, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola. The study was undertaken to know the level of insecticide resistance in S. litura to selected pyrethroid insecticides and study the antifeedant activity of different herbal oils in S. litura. It also helped to know the role of herbal oils in mixture with pyrethroid insecticides against S. litura. Three pyrethroid insecticides and three herbal oils viz., Lamda Cyhalothrin 5 EC, Cypermethrin 10 EC, Fenvalerate 20 EC and Karanj oil, Neem oil, Sesame oil were used against third instar larvae of Spodoptera litura (Fab.). The results on relative toxicity of pyrethroids against S. litura revealed that Lambda cyhalothrin 5 EC was the most toxic compound against 3rd instar (F1) larvae of S. litura followed by Cypermethrin 10 EC and Fenvalerate 20 EC at lethal concentrations. Lambda cyhalothrin 5 EC was found relatively more toxic (i.e. 2.34 times) to the 3rd instar larvae of S. litura than other insecticides tested. Based on relative toxicity of pyrethroid and herbal oil mixtures against S. litura, Lambda cyhalothrin 5 EC + Karanj Oil @ 2% was found the most toxic mixture against 3rd instar (F1) larvae of S. litura than other pyrethroid-herbal oil mixtures tested. The F1 population of S. litura larvae were found more resistant (2.70 fold) to Fenvalerate 20 EC followed by Cypermethrin 10 EC (2.28 fold) and Lambda cyhalothrin 5 EC (1.46 fold) over laboratory reared susceptible (F7) population of S. litura. Pyrethroid-herbal oil mixtures developed comparatively lower degree of resistance in F1 populations of S. litura when compared to relative resistance recorded for insecticides alone. The lowest relative resistance at LC50 level (i.e. 0.90 fold) was observed in case of Lamda cyhalothrin 5 EC + Karanj Oil @ 2% mixture while highest (i.e. 2.50 fold) was in case of Fenvalerate 20 EC + Sesame Oil @ 2%. Karanj oil used in mixture with pyrethroids was most effective on supression of resistance in S. litura followed by neem oil and sesame oil. Among the treatments, maximum supression of resistance (i.e. 46.67%) was observed in Fenvalerate 20 EC + Karanj Oil @ 2% and minimum (i.e. 6.58%) in Cypermethrin 10 EC + Sesame Oil @ 2%. The maximum antifeedant activity (i.e. 61.51%) in 3rd instar larvae of S. litura was exerted by Karanj oil@ 2% followed by Neem oil @ 2% (49.5%) and sesame oil @ 2% (18.38%). The maximum feeding inhibition (i.e. 44.86%) in 3rd instar larvae of S. litura was observed in Karanj oil @ 2% followed by Neem oil @ 2% (32.74%) and sesame oil @ 2% (10.45%). From the present investigation, we inferenced that karanj oil was most effective in supressing the pyrethroid resistance to some extent and improves the efficacy of pyrethroid insecticides.
