V.The present investigation entitled “Dynamicsofmajorpests of soybean under different dates of sowing’’ was carried out on Experimental Farm of Agricultural Entomology, Post Graduate Institute, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola (MS), India, during Kharif, 2016 to study the effect of different time of sowing on major pests, natural enemies, growth and yield of soybean under protected and unprotected regimes. The result revealed that infestation of girdle beetle, stem fly and counts of semilooper, tobacco leaf eating caterpillar and sucking pests (leafhopper & whitefly adults) and lady bird beetle (adults and grubs ) revealed significant differences among the protected regime (A1) and unprotected regime (A2) and different dates of sowing (B). The minimum infestation of stem fly was registered in the crop sown at 12th July and it was at par with 22nd July and 2nd August. While,the infestation of semilooper and girdle beetle was minimum at crop sown during 22nd July (B4) followed by 2nd August (B5) and 12th July (B3). The infestation of tobacco leaf eating caterpillar was reported to be minimum in the crop sown at 22nd June (B1) followed by 2nd July (B2). However minimum infestation of leafhopper and whitefly adults was recorded in the crop sown at 12th July (B3) and it was at par with 22nd July(B4), 2nd August (B5) and 22nd June (B1). The population of lady bird beetle was highest in the crop sown on 2nd July (B2) followed by 22nd June (B1). Among the various interactions (AXB), minimum infestation of girdle beetle (3.45 per cent) was noted in the interaction i.e crop sown at 22nd July with protected regime (A1B4) andstem fly (2.70 per cent) was noted in the interaction i.e crop sown at 12th July with protected regime (A1B3)..Minimum infestation of semilooper (0.45 larvae/mrl) was recorded in the interaction i.e. crop sown at 02nd August with protected regime (A1B5) andtobacco leaf eating (1.02 larvae/ mrl). was recorded in the interaction i.e. crop sown at 22nd June with protected regime (A1B1) .Minimum infestation of leafhopper (0.56 no./leaf) and whitefly (0.56) was recorded in the interaction i.e crop sown at 02nd August with protected regime (A1B5).The chemical insecticides used in this study revealed deleterious effect on lady birdbeetle population. The data on various growth parameters (height, number of branches, leaves and leaf area) pertaining to different dates of sowing (B) revealed significant differences among each other at various phonological stages (flower initiation ,pod initiation and pod development). However, maximum height of plant, number of branches, leaves and leaf area was registered in the crop sown at 12th July (B3) followed by 2nd July (B2) and 22nd June (B1). The number of pods , grains, weight of grains and yield was significantly higher in protected regime than unprotected regime.The higher pods (65), number of grains (146.88), weight of grains (13.25 g) and yield (23.81 qt/ha) was recorded in the crop sown at 2nd July (B2) followed by 22nd June (B1).Among the interactions (AXB) highest number of pods (65), highest number of grains (146.88), highest weight of grains and highest yieldwas recorded in the crop sown during 02nd July with protected regime (A1B2) followed by 22nd June with unprotected regime (A2B2) and at par with 12th July with protected regime (A1B3).ThesisItem Open Access EFFECT OF MAGNETIC FIELD AND DIFFERENT DIETS ON Corcyra cephalonica(Dr.Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola., 2017-06-19) CHANDRAWANSHI, PUJA GANESHRAO.; Aherkar, Dr. S. K.In the study on “Effect of magnetic field and different diets on Corcyra cephalonica”, Corcyra larvae were reared in Factorial Complete Randomized Design with four main treatments (magnetic field) and four sub treatments (diets) with seven replications. Observations were recorded on larval (weight, length), pupal weight, mortality, adult emergence, fecundity, egg hatching of Corcyra. The results indicate, rearing of Corcyra in magnetic field for two hrs had positive effect on Corcyra larvae on the parameters under study and was at par with control. The interaction effect of magnetic field and diet also indicates that there was good effect of 2hrs magnetic field and sorghum diet on Corcyra. The study also indicates that exposure period to magnetic field plays an important role on biology of Corcyra.ThesisItem Open Access BIORATIONAL MANAGEMENT OF MAJOR INSECT PESTS OF SAFFLOWER(Dr. PanjabraoDeshmukhKrishiVidyapeeth, Akola., 2017-07-03) TANGLE, PRAGATI DURYODHAN.; MANE, Dr. P.N.Field experiment was conducted at Oilseeds Research Unit, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola during 2016 -17 in Randomized Block Design with nine modules and three replications. Efforts were made to see the effectiveness of management practices and to work out the effective module against major insect pests of safflower. Different treatments were tested against the major insect pests, infesting the safflower at different phenological stage of the crop. Mean data revealed that, lowest plant population reduction 1.34 per cent, plant damage per hill 35.11% at 5 days after emergence and lowest plant damage 14.15 per cent at seedling stage due to gujhia weevil was recorded from normal seed rate + Phorate 10 % G @ 10 kg/ha (at the time of sowing). Next best treatments was higher seed rate (15 % ) followed by thinning of damaged plants recording 3.49 per cent reduction in plant population, 43.89 per cent plant damage per hill and and 23.93 per cent plant damage. Treatment comprised foliar spraying of Quinolphos 25 EC @ 2 ml/l at 40 DAS recorded minimum 9.19, 9.67 and 9.59 aphids per 5 cm apical twig/plantat stem elongation to branching stage of cropfollowed by Acephate 75 SP @ 1.6 g/l at 40 DAS recorded 10.39, 11.92 and 12.86 aphids per 5 cm apical twig/plant and Dimethoate 30 EC @ 1 ml/l at 40 DAS recorded 13.04 aphids per 5 cm apical twig/plant. All these were found at par. Minimum capsule borer population 0.16 larvae/plant was recorded from normal seed rate + Phorate 10 % G @ 10 kg/ha (at the time of sowing) + foliar spray of Dimethoate 30 EC @ 1 ml/l at 40 DAS + 2nd spraying of Chlorpyriphos 20 EC @ 2.5 ml/lit of water at 70 DAS at capsule development stage. The next effective treatment was normal seed rate + soil drenching with Metarhizium anisopliae 2×108 cfu/ml@ 5g/l + foliar spray of Verticillium lecanii 2×108 cfu/ml@ 5g/l at 40 DAS and higher seed rate (15 %) followed by thinning of damaged plants + foliar spray of Quinolphos 25 EC @ 2 ml/l at 40 DAS + 2nd spray with Beauveria bassiana 2×108 cfu/ml@ 5g/l at 70 DAS 0.47 larvae/plant. Higher seed yield 1542 kg/ha was recorded from higher seed rate (15 %) followed by thinning of damaged plants + foliar spray of Quinolphos 25 EC @ 2 ml/l at 40 DAS + 2nd spray with Beauveria bassiana 2×108 cfu/ml@ 5g/lat 70 DAS(T8).
