    (Banda University of Agriculture & Technology, Banda – 210001 Uttar Pradesh (India)., 2022-08-17) Singh, Happy; Singh, B.K.
    Oilseed crops generally are one of the most important crops in the world. Their role in human diet and industrial application cannot be underestimated. linseed crop are crop with high potentials to improve human diets, prevent malnutrition and food insecurity and to provide employment through income generation in the society. Various factors responsible for low yield of linseed as compared to potential yield. the linseed bud fly, (Dasineura lini) is one of the major biotic constraint in increasing production and productivity of linseed crop throughout the world. Injudicious use of pesticides against this destructive insect further ignites the problem of resistance, resurgence and environmental and ecological imbalances. Present investigation envisaged to “Study on population dynamics and management of bud fly (Dasineura lini) in linseed’’. Experiments were conducted at Students Experimental farm of Banda University of Agricultural & Technology, Banda. Various observations were recorded viz. population dynamics of bud fly (Dasineura lini), effect of insecticides and botanicals against bud fly of linseed crop. percent bud infestation, yield of linseed and benefit: cost ratio. The lowest percent bud infestation was recorded throughout the cropping period with 1 st November date of sown crop and bud infestation was recorded at bud initiation to dough stage. The highest percent bud infestation was recorded at third date (30th November) of sown crop. Imidachloprid 17.8 SL is the best treatment as it exhibits lowest bud infestation, highest yield and highest benefit cost ratio were recorded. It is advisable to sown the crop in the early of November and when insect population reached at ETL, application of Imidachloprid give better result.

    (Banda University of Agriculture & Technology, Banda-210001, Uttar Pradesh, India, 2022-09-08) Srivastava, Mr. Aakash; Singh, S.K.
    To observe the diversity and abundance of termites a field experiment was conducted at Hamirpur and Chitrakoot in Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh during 2021-22. Two transects of 100m x100m were laid out in each village in cultivated and uncultivated area, transect was divided into 20 sections of 5m x 2m from which termite samples were collected using the ‗X‘ pattern along with the soil samples. Total six termite species namely Odontotermes obesus, O.gurdaspurensis. O. brunneus, O. redemanni, O. globicola, and Microtermes mycophagus were identified in 110 samples from Hamirpur and Chitrakoot district. The Average number of termite varied from 15 to 52 both cultivated and uncultivated land of Hamirpur during time period of 0-15 to 0-90 minutes. However, the average no. of termites was 14 to 57 at cultivated and uncultivated land of Chitrakoot district during the same time period. All the identified termites belong to the single sub-family Macrotermitinae of the family Termitidae. The highest and the lowest termite abundance encountered was 4 and 1, respectively and the number of termite abundance in uncultivated land was higher in comparison to cultivated land. The abundance of termite in cultivated and uncultivated land of Hamirpur and uncultivated land of Chitrakoot had significant correlation with the organic carbon and organic matter. whereas it has non-significant negative correlation with the cultivated land of Chitrakoot. Shannon index expressed that O. obesus was the most dominant species in the cultivated and uncultivated land of Chitrakoot and in cultivated land of Hamirpur. In uncultivated land of Hamirpur O. gurdaspurensis was dominant.

    SEASONAL INCIDENCE OF TOBACCO CATERPILLAR AND AMERICAN BOLLWORM IN GROUNDNUT AND BIO-EFFICACY OF NOVEL INSECTICIDES AGAINST BOLLWORM COMPLEX
    (Banda University of Agriculture &Technology, Banda-210001, Uttar Pradesh (India), 2022-08-25) Jagmohan; Mishra, Mukesh Kumar
    The present investigations were carried out at Research Block of College of Agriculture, BUAT, Banda during Kharif 2021 for study the incidence of two important defoliators viz., Tobacco caterpillar, S. litura and American bollworm, H. armigera on groundnut variety Dharani. The result revealed the tobacco caterpillar first noticed on early stage of the crop followed by American bollworm and continued till harvest. The incidence of both the insect-pests was fluctuating under varying weather conditions. Of these, S. litura initiated with mean larval population of 0.21 plant-1 and reached it maximum (7.01 larvae plant-1 ) in last week of September (39thSW), Whereas H. armigera initiated with mean larval population of 0.19 plant-1 in 4thweek of August (34thSW) and reached to its maximum (5.02 larvae plant-1 ) in first week of October (40thSW). The meteorological variable had non-significant correlation except maximum relative humidity. The temperature (max. & min.) and minimum RH had positive correlation whereas the rainfall had negative correlation with larval population of S. litura. However, the H. armigera had positive correlation with max. temp. and max. RH, whereas it had negative correlation with min. temp., min RH and rainfall. Two predator species viz., coccinellids and spiders were recorded at different stages of the crop growth. The coccinellids were first noticed in 3rdweek of August (33rdSW) however, appearance of spiders was first noticed in 32ndSW. The results revealed that population of natural predators was gradually increased with an increase of the larval population bollworm species and significantly correlated. Among tested insecticides, chlorantraniliprole 18.5 SC @ 30g a.i. ha-1 followed by cyantraniliprole 10 OD @ 90g a.i. ha-1 and novaluron 5.25 + indoxacarb 4.5 SC @ 39.38+33.77g a.i. ha-1were found most effective against S. litura and H. armigera, that significantly reduced the larval population with maximum per cent field bioefficacy in groundnut. The maximum yield (22.37 qha-1 ), increase over control (52.00 per cent), net return (Rs.55765.00 ha-1 ) were recorded from chlorantraniliprole 18.5 SC followed by cyantraniliprole 10 OD and novaluron 5.25 + indoxacarb 4.5 SC. Based on cost: benefit ratio, chlorantraniliprole 18.5 SC (1:6.80) was most economical followed by flubendiamide 20 WG (1:5:12) and lambda cyhalothrin 5 EC (1:3.92).

Biotic constraints for productivity in subsistence crop protection pattern. A field experiment was conducted at the Experimental Farm of Entomology, Banda University of Agriculture& Technology, Banda 210001 during Kharif season of 2021- 2022. Six insect pests were recorded viz. pod borer (Helicoverpa armigera), shoot and fruit borer (Earias vittella), semilooper (Anomis flava) and in sucking group, three insect pests viz. whitefly (Bemisiatabaci), jassid (Amrascabiguttula biguttula) and aphid (Aphis gossypii) were observed on okra. Among these insect pests, E. vittela and H. armigera were key pest of okra. The maximum and minimum temperature had non-significant positive correlation (0.736NS and (0.069NS) respectively, with the larval population of the E. vittella. maximum temperature had non-significant correlation (0.684NS) with the larval population of the H. armigera, however, minimum temperature, relative humidity and wind velocity had non-significant correlation (- 0.226NS), (-0.294NS) and (0.723NS) respectively. At 5th day after 1st spray, in order to reduction of E. vittela larval population, chlorantraniliprole and cyantraniliprole were at par to each other and both treatments were significantly superior over rest of the treatments, whereas, all the chemical treatments were significantly superior over the control. Similar trends were observed at 10th day after 1st spray and almost similar trends were observed at 5th day and 10th day after 2 nd spray. At 5th day after 1st spray, in order to reduction of H. armigeralarval population, chlorantraniliprole and cyantraniliprole were at par to each other and both these treatments were significantly superior over rest of the treatments. All the treatments were significantly superior over control. Similar trends were observed at 10th day after 1st spray and almost similar trends were observed at 5th day and 10th day after 2nd spray. The field bio-efficacy of chlorantraniliprole, cyantraniliprole, flubendiamide, spinetoram, emamectin benzoate and indoxacarb were statistically at par to each other. The marketable yield of chlorantraniliprole and cyantraniliprole were at par to each other and both these treatments were significantly superior over rest of the treatments.

    CHARACTERIZATION OF WILD VIGNA SPECIES FOR SEEDLING WATER-LOGGING TOLERANCE AS REVEALED BY PHYSIO-CHEMICAL AND EXPRESSION PROFILING
    (Banda University of Agriculture & Technology, Banda-210001, Uttar Pradesh, India, 2022-08-24) Kumar I, Sandeep; Singh, C.M.
    Mungbean is the most important short duration grain legume. It is consumed as food and feed, fodder and manure crop. It has wider adaptability to array of environmental conditions, shorter life cycle and improves the soil health through symbiosis. These features indicated that there is an ample scope of vertical and horizontal expansion of mungbean worldwide. However, it is much weather sensitive crop in which water logging at early crop growth stage caused sever plant loss and stunted growth. The development of water logging tolerant mungbean varieties required the potential donors. The crop wild relatives (CWRs) and cross species Vigna possessed improved tolerance can be identified and introgressed in mungbean. The 32 Vigna accessions including cultivated and wild belong to nine different species were evaluated and six genotypes namely PRR 2008-2, PRR 2008-2-1, TCR-93, L-24, TCR-20 and W-17 were found as water logging tolerant. These tolerant genotypes had better survival, strong root system, proper shoot elongation and delayed chlorophyll degradation. The two genotypes PRR 2008-2-1 and PRR 2008-2 showed induction of adventitious roots from the hypocotyl region under water logging stres. The histochemical staining indicated the lower cell death in leaves of PRR 2008-2. The PRR 2008-2 showed formation of aerenchyma as adoptive mechanism as compare to IPM 2-3. The higher activity of ADH, proline and O2 were was recorded in PRR 2008-2 whereas it was lower in IPM 2-3. The expression of candidate genes and transcriptional factors provides a fundamental resources for understanding signaling behaviour, hormonal regulation and antioxidant homeostatsis involved in water logging tolerance.

    STUDIES ON HETEROSIS AND COMBINING ABILITY IN FIELD PEA (Pisum sativum var. arvense)
    (BANDA UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURE & TECHNOLOGY, BANDA, UTTAR PRADESH, INDIA, 2022-08-08) YADAV, INDU; Sharma, Vijay
    A diallel experiment excluding reciprocals entitled “Studies on heterosis and combining ability in field pea (Pisum sativum var. arvense)” was conducted during the rabi season of 2021-22 at the P.G. Research Farm of Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, College of Agriculture, Banda University of Agriculture and Technology, Banda, Uttar Pradesh. The experimental material comprised of 8 diverse genotypes and their 28 hybrids and two checks IPFD 10-12 and Ambika. The analysis of variance reveals that the mean square due to parent v/s hybrid was significant only for plant height, 100- seed weight, biological yield per plant and seed yield per plant. The cross P-1541-16 × P1297-97 followed by P-1297-97 × P-92-97-11 and P-1541-16 × P-92-97-11 recorded the highest significant economic heterosis for seed yield per plant. In addition to seed yield per plant, combining ability analysis showed highly significant GCA and SCA effects for all the traits under study except days to maturity for GCA which showed importance of both additive and non-additive genetic component of variation. Parental lines viz., Aman, P1297-97 and P-541-16 were found to be good general combiner for seed yield per plant along with number of pods per plant and number of effective pods per plant. The most promising crosses with high specific combining ability for yield were EC-564817 × Vikas, EC-564817 × P-1426, P-1541-16 × P-92-97-11 and Aman × Vikas. These crosses could be used for development of high yielding variety through heterosis breeding programmes.
