Acharya N. G. Ranga Agricultural University, Guntur (AP)

The Andhra Pradesh Agricultural University (APAU) was established on 12th June 1964 at Hyderabad. The University was formally inaugurated on 20th March 1965 by Late Shri. Lal Bahadur Shastri, the then Hon`ble Prime Minister of India. Another significant milestone was the inauguration of the building programme of the university by Late Smt. Indira Gandhi,the then Hon`ble Prime Minister of India on 23rd June 1966. The University was renamed as Acharya N. G. Ranga Agricultural University on 7th November 1996 in honour and memory of an outstanding parliamentarian Acharya Nayukulu Gogineni Ranga, who rendered remarkable selfless service for the cause of farmers and is regarded as an outstanding educationist, kisan leader and freedom fighter. HISTORICAL MILESTONE Acharya N. G. Ranga Agricultural University (ANGRAU) was established under the name of Andhra Pradesh Agricultural University (APAU) on the 12th of June 1964 through the APAU Act 1963. Later, it was renamed as Acharya N. G. Ranga Agricultural University on the 7th of November, 1996 in honour and memory of the noted Parliamentarian and Kisan Leader, Acharya N. G. Ranga. At the verge of completion of Golden Jubilee Year of the ANGRAU, it has given birth to a new State Agricultural University namely Prof. Jayashankar Telangana State Agricultural University with the bifurcation of the state of Andhra Pradesh as per the Andhra Pradesh Reorganization Act 2014. The ANGRAU at LAM, Guntur is serving the students and the farmers of 13 districts of new State of Andhra Pradesh with renewed interest and dedication.

    STUDIES ON MANAGEMENT OF ANGOUMOIS GRAIN MOTH, Sitotroga cerealella (Oliver) (Lepidoptera:Gelechiidae) IN STORED PADDY
    (Acharya N G Ranga Agricultural University, 2023-12-01) A. RAJA MALLIKA; T. MADHUMATHI
    The present investigation entitled “Studies on management of Angoumois grain moth, Sitotroga cerealella (Oliver) (Lepidoptera : Gelechiidae) in stored paddy” was conducted in the Department of Entomology, Agricultural College, Bapatla, Guntur district, Andhra Pradesh during 2021-22. A total of 38 released and pre released paddy genotypes were screened for their susceptibility to S. cerealella. Screening was done in two methods viz., no choice test, free choice test based on the following parameters viz., number of moths emerged, mean developmental period and susceptibility index. The genotypes were categorized as “least susceptible”, “susceptible” and “highly susceptible” based on susceptibility index values. In no choice test the paddy genotypes viz., MTU-1290, MTU-1156, NLR-3041, NLR-30491, NLR-28600, NLR-40058, BPT-2766, MTU-1184 when screened against S. cerealella recorded a prolonged mean developmental period, lower susceptibility index (7.51-9.74) with lesser adult emergence, were categorized as “Susceptible” varieties. Similarly, in free choice test the paddy genotypes viz.,MTU-1190, MTU-1184, MTU-7029, MTU-1156, MTU-2077, NLR-3041, NLR-3083, NLR-40058, NLR-33671, BPT-1235, BPT-2824, BPT-2776, BPT-2776 were categorized as “Susceptible” varieties (7.24 - 10.05). Remaining all the genotypes were found to be falling under the category of moderately resistant and highly susceptible to S. cerealella infestation. The per cent weight loss of paddy genotypes due to infestation by S. cerealella were ranged from 2.26 to 14.78% and 0.88 to 14.28% in no choice and free choice test respectively. Similarly, the per cent grain damage of paddy genotypes due to infestation by S. cerealella were ranged from 1.67 to 12.33% and 1.33 to 11.33% in no choice and free choice test respectively. Based on the susceptibility index values 15 genotypes were selected to evaluate physical and biochemical parameters. The grain hardness, grain length, grain breadth, husk thickness of paddy genotypes ranged from 102.02 N to 55.59 N, 7.52 to 9.56 mm, 1.96 to 2.86 mm, 0.09 to 0.23 mm respectively. The protein, total soluble sugars, amylose, ash and silica contents of uninfested paddy genotypes ranged from xiv 6.13 to 9.03%, 70.44 to 78.67%, 20.87 to 35.37%, 7.13 to 11.84%, 2.91 to 6.18% respectively. Significant positive correlation was observed between per cent damage and per cent weight loss due to S. cerealella with regard to total soluble sugars, protein and ash content of paddy genotypes, whereas, negative correlation was observed with regard to amylose and silica content of paddy genotypes. The infestation of S. cerealella on paddy genotypes showed significant increase in protein and ash contents after three months period of storage. Bio efficacy of botanicals, inorganic minerals and novel insecticides against S. cerealella in var. BPT-5204 was tested by two methods i.e., by mixing with grain and by surface spraying or dusting on jute bags. In mixing with grain method, among the inert minerals, botanicals and novel insecticides, zero adult emergence was observed in diatomaceous earth, sweet flag powder, neem leaf powder, spinosad, spinetoram and permethrin respectively. Seed viability and seed germination was recorded more in diatomaceous earth (95.33 and 95.67%) followed by sweet flag powder (95.00 and 94.33%) against untreated control (79.33 and 79.00%). In surface spraying or dusting on bags method, among the inert minerals, botanicals and novel insecticides least adult emergence was observed in diatomaceous earth (17.67), neem leaf powder (19.00), sweet flag powder (21.33), spinosad and permethrin (2.67) spinetoram (4.67) which were found to be best. Seed viability and seed germination was recorded more in diatomaceous earth (94.67 and 95.33%) followed by china clay (93.33% and 93.67%) against untreated control (78.33 and 73.67%).
