| dc.description.abstract | Studies on the life table of Helicoverpa armigera Hub. and biorational approaches for its management in sunflower were undertaken during 2011-12 to 2012-13 at Zonal Agricultural Research Station, UAS, Bengaluru. Revealed that the maximum mean progeny production by female (mx) per day was 89.17 females per female on the 43rd day of pivotal age of the life cycle which declined to 9.15 females per female (mx) per day on 48th day. Life table of H. armigera on KBSH-44 from field collected life stages revealed that the per cent mortality was highest in Period I larvae and Period III larvae as compared to that in the Period II larvae. Peak incidence of H. armigera was observed during October on DRSH-1 and in November on DRSF-108, in Kharif 2012. In Kharif 2013, the peak incidence was observed during November on both DRSH-1 and DRSF-108. Totally 29 species of predatory spiders were recorded during this investigation in sunflower ecosystem, which belongs to eight families viz., Araneidae (10 species), Salticidae (7), Thomisidae (3), Oxyopidae (3), Tetragnathidae (2), Miturgidae (2 ), Clubionidae (1)and Linyphiidae ( 1). Among bio-rational formulations evaluated against H. armigera, spinosad was significantly superior against H. armigera, it recorded 100 per cent mortality at 48 hours after treatment (HAT) and 72 HAT and it was followed by profenophos. From the pooled mean of Rabi seasons of 2012 and 2013 data it observed that, spinosad based Bio-rational IPM module comprising of imidacloprid 70 WS (5 g/kg) and metalaxyl 35 WS (5 g/kg) ST + spinosad 45SC (0.1 ml/lit) first spray at star bud stage and second spray 15 days later was the most superior module by recording significantly lower incidence of major pests, highest seed yield (3602 kg /ha) and benefit cost ratio (7.59). | en_US |
