The studies on survey of H. armigera armigera infesting A. paniculata revealed that ovi positional and larval activity was observed from 3 week of October to 4 week of December. No significant correlation was found between ovipositional and larval activity with any oi tliu weather paraiiicleiti. The activity of a larval parasite Carcelia sp. [Tachinidae : Diptera] was found from 2nd week of November to 3rd week of December ranging from 2.83 to 9.3%. The maximum per cent parasitism (9.3%) was observed during 1 week of December. The studies on effect of bio-pesticides against H. armigera armigera infesting A. paniculata revealed that amongst the various treatments, HaNPV @ 1.5 X 1012 POB/h (250 LE/h) gave effective protection to A. paniculuta by preventing the larval activity of H. armigera armigera and gave considerably higher yield of foliage along with the pods.enAgricultural EntomologyManagementThesis
