A field experiment was conducted at the experimental farm of Department of Entomology, Vasantrao Naik Marathwada Krishi Vidyapeeth, Parbhani during Kharif 2013 to evaluate the bio-efficacy of neonicotenoids against sucking pests of Bt cotton. The results revealed that significantly lowest population of sucking pests per three leaves was recorded in nitenpyram 10 per cent WSG @ 100 g a.i./ha, dinotefuran 20 per cent SG @ 50 g a.i./ha and clothianidin 50 per cent WDG @ 20 g a.i./ha were the most effective treatments in reducing incidence of sucking pests on Bt cotton as compared to acetamiprid 20 per cent SP @ 20 g a.i./ha, imidacloprid 17.8 SL, thiamethoxam 25 per cent WS @ 25 g a.i./ha and thiacloprid 21.7 per cent SC @ 30 g a.i./ha.Keywords

The abundance of sucking pest of Bt cotton was studied under different intercropping systems during Kharif 2013 at VNMKV, Parbhani, Maharashtra. The results revealed that all intercropping systems were superior over sole cotton in respect of sucking pest population. Cotton + greengram and cotton + blackgram were the most effective intercropping systems that recorded lowest incidence of sucking pests followed by cotton + soybean and cotton + sesamum.Keywords

Abiotic factors viz., temperature, rainfall, humidity etc. affect the incidence of insect pest population. The effects of weather parameters on incidence of sucking pests of Bt cotton was studied during Kharif 2013 at Department of Agricultural Entomology, Vasantrao Naik Marathwada Krishi Vidyapeeth, Parbhani (MS). The weather parameter studied regarding sucking pests of Bt cotton concluded that aphid, jassid and whitefly showed positively significant correlation with maximum temperature. Whereas, jassids and thrips showed negatively significance with relative humidity and rainfall.Keywords

Background: Synergistic effect of malnutrition, food insecurity and poor standard of living pour significant changes and poor outcome in already compromised PLHAs due to increased financial burden as well as emotional breakdown.
Objective: To assess the nutritional status , food insecurity and standard of living (SLI) with rural urban differences and their association if any among the PLHAs who have been stablished with one year of treatment.
Methodology: A facility based cross-sectional study on PLHAs was carried out in tertiary care centre of western Maharashtra with a sample size of 246. Data was collected by means of pretested semi structured questionnaire after taking Institutional clearance. Strict confidentiality was maintained throughout the study.
Results: The mean age of the study participants was 43.37 years with majority (50.9% rural, 39% Urban) were secondary class educated. Only 20% of urban and 8.5% of rural had income above 10,000 per month. Maximum (48.2 %) of rural were doing heavy works (construction/agricultural) while majority of urban were unemployed (30.5%) followed by business (21%) work. 36.9% (Rural) and 28.6 % (Urban) had spouse positive for HIV status. Even after one year of treatment, only 36.9% rural and 41% urban PLHAs were having CD4 count above 500. 49.6% (Rural) and 46.7% (Urban) were food insecure while 27.7% (Rural) and 14.3% (Urban) had low standard of living. 36.2% (Rural) and 30.5% (Urban) were undernutrition with 51.8% (Rural) and 54.3% (Urban) having abnormal waist circumference. BMI Category had statistically significant association with SLI and food insecurity in urban participants while it was not statistically associated with rural participants.
Conclusions: Inspite of freely delivered ART for one year and majority having good adherence rate, there were actionable changes in nutritional changes among PLHAs of both rural and urban areas. Neglected factors like food insecurity and standard of living needs to given special focus to affectively crub the high incidence of undernutrition among them. Immediate long term measures need to be taken to provide them adequate food and basic amenities of life with secure Job status.
