Laboratory studies were conducted during the year 2005-2006 to find out the efficacy of the white muscardine fungus, Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) Vuillemin and the entomopathogenic nematode, Heterorhabditis indica (Poinar) against adult and grubs of rice blue beetle, Leptispa pygmaea Baly. B. bassiana caused a cumulative adult mortality of 56.67-80.00 per cent at 105-109 spores ml-1 and the LC50 value was 2.26x104 spores ml-1. The entomopathogenic nematode, H. indica caused a cumulative mortality of 66.67-91.67 per cent at concentrations of 5IJs to 9IJs in the grubs of L. pygmaea. The cumulative LC50 value was 3.83IJs. The mortality of L. pygmaea was found to increase with reducing dose and increasing exposure period of both B. bassiana and H. indica. The effective pathogenicity of B. bassiana and H. indica against L. pygmaea is reported for the first time.Keywords

Field experiments were carried out to evaluate the efficacy of spinosad 45 SC, a biological product from actinomycetes, Saccharopolyspora spinosa @ 45 and 54 g a.i/ha in comparison to three other insecticides, viz., lambdacyhalothrin (12.5 g a.i./ha), chlorpyriphos 50% + cypermethrin 5% @ 344 g a.i./ha and monocrotophos @ 500 g a.i./ha as check against major insect pests of rice at Regional Agricultural Research Station, Pattambi, Kerala Agricultural University for three seasons viz., Kharif 2005, Rabi 2005 and 2006. Pooled analysis of three crop seasons indicated that spinosad @ 54 g a.i./ha was the most effective against rice stem borer, gall midge, leaffolder and whorl maggot. It caused 63 and 49 per cent reduction in dead hearts and white ears, respectively. The lower dosage of spinosad @ 45 g a.i./ha reduced whorl maggot infestation by 34 per cent. Spinosad @ 54 g a.i./ha resulted in 94 per cent reduction in leaffolder and 50 per cent reduction in gall midge infestation. Spinosad treatment also resulted in 14 per cent increase in rice yield. Spinosad caused no significant effect on spider population and was safe to spiders that predominate the predatory fauna in rice. Monocrotophos and lambdacyhaiothrin significantly reduced the spider and larval parasitoid populations in the rice ecosystem.Keywords
