Abstract

Field experiment conducted to evaluate the toxicity of bio and synthetic pesticides to Lipaphis erysimi Kalt. and its predator, Ischiodon scutellaris (Fabricius) in broccoli crop at the experimental farm, ICAR Research Complex for NEH Region, Mizoram Centre, Kolasib, Mizoram, India showed that application of synthetic pesticides recorded 100% reduction in the L. erysimi population. Synthetic pesticides were highly toxic to I. scutellaris and resulted in 100% mortality. Imidacloprid 17.8% SL was less toxic to I. scutellaris when compared to other synthetic pesticides. Neem oil formulations were effective against L. erysimi and did not have any detrimental effect on the maggots of I. scutellaris.

Abstract

Long-term monthly rainfall observations (1986-2014) were analysed for 12 rain-gauge stations installed at variable altitudes of Mizoram. Our objective was to assess the temporal change in the standardized precipitation index (SPI) values at different timescales using Mann-Kendall trend tests. Significant reductions in post-monsoon and winter rainfall were recorded for most of the sites. Increasing dryness during the winter months may intensify the acute water shortage in Mizoram. Our results emphasize the altitudinal insensitivity of mean monthly rainfall trend and prove the urgent need for adopting suitable water management practices to cope with the water scarcity problem to increase the resiliency of rabi agriculture in Mizoram in near future.

Abstract

Mizoram is a mountainous (Lushai hill range) state with closely spaced intermountain valleys, demographically dominated by indigenous tribes (Mizo) constituting 94.4% of the total population. These tribal populations ensure the conservation of plant genetic resources for the future, for the food and nutritional security of an increasing population. Since 1976, in the northeastern hill region intensive collections of maize landraces were made by ICAR-NBPGR, New Delhi and diversity of landraces maize from this region comprised 36% of the total collection from whole India, which was the highest number of accession among other regions.

Abstract

The present study was based on morphological and agronomical characterization of 23 pole-type common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) landraces collected from Lushai hills of North-East India. Extensive variation in plant and seed traits was found in 16 morphological and agronomical characters. Cluster analysis based on Euclidean distance grouped the genotypes into five main branches, reflecting their growth type and reproductive traits. Significant positive or negative correlation was observed among important traits. Principal component analysis was used for assessing patterns of variation by accounting for all the 10 quantitative and six qualitative variables together. Ordination among accessions showed that the first five principal components had Eigen values greater than one, and cumulatively accounted for 72% of the variation. Characterization based on quantitative and qualitative traits enabled separation of accessions into various groups representing landraces with distinct characters.

Abstract

Tree bean, Parkia timoriana is one of the most important perennial tree legume vegetable crops in north eastern region (NER) of India. Recently, sudden death or decline is emerging as a major constraint in the production of tree bean. The prevalence, intensity and etiology of this disease have not been extensively studied. The present work was aimed at studying the symptomology, severity and etiology of sudden death or decline of tree bean in the north eastern region of India. Typical symptoms of tree bean decline were initiated with wilting of half portion of the tree, excessive shedding of leaves, gradual drying up leading to death, and secondary infestation by insects on dead trees. The highest disease severity of 68.5% was observed in warmer regions like Kolasib, Mizoram. During survey, small bark borer was recorded in all districts and levels of infestation rate (holes/ft2 of log) reached maximum up to 25.49 in Hnanthial of Lunglei district. Young trees in the range 1–10 years with 57.32% (917 trees) of total trees (1600) infected were most susceptible to the disease compared to 12.58% (201 trees) infection in old trees in the range 21–30 years. The frequently associated pathogen with sudden death or decline of tree bean was identified as Botrydiplodia theobromae at the Indian Type Culture Collection, ICAR-IARI, New Delhi. It was the most aggressive species and proven to be pathogenic to tree bean following artificial inoculation.

Abstract

Sesame phyllody disease is of serious concern in many sesame-growing areas. It significantly diminishes crop production, especially in warm environments causing up to 80% yield loss. We observed various symptoms of phyllody disease, viz. flowery phyllody, virescence, flower bud proliferation, ovivipary and cracking of seed capsules. Orosius albicinctus (Distant) was identified as the vector of sesame phyllody. Sesame phyllody phytoplasma 16SrI strain sequences of India, Egypt and Thailand were associated in one group; 16SrII strains were grouped separately, comprising sequences from India, Iran, Taiwan, Turkey and Oman. 16SrIX stains of Iran (MW27256, KF774193 and MW272565) and Turkey (KC139791) sequences were clearly distinguished from the phylogenetic tree. This result clearly shows the presence of different sesame phyllody phytoplasma strains and diversity in the Indian subcontinent. Sesame phytoplasma was effectively transmitted to the healthy plants from infected plants of sesame through O. albicinctus, grafting and dodder. The most sustainable and viable alternative for managing sesame phyllody can be an integrated strategy by combining cultural, host plant resistance, biological, physical and chemical methods. Sesame phyllody has become a potential threat to sesame cultivation. Hence, it is necessary to take steps to reduce its further spread. In this article, extensive details on distribution, taxonomy, symptomatology, etiology, transmission, molecular characterization, genetic diversity, host plant resistance and management methods on phytoplasma infecting sesame are provided.
