The effect of different diets on the biological parameters of rice moth, Corcyra cephalonica Stainton (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) was studied under laboratory condition during 2010 -2011 in the Department of Entomology, Assam Agricultural University, Jorhat, Assam. Among the six diets tested, rice, wheat and groundnut mixture (5:5:1) was found to be the superior rearing medium that enhanced quicker development period of Corcyra cephalonica, maximum fecundity and maximum fresh body weight of full grown larva for both summer and winter seasons. The quicker development period of Corcyra cephalonica were 36.30±0.58 and 48.80±0.33 in summer and winter, respectively whereas maximum fecundity were 175.60±0.13 and 157.65±2.64 in both the season. The maximum fresh body weight of full grown larva was 93.85±0.56 in summer and 84.70±1.05 in winter when Corcyra cephalonica reared in rice, wheat and groundnut mixture (5:5:1). Groundnut alone proved to be the least preferred by the Corcyra cephalonica so weak performance in all the parameters for this tested host of many natural enemies.Keywords

An Experiment was conducted in the experimental plot, Department of Entomology, Assam Agricultural University, Jorhat during 2014 and 2015 to study the population build up of P. lotus infesting Capsicum chinense with respect to weather factors. In the present investigation, the highest population (no/leaf) of yellow mite, P. latus was observed in the month of March with maximum 45 and 28 number of yellow mite per leaf in 2014 and 2015, respectively. The highest overall per cent incidence recorded was 80.61 in the last week of March whereas lowest overall incidence was found in May with 20.12 per cent mite incidence The correlation studies between P. latus and weather parameters revealed that population build up of P. latus found to be significant negative correlation with morning relative humidity (r=-0.787 and r=-721) and rainfall (r=-0.526) in both the years, respectively. Maximum temperature, minimum temperature and evening relative humidity showed a negative and non- significant correlation with mite population. Bright sunshine hour was found to be positively correlated. This present findings will certainly be a helpful for yellow mite forecasting as well as management point of view and to have profitable cultivation of Capsicum chinense by way of mite free crop production.Keywords

A field experiment was carried out in the Integrated Crop Research (ICR) farm, Assam Agricultural University, Jorhat to determine the impact of weather parameters on insect and mite pests infesting French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) during 2013-14 and 2014-15. The weather parameters had a significant impact on population build up of various French bean crop pests. Cutworm population found to be positive and significant correlation with morning relative humidity (r=0.573) during 2014-15 while aphid showed a positive significant correlation with maximum temperature (r=0.555) and BSSH (r=0.671) but negative with relative humidity (r=-0.562*) in 2013-14. Two spotted spider mite (TSSM) population showed a positive significant correlation with morning relative humidity (r = 0.661* and r=0.617*) in both the years and negative correlation with maximum temperature (r=0.603 and r=559) in 2013-14 and 2014-15, respectively. A negative significant correlation with maximum temperature (r=706) and positive correlation with relative humidity (r=568) with pod borer population during 2013-14. The rain fall (r=589) had a negative significant correlation with Thrips population during 2013-14. Whitefly population found to be negative significant correlation with maximum temperature (r=554 and r=553) and positive correlation with morning relative humidity (r=605 and r=674) in 2013-14 and 2014-15, respectively. This present findings will certainly be a helpful tool for profitable cultivation of French bean crop by forecasting insect and mite pests arrival as well as management point of view.Keywords

The present two years experimental survey was carried out for assessment of distribution pattern and diversity of different dipteran insects species in the South Tripura district of Tripura during 2015-16 and 2016-17. The various dipteran insects were collected from different localities of South Tripura district viz., Manumukh, Birchandra Manu, West pillak and Bedantra para. The selected areas for collection were varied from farmland to forest areas with an average elevation of 26 meters. During the study a total of 40 numbers of surveys were made and study reveals that the area under the survey has dipteran insects belonging to 18 families, 28 genera, and 55 species and among the collected 55 numbers of species the ecological roles span are ranges from vertebrate blood feeding to detritivory species.Keywords
