The inflorescence hopper, Idioscopus nitidulus (Walker), is an economically important pest during flowering period of mango. An outbreak of entomopathogenic fungal infection of Entomophthora sp. causing about 87.88 per cent mortality of I. nitidulus adults was recorded during the off-season. This is the first report of Entomopthora species infecting I. nitidulus.Keywords

Two hyperparasitoids, Prochiloneurus aegyptiacus (Mercet) and P. testaceus (Agarwal), were recorded for the first time on Anagyrus dactylopii (Howard), a primary parasitoid of pink mealybug, Maconellicoccus hirsutus (Green) infesting grapes at Bangalore, India. Hyperparasitism to the tune of 11% exerted by them could be detrimental to the primary parasitoid in countering the rate of increase of M. hirutus in vineyards.Keywords

Field trials were conducted to evaluate the efficiency of different IPM treatments (Trichogramma chilonis, Dolichogenidea stantoni, Nomuraea rileyi, Beauveria bassiana, Metarhizium anisopliae and Bacillus thuringiensis subspecies kurstaki) for the management melon borer, Diaphania indica in bittergourd. Among the different treatments evaluated, T7 (Bacillus thuringiensis/ Dipel) and T3 (T. chilonis + D. stantoni) were more effective; T2 (D. stantoni), T4 (N. rileyi) and T5 (B. bassiana) also gave good control over the D. indica population when compared to other treatments and control.Keywords
