Development of Plutella xylostella was studied on cauliflower, cabbage, broccoli and radish in protected field condition under nylon net cage for two consecutive years. Result revealed that P. xylostella preferred to lay maximum eggs on cauliflower followed by cabbage, broccoli and radish. Fecundity was more at beginning but declined gradually with advancing of female age. The highest unhatched eggs were recorded on radish and minimum on cauliflower. Larval mortality was least when P. xylostella reared on cauliflower and maximum on radish. Mortality survival ratio for immature stages was highest on radish and lowest on cauliflower. The immature stages of P. xylostella were over within 27.45 days on cauliflower and 30.62 days on radish. Thermal constants significantly differed among the host plants during both the years of study. Maximum degree-days 66.66 and 125.00 was required for development of P. xylostella on cauliflower and minimum 37.03 and 58.82 on radish during both the cropping seasons, respectively. However, P. xylostella required maximum degree days to complete the development of immature stages on broccoli 473.03 and 394.95 degree-days in both cropping years.Keywords

The present investigation was conducted during Rabi season of 2011 to see the effect of imidacloprid and deltamethrin insecticides on the biology of Pieris brassicae (Linn.) on cabbage at experimental field of the Department of Plant Protection, Faculty of Agricultural Sciences, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh. The larvae of Pieris brassicae were collected from cabbage field in the month of January and February 2012. They were kept in jars measuring 25 x15 cm and provided fresh cabbage leaves as food for larvae. These jars were kept in B.O.D chamber at 24.5oC and 70±10 per cent relative humidity. Fresh cabbage leaves were dipped in 0.05 per cent aqueous solution of, imidacloprid and deltamethrin and dried at room temperature by keping in the experimental jars. Fifteen third instar larvae in a batch of five were allowed to feed on them for 24 hours. Survivorship and expectancy of the life was greatest in the beginning of the age and decreased gradually with the advancement of the age in the all treatment including control. The expectancy was minimum (17.18) when P. brassicae was treated with imidacloprid while maximum in the untreated individuals (25.83). The mortality of P. brassicae was significantly high in the early instars as compared to late instars in both treated and untreated individuals.Keywords
