A survey was conducted during the year 2014-2015 in major banana growing district of Tamil Nadu to study the pest management practices against major pests of banana. The studies revealed low responses on knowledge about eco-friendly pest management practices except following the clean cultivation practices (61.25 %) and use of plant products (54.17 %). Awareness about the recommended pesticides for banana was low (17.50 % respondents) and many of the banana growers (42.5 %) use monocrotophos against banana pests. Around 46.25 per cent of farmers get their plant protection advice from pesticide dealers. Interventions for eco-friendly pest management with the rational and sustainable use of pesticides in banana is necessary among the banana growers.Keywords

Banana pseudostem borer Odoiporus longicollis Olivier is one of the serious monophagous pest threatening the production and productivity of banana in south India. The native isolate of entomopathogenic fungi Metarhizium anisopliae (Metchinkoff) Sorokin was identified and evaluated for its virulence to O. longicollis compared with other entomopathogenic fungal isolates. The native isolate M. anisopliae (Ma-BW) showed higher virulence to adults with the minimum LC50 value ∼1.0 × 107 spores ml-1 and faster lethal effect on adult O. longicollis with the shortest LT50 value of 62.54 hours. Among different oil in water formulations of Ma-BW evaluated against adult O. longicollis in laboratory at 2% showed that the formulation of Ma-BW in ground nut oil performed superior with adult mortality of 83.33 per cent at 120 HAT followed by oil formulations of Ma-BW in sunflower oil, gingelly oil and neem oil with76.67 per cent adult mortality at the same concentration and time period.Keywords
