Abstract

The activity of P. reflexa initiated in 25th SMW with 2.62 per cent incidence and 1.74 mean larval population in 1999-2000. It reached to its peak in the SMW 33rd with the incidence and mean larval population being, respectively, 27.78 per cent and 17.18. It remained active till 43rd SMW. During 2000-01, activity of this pest initiated in 25th SMW with 1.68 per cent incidence and 0.99 mean larval population. It reached to its peak in the SMW 33rd with the incidence being 32.85 per cent with 26.21 mean larvae per quadrate. It remained active till 43rd SMW. The correlation coefficient of the incidence and population vs maximum temperature of the corresponding period showed significant negative correlation. During both the years mean value of the correlation coefficient of maximum temperature, respectively for incidence and population was calculated to be -0.5944 and -0.6113. The data indicated that the correlation of incidence and population with that of relative humidity was also significantly positive.

Abstract

Phenological studies on Azadirachta indica A. Juss (Neem) of different agro-climatic zones viz Narmada valley, Vainganga valley and Satpura plateau are described. Major leaf-fall period fell between February-March except in Narmada valley where it was extended up to April. Leaf emergence initiated during February-April in different agro-climatic zones. Vegetative phase lasted for seven months (August-January) in all climatic zones except Vainganga valley where it lasted for six months only. Flowering initiated in February in all the climatic zones while in Narmada valley, it was noticed during March. Fruiting was initiated during March-April. The impact of climate was observed on the morphological and phenological characteristics of Neem. The significant variations among the quantitative phonological parameters like leaf, flower, fruit-abundance, leaf-area, leaflet area and leafweight for different climatic zones. These variations were non-significantly correlated with growth-parameters like gbh, tree-height, crown-diameter and crown-height. Significant positive correlation between flower and fruit- abundance was obtained which indicated that increasing flower-abundance enhanced fruit production.

Abstract

The insecticide (Monocrotophos), hormones (Alpha Napthyl Acetic Acid) and Rallis tracel-2 (Micronutrient) were used in teak seed orchards at Behrai (Seoni, M.P.). The experiemental results showed that the growth promoting chemical and insecticides are not effective to increase the teak fruit production. Fruit dropping also does not appear to have been affected by these treatments. As the treatment applied within investigation failed to exhibit any positive correlation with the fruit production in teak and thus on older trees (about 10 years) these treatments should not be applied. The insect population can only be reduced to some extent by the treatment with insecticides only if it is beyond the tolerable level.

Abstract

Suitable control measures were devised for tackling the white ischolar_main grubs in teak nursery at Katanga (Balaghat, M.P.) and noticed that Basuddin (Diazinon) lOG @ 200g/bed (10m X 1m) followed by Phorate (Thimet lOG) 200g/bed was very effective against the white ischolar_main grub, H.serrata. In case of various doses of Phorate (Thimet) 10G, 200g/bed followed by 150g/bed was best among the other doses. In treated plots of BHC, Furadon and Sevin, the cumulative effect of larval population of teak defoliator, H.puera and skeletonizer, E.machaeralis, the observations confirm that Sevin 50 W.P. @ 200g followed by BHC 50 W.P. @ 600g/ bed was most effective against these pests.

Abstract

Four concentrations viz. (0.005%,0.01%, 0.0125% and 0.02%) of monocrotophos (36 E.C.) were tested as contact and systemic action against the larvae of Atteva fabriciella in field and laboratory conditions at room temperature. On the basis of experimental findings 0.02% monocrotophos exhibited 80 and 100 per cent mortality within 24 and 48 hours in field condition. The same treated leaves from field when fed to third ins tar larvae in the laboratory condition gave 80 and 100 per cent mortality after 24 and 48 hours respectively. The leaves directly treated in the same conditions at room temperature also gave 100 per cent mortality after 72 hours. Atteva fabriciella may be successfully controlled by applying 0.02% monocrotophos. (36 E.C.) in the nurseries and growing plantations of Ailanthus excelsa.

Abstract

Spermoplane micro flora of teak (Tectona grandis) seeds were recorded in the inflorescence, immature and mature stages of fruits. During the seed setting process Fusarium sp. shows systemic infection. Simultaneously some seed boring insects like Pagyda salvalis, Dichocrosis punctiferalis and D. pendamalis were also found associated with the teak fruits. Due to attack of these pathogens and insects, the fruiting in TSO's and SPA's are very less. One field experiment, using biopestcides (Bacillus thuringiensis, B.amyloliquefaciens), insecticides (Monocrotophos), fungicide (Bavistin), trace elements (Rallis tracel-2) and growth hormone (Planofix) in different combinations were applied in 16 years old TSO in Nandigram, Seoni, M.P.. The result of the experiment showed maximum number of fruits and weight of teak fruits in the treatment of Monocrotophos (0.05%) + Bavistin (0.2%), the insect and fungal damage was also less in the treatment. Whereas other treatment does not show significant result. Therefore, application of Monocrotophos nd st (0.05%) + Bavistin (0.2%) in the month of July and 2^nd dose during 1^st week of August can enhance fruit productivity in TSO's.

Abstract

Leaf gall forming insect, Trioza obsoleta (Buckton) is one of the key insect pest, known as 'pox' disease' which deteriorates the leaf quality causing heavy losses in economic terms. It causes galls in leaves which render unsuitable for bidi wrapper. The present investigation has been undertaken with the objective standardization of management practices for D. melanoxylon leaf gall forming insect. Nine different locations viz. Littipara (Gariyabad, East Raipur), Lohattar (East Bhanupratppur, Kanker), Morga (Kathghora, Bilaspur), Kotadol (Korea), Kota, Bharni (Bilaspur), Raipur, Chichola (Rajnandgaon) and Kawardha in Chhattisgarh state, India were conducted for monitoring the status of T. obsoleta. The incidence of T. obsoleta varies from 50-60 per cent were recorded. The field experiments were conducted during 2011-12 and 2012-13 at Morga, (Range - Kendai, Forest Division Katghora, Chhattisgarh, India). The results revealed that the treatment of synthetic pyrethroid, deltamethrin (decis) 2.5 EC. @ 0.002 per cent followed by cypermethrin 20 E.C. @ 0.03 per cent was found to be most effective against T. obsoleta. The first pruning including control fire in first week of March was found to be most effective and suitable for minimizing the incidence of T. obsoleta, and increasing the weight and area of leaves after 45 days of pruning.
