The species diversity of parasitoids of the serpentine leaf miner, Liriomyza trifolii (Burgess) in tomato ecosystem was conducted under mid hill conditions of Himachal Pradesh during 2008–2010. The tomato leaves were collected periodically from June to September from three strata i.e. bottom, middle and top portion of the plants at random. During the course of study four species of larval parasitoids viz., Neochrysocharis formosa (Westwood), Diglyphus sp., Asecodes sp. and Chrysocharis sp. belonging to the family Eulophidae and one species of larval-pupal parasitoid, Opius sp. belonging to the family Braconidae were identified. These parasitoids were active throughout the cropping season and the parasitization ranged from 6.0 - 21.1, 19.4 - 28.6 and 13.6 - 23.1 per cent during 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively. It was maximum (20.1 - 28.6%) during the month of August. Marginally higher parasitization (14.3 - 26.7%) was observed in the middle stratum of the foliage than in top (11.1 - 24.0%) or bottom (6.7 - 20.0%) stratum during all the three years of study. Among the larval parasitoids, N. formosa was the predominant species (81.5%), whereas, other parasitoids such as Diglyphus sp., Chrysocharis sp. and Asecodes sp. comprised of 7.4, 7.4 and 3.7 per cent of the total population of the larval parasitoids.Keywords

Apple stem borer, Aeolesthes sp. is a serious pest in apple orchards in Himachal Pradesh. For its suppression, microbial biopesticides viz., Beauveria bassiana, Beauveria brongniarti, Metarhizium anisopliae (5 x 107 conidia/gallery), Steinernema feltiae, Heterorhabditis bacteriophora (5000 infective juveniles (IJ)/ live gallery) and econeem plus (having 1% azadirachtin @ 0.5%) were evaluated. The experiment was conducted for two years during 2007-08 and 2008-09 at Temperate Horticulture Research station, Kotkhai, District Shimla. These biopesticides were compared with the recommended insecticides,dichlorvos (0.1%) and chlorpyriphos (0.04%) and control (emulsified water, 0.02%). Before applying the treatments, all the holes except one present in each branch were plugged with mud paste.The leftover hole was then cleared with the help of flexible aluminium wire and the treatment was given with the help of syringe. Thereafter, the leftover hole was also plugged with mud paste.To calculate percent mortality, the larvae which opened any of the holes in the branch or made new hole to push out the excreta were considered as live and those which remained closed throughout as dead. In this experiment, B. bassiana, B. brongniartii, M. anisopliae, H. bacteriophora, S. feltiae, econeem, chlorpyriphos, dichlorvos and control resulted in 33.3, 66.7, 37.5, 80, 20, 100, 100, 100 and 40 percent mortality during 2007-08 and 33.3, 33.3, 66.7, 33.3, 33.3, 66.7, 100, 100 and 0.00 per cent mortality during 2008-09 respectively. Among different biopesticides, M. anisopliae, B. brongniartii and cconeem plus were the best treatments resulting in 66.7 and 100 per cent mortality of stem borer larvae.Keywords

Hadamard matrices have received much attention in the recent past, owing to their well-known and promising applications. Various researchers have used Hadamard matrices to find their applications in image analysis, signal processing, coding theory, cryptology and combinatorial designs. Now, Hadamard rhotrices have been introduced in the literature for the above said applications. Balanced incomplete block design has its wide use in design of experiments in statistics and error-correcting codes. Design of experiments has broad applications across all the natural and social sciences, and engineering. Here, in the present paper, we develop balanced incomplete block design (BIBD) using Hadamard rhotrices.Keywords

Lester S. Hill in 1929 introduced non-singular matrices to encrypt and decrypt the message in the symmetric key cryptography. Block ciphers designing and cryptographic hash functions have the use of matrices. Here, we introduce permutations, iterations and finite field in the Hill cipher to provide more security and make it free from vulnerable attacks.Keywords

Cryptography is the science which provides confidentiality, authenticity and integrity to the users over the prevailing insecure communication channels. Encryption is the transformation of data into some unreadable form. The purpose is to ensure privacy by keeping the information hidden from anyone for whom it is not intended, even those who can see the encrypted data. Decryption is the reverse of encryption; it is the transformation of encrypted data back into some intelligible form. Encryption and decryption require the use of some secret information, usually referred to as a key. Hill cipher in cryptography is a symmetric key substitution algorithm, which is vulnerable to known plain text attack. We modify the existing Hill cipher by using Vandermonde matrix and introducing the elements of finite field which provides more security to the said cipher.Keywords

Cabbage aphid, Brevicoryne brassicae (L) (Aphididae: Hemiptera) is one of the most serious pest of cauliflower throughout the world. Knowledge of spatial distribution is important for developing an effective sampling plan and ultimately for IPM strategies for a given pest. In the present study spatial distribution of B. brassicae and its parasitoid, Diaeretiella rapae (Mc lntosh) (Braconidae: Hymenoptera) was studied on cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var botrytis) under sub-temperate conditions of India during 2017. Both B. brassicae and D. rapae assumed activity in the fourth week of January and remained active till May end with peak activity during fourth week of March, 2017. Dispersion indices like variance to mean ratio (σ2/X), David-Moore index (IDM = σ2/X-1), mean crowding (X*), Lloyd’s mean crowding index (X*/X) and ‘k’ of negative binomial indicated that both the aphid and the parasitoid followed negative binomial distribution throughout the cropping season, Taylor’s power equation was σ2 = 1.7013X0.5314 for B. brassicae and σ2 = 2.2057X1.4467 for D. rapae, while Iwao’s patchiness regression equation was X*= 32.0099+1.7947X and X*= -2.0678+2.2746X for B. brassicae and D. rapae, respectively. Optimum number of samples required varied with the mean density and the desired precision level for both the aphid and the parasitoid.

The present study deals with the impact of temperature on development, survival, reproduction and population growth of a recently invaded and the most destructive pest of tomato, Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) with the aim to understand its possible expansion in different agro-climatic zones. Though T. absoluta was able to develop between 15° and 35°C, temperature around 25°-30°C was more suitable. Survival and fecundity were highest at 25°C and lowest at 35°C. Developmental threshold for different developmental stages of the pest varied from 6.2 to 9.5°C, while the thermal constant required by the insect to complete the development from egg to adult emergence was 500 degree-days. Population growth parameters were also influenced significantly by the rearing temperature. Intrinsic rate of increase, net reproductive rate and finite rate of increase was higher at 25° and 30°C as compared to other temperature regimes. The study concludes that T. absoluta can be a serious pest of tomato in mid-hills of north-western Himalayan region and the southern plains of India where temperatures varies between 15-35°C. Furthermore, the developmental threshold values indicate that the pest can develop and survive at temperatures as low as 6-9°C without entering the diapause as long as the food is available.Keywords
