The bud borer and blossom midge are the major pests that attack buds of jasmine, this study represents the effort to demonstrate the potential of biocontrol agents and botanicals on bud damaging insect pests of jasmine at field level. The flower bud damage due to jasmine bud borer and blossom midge were assessed at the bud initiation stage before imposing treatment. Various treatments involving botanicals, biocontrol agents and chemicals were applied to the crop during March month. Application of Beauveria bassiana (NBAIR formulation) at 5g/litre of water three times along with 6 releases of Trichogramma chilonis @100,000/ha at 7 days interval from bud initiation stage was superior in checking the bud borer damage (50 to 86%) and blossom midge (61 to79 %). Regarding yield, treatment with B. bassiana (NBAIR formulation) at 5g/litre of water along with 6 releases of T. chilonis at 7 days interval was superior and gave 2000 kg ha-1 with a cost benefit ratio of 2.50. The study revealed that integrated use of biocontrol agents and biopesticides can provide reliable and effective pest control in jasmine, while reducing pest management cost and chemical exposure to the growers and workers.

Lifecycle, progressive growth of larval head capsule, and nutritional indices of Spodoptera frugiperda (J E Smith) on maize (Co-H6) were studied at the Department of Agricultural Entomology, TNAU, Coimbatore during 2018-19. Incubation, total larval, and pupal periods were observed as 2-3, 13-20, and 7-11 days, respectively. The total lifecycle of male and female was 33-46 and 35-47, respectively. The head width was observed to be 0.34, 0.60, 0.89, 1.32, 1.86, and 2.36 mm from the first to the sixth instars, respectively. Linear regression analysis showed a significant relationship between larval instars and head capsule width (R2=0.0979); and geometric progression ratio was observed as 1.48. Nutritional indices were also studied for the third and fifth instar on the maize plants. Consumption index (CI) and approximate digestibility (AD) increased with larval age, while efficiency of conversion of ingested food (ECI) and efficiency of conversion of digested food (ECD) were inversely related to age. These values for the third and fifth instar were- CI= 2.30 and 2.31; AD=35.7 and 40.29; ECI=18.33 and 12.21; ECD=51.33 and 30.3, respectively.Keywords

Population dynamics of the fall army worm (FAW) Spodoptera frugiperdaon maize was carried out at the research field of Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore (kharif and rabi, 2018 and 2019). The results revealed that maximum FAW trap catches were obtained during 34th(7.6 moths/ trap) and 5th(7.8 moths/ trap) standard weeks (SW) of kharif and rabi seasons of 2018, respectively. During 2019, a more or less similar trend was observed with a maximum during 31st(7.2 moth/ trap) and 48th (8.2 moth/ trap) SW of kharif and rabi seasons, respectively. Correlation with weather factors indicated a significant negative correlation with evening relative humidity (RH) and significant positive correlation with morning RH during 2019-20. No significant effect of weather factors was observed during 2018-19 except for a significant positive correlation with evening RH and rainfall. The correlation between larval counts and pheromone trap catches were significantly positive with r-value of 0.55 and an R2value of 0.907 during 2018-19.
