Abstract

The deffotiation epidemic in ailanthus excelsa roxb in satyanarain research nursery was studies. The insect responsible for epidemic was philosamia cythia drury. This is a polyphagous pest and reported for the first time as deffolator of ailanthus excelsa Egg, larva, pups and adult of the species are described and notes on their biology are given. A fungal pathogen, beauveria basslana(Balsama) Vulliemin has been recorded killing the larvae of P.cynthia in the field. The pathogen appears to be a promising organism for microbial control of Ailanthus deffolator in the field.

Abstract

Two insecticides, a synthetie pyrethroid fenvalerate (Sumicidin) and a Carbamate (Sevin), were tested against larvae of Atteva fabriciella, the Ailanthus webworm, in Kaluwala Block, Mohand Range. It has been found that fenvalerate and carbamate (Sevin) show promise and provide good control of the pest in 0.01% and 0.02% concentrations.

Abstract

Diboma procera Pascoe was recorded as twig borer of Ailanthuso excelsa in Ganjerban plantations of Siwalik Forest Division. The larva bores the young twigs of Ailanthus having a maximum girth of 15 cm. Beetle is elongate greyish brown; egg is dirty white and 2 mm long; larva is creamy white 25 mm in length, cylindrical; pupa is dull white and 20 mm long, Beetle oviposits singly, incubation period ranges from 5-7 days, larval period varies from 9-10 months and pupal period is 13-18 days. Life cycle is annual.

Abstract

Raising of Ailanthus in plantations has brought entemological problems in its wake, i.e., epidemics of Eligma narcissus Cramer and Atteva fabriciella Swederus. Distribution of Eligma narcissus follows distribution of genus Ailanthus. Moth large, grey, black and yellow; egg pale white, larva bright sulphur yellow with black and red patches, pupa dark brown. Moth oviposits in clusters, incubation period 3-4 days, larval period 22-23 days and pupal period 15-17 days. There are 8-9 generations a year. Sex ratio is 50:50. Enemy complex, compries of two tachinid parasites, Eutachina civiloides Baranov and Sturmia inconspicuella Baranov; a fungal pathogen, Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) Vuillemin; a mantid predator Humbortilla ceylonica Saussere; and a bird predator the black headed oriole-Oriolus xantheornus. Integrated measures, i.e., Biological-cam-silvicultural and mechanical, advised for the control of the pest in plantations.

Abstract

Larvae of Atteva fabriclella,a serious deCollator DC Ailonthus exeelsa pass summer mOltths lit the samara. and thus fills the lacuna In the studies of life history oC the defollator. Two fruit generations have been recorded. First fruit generation occur. during April, May and lasts for 27-30 days. The second fruit generation start. in May-June and is completed by June-July. This generation also lasts for 30 days. Food preference aod egglaying preference experiments in the laboratory also confirm field observation. The paper also envisages the control of the pest by spraying 1% aldrin at-this vulnerable stage.
