Abstract

An experiment was conducted to study the efficacy of neem seed oil and some conventional against the babul whitefly Acadaleyrodes rachipora on Acacia senegal. The results revealed that neem seed oil at 0.5, 0.3 and even at 0.1 % concentrations were very active and suppressed the development of the whitefly significantly while monocrotophos and endosulfan were not effective to suppress this whitefly.

Abstract

Contrary to the common perception that termites are indiscriminate eaters, termites choose their food carefully; however, the methods by which they choose food are not well understood. The movement of foragers of Odontotermes wallonensis, subterranean, mound building termite was investigated in their natural habitat using artificial feeding sites. Wooden blocks of different sizes were used to record foraging of termites and results revealed that for termites "size matters". Bigger the food source higher the preference. Termites selected larger sized baits over smaller one and also disturbance on the baits seems to have influence on the selection of food.
