Abstract

Utilization of induced defence in forest pest management has the potential to increase total forest productivity provided the factors which influence the induced resistance response in forest trees are understood. Of the many possible mechanisms that could be responsible for protecting trees from herbivores is induced plant chemical defences. Induced response vary spatially that they can remain localized or can spread from a damaged plant to an undamaged plant. Manipulation of induced plant defence by mechanical defoliation and in the regulation and stimulation of natural enemies influenced by chemical signals emitted from infested plants are also discussed.

Abstract

Wide range of insect pests and fungal pathogens attack seedlings, saplings and trees of economic important viz., Teak, Neem, Bamboo, Eucalyptus and Casuarina. The study highlights those solvent extracts of D. palustris (leather plant) responsible for antifeedant activity against Teak defoliator Hyblaea puera and skeletonizer Eutectona machaeralis. It was tested for fungal toxicity against some forest tree pathogens also.

Abstract

The activity of biological control agents like predators, parasitoids etc. attacking pests can depend upon the properties of the host on which it is developed. Therefore, the reproductive behavioural strategy of host eggs, Corcyra cephalonica were tried with different nutritive medium in order to produce the active and viable parasitoids like trichogrammatids, chrysopids etc against pest resurgence especially forest insect groups.

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.
