Abstract
Seasonal incidence of fall army worm in maize at Dharwad indicated its occurrence both in and kharifrabi seasons The incidence was more during the season. Highest incidence of 50% was noticed during last . kharif week of August and second peak incidence of 30% was noticed during last week of December. Correlation between seasonal incidence of fall army worm and weather parameters indicated that there was a significant negative correlation with the rainfall (-0.60**) and morning humidity (-0.50*). Biology of fall army worm indicated that it completed its total life cycle in 31-44 days on maize comprising of six larval instar stages. Among the entomo-pathogens tested against the fall army worm,(2 x 10 cfu/g)Metarhizium (Nomuraea) rileyi 8 was found to be superior and it was at par with neem formulation (azadirachtin 3000 ppm) @ 5ml/l
期刊介绍:
The Society has been established with the following objectives:
1. To advance the cause of research activity in all aspects of rangelands and to encourage and promote the studies on rangeland, wasteland ecosystems and agroforestry.
2. To provide facilities for seminars and conferences to rangeland researchers, development workers and farmers and to encourage close cooperation with organizations having related aims and interests.
3. To disseminate the knowledge of scientific agriculture and technology for forage and rangeland production, improvement and management.
