This was followed by Triazophos (0.65Coccinellids /hill), Carbaryl (0.76Coccinellids /hill), Thimethoxam (0.83Coccinellids/hill), Malathion (0.87Coccinellids /hill), Imidacloprid (0.91Coccinellids/hill), Acephate (1.07Coccinellids/hill) respectively.

Effectiveness of biopesticides against brown planthopper ( Nilaparvata lugens ) in paddy cultivation

Sustainable Chemistry and Pharmacy, 2018

The brown planthopper (BPH) causes serious damage to rice by sucking rice sap, ovipositing in rice tissues, and transmitting a number of rice diseases during its long-distance migration that severely affect the productivity of paddy. Thus, the aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of biopesticides against BPH population. BV500WS is used at the early stage of paddy cultivation for growth enhancement meanwhile BV612EC is used a week after the liberation of BPH for crop protection. Three conditions were adopted as follows which are T1 where the paddy was sprayed using BV500WS and BV612EC to study the effectiveness of both types of biopesticides, T2 where the paddy was sprayed using BV500WS only and C1 where the paddy was cultivated without any pesticide application as control. BPH was released twice on day 46 and 59 of paddy cultivation. Reduction of BPH population with up to 100% mortality rate was observed with the application of two types of biopesticides at T1 resulting in the highest number of remaining tillers with 68.56%. Although severely affected by BPH, T2 was able to has comparable number of remaining tillers as C1 which was 46.24% and 49.65% respectively. These results showed that two types of biopesticides were more effective in reducing BPH compared to one type of biopesticide.

Bioefficacy of crude polyherbal formulations against hoppers (Insecta: Hemiptera) of rice

Journal of Entomology and Zoology Studies, 2020

Bio-efficacy of two crude polyherbal formulations against Nephotettix virescens-the Green Leafhopper (GLH) and Sogatella furcifera, the White-backed plant hopper (WBPH), major sucking insect pests of paddy was carried out at farmer's field of North Gujarat Zone (GJ-4), Gandhinagar, Gujarat during Kharif 2018. The aqueous and oil-based crude formulations were tested at two different concentrations each, in comparison with chemical, botanical and untreated control. Both the crude formulations were effective in the management of green leafhopper and white backed plant hopper in a dose-dependent manner, however, the aqueous formulation was more efficacious as compared to the oil-based formulation. These herbal formulations are an eco-friendly, cost-effective and safe alternative to chemical control measures for the management of paddy pests and can easily be incorporated in the integrated pest management (IPM) programs for the control of sucking pests in Paddy.

Compatibility of insecticides and fungicides against major insect pests and diseases of rice

International journal of tropical agriculture, 2014

Nesidiocoris tenuis (Reuter) (Hemiptera: Miridae) is an effective predator of multiple pests of vegetable crops, such as thrips, mites, aphids, whiteflies, leafminers. It is mass-reared and released for augmentative biocontrol programs mainly aimed at controlling whiteflies and Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) in greenhouses and open field. We evaluated the lethal and sublethal toxicity upon N. tenuis adults of label doses of three insecticides (pyriproxyfen, spirotetramat, cypermethrin) and seven fungicides (benomyl, chlorothalonil, copper oxychloride, cyazofamid, fluopicolide + propamocarb hydrochloride (FPH), penconazol, trifloxystrobin) commonly used in various crops. Two exposure routes were tested: (i) contact with dry residues of insecticides or fungicides on tomato sprouts and (ii) multiple exposure to these chemicals via topical sprays on adults which foraged on treated sprouts; and fed on treated eggs of Ephestia kuehniella (Zeller) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) simultaneously. Mortality and reproductive capacity were investigated as indicators of lethal and sublethal effects on N. tenius. The tested insecticides and fungicides were all classified as harmless when predator was exposed only to the dry residues of each. However, the multiple exposure to either cypermethrin, benomyl, chlorothalonil, copper oxychloride or trifloxystrobin caused significant mortality of N. tenuis adults. Cypermethrin also significantly reduced its reproductive capacity. Interestingly, N. tenuis produced a higher number of progeny when exposed to fungicides penconazol and FPH in both exposure scenarios. Overall, findings suggest that the two insecticides, pyriproxyfen and spirotetramat but not cypermethrin, and all tested fungicides can be considered compatible with N. tenuis.
