Comparative biology of rice swarming Caterpillar <i>Spodoptera Mauritia</i> Boisduval

Abstract

Comparative biology of rice swarming caterpillar Spodoptera mauritia Boisduval has been analysed in this study. It was observed that rearing it on the artificial diets (chickpea flour based diets) was the most favourable with shortest larval period of 20.00± 0.51 days, whereas, those fed with rice leaves were 23.00± 0.52 days. The number of eggs laid was 1887.50 and 1013.50 when reared on artificial diet and rice leaves, respectively

First report of Lipaphis pseudobrassicae (Aphididae: Hemiptera) on Broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica) from Gujarat, India

“…Maximum average infestation and larval population were recorded in Kalaibari VC (17.8% and 1.7 larvae/m²), closely followed by Killa Verma VC (17.7% and 1.7 larvae/m²) (Table 2). Previous research emphasized the peak incidence during the third week of August (Ramaiah et al, 2018), and sporadic occurrences in India and Asian countries which cause losses intermittently (Guru et al, 2021). Furthermore, Tanwar et al…”
