Abstract:
Garlic is popular in India for multiple uses as spices, botanicals and herbal medicine. It is found to be infested by dry bulb mite, Aceria tulipae both in field and storage condition. The present research work deals with the objectives to record the population dynamics of A. tulipae infesting stored garlic. The mite population was significantly negative correlated with temperature and positively correlated with relative humidity. The pattern of incidence of mite on the selected varieties of garlic was similar. The varieties like Goldana, Najipuri, Gangajali, Kadamkanali Local were most susceptible type while Katki, Purulia Local were least susceptible type.
