Abstract:
An experiment was conducted during Summer, 2022 for evaluation of different modules for management of major insect pests in watermelon, (Citrullus lanatus Thunb.). During the course of study, three pest management modules viz., Chemical, Bio-intensive and IPM module consisting spraying of different pesticides as well as biopesticides were evaluated with untreated control in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with five replications. The studies on evaluation of pest management modules for major pests of watermelon revealed that in for control of thrips and whitefly IPM module observed 4.35 thrips and 4.20 whitefly /3 leaves/plant, respectively.
An experiment was conducted during Summer, 2022 for evaluation of different modules for management of major insect pests in watermelon, (Citrullus lanatus Thunb.). During the course of study, three pest management modules viz., Chemical, Bio-intensive and IPM module consisting spraying of different pesticides as well as biopesticides were evaluated with untreated control in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with five replications. The studies on evaluation of pest management modules for major pests of watermelon revealed that in for control of thrips and whitefly IPM module observed 4.35 thrips and 4.20 whitefly /3 leaves/plant, respectively.
Whereas, in case of leaf miner and fruit fly, the IPM module was significantly superior module and observed 23.45% damaged leaves and 16.94% damaged fruits, respectively. Effect of different strategies on predatory coccinellids showed that the Bio-intensive module recorded the highest grub population per plant (3.89 grubs/plant) and was at par with the IPM module which recorded 3.40 grubs/plant indicating their relative safety to the grubs of lady bird beetles. The highest yield of watermelon fruits 45.30 tonnes/ha was registered from the IPM module with highest ICBR 1:10.54 as against 32.90 tonnes /ha in untreated control.
