Abstract:
Background: Among pulse crops, pigeonpea is easily grown in drought and grows large. Under biotic stresses, insect attack is the biggest problem in pigeonpea production. In order to stop this from happening, farmers use a lot of pesticides. Due to insecticides' residual toxic effect, they have a direct negative effect on their natural enemies in the pigeon pea ecosystem. It directly affects natural or biological control by affecting predation abilities.
Background: Among pulse crops, pigeonpea is easily grown in drought and grows large. Under biotic stresses, insect attack is the biggest problem in pigeonpea production. In order to stop this from happening, farmers use a lot of pesticides. Due to insecticides' residual toxic effect, they have a direct negative effect on their natural enemies in the pigeon pea ecosystem. It directly affects natural or biological control by affecting predation abilities.
Methods: For feeding efficacy of, all the larval stages and pupae of leaf webber, pod borer, blue butterfly, and plume moth were released in trebly petri dish and each stage of predator, Alcaeorrhynchus grandis. Count the rest of the individuals in petri dishes to determine prayer efficacy after consumption.
Result: The stink bug, Alcaeorrhynchus grandis, was just as aggressive towards its prey as it was sensitive to insecticides. It accomplished hunting at all stages of its life and with its prey. Ninety percent of the population of 3rd instar pod borer larvae, pupa of the blue butterfly, 3rd, 4th, and 5th instar plume moth larvae, and 83.85% of the population of 2nd instar leaf webber larvae were killed by the adult stage of the stink bug.
