Objectives

1

Assessment of effects on yield and quality of soybeans caused by major arthropod pests

PL 480

1969 -1975

The survey of insect pests of soybean, biology of important insect pests, and assessment of losses caused by major insect pests and their control was studied during the period of operation.

2

Studies on toxicity of modern insecticides on vegetable aphids , jassids , their predators and parasites

PL 480

1974 - 1978

Different modern insecticides were screened against three species of vegetable aphids, jassids, their predators and parasites. A very useful data has been generated

3

Evaluation of various light sources for the control of major Lepidopterous insect pests of economic importance

ICAR

1975-1979

Evaluated various light sources for the control of major Lepidopterous insect pests of economic importance

4

Integrated control of gram pod borer, Heliothis armigeraHubn.

ICAR

1979 - 1982

Investigations were made on the use of insecticides, cultural practices and presence of natural enemies for the development of integrated control schedule against gram pod borer, Heliothis armigera Hubn. A key pest of gram

5

AICRP on Rodent Control

ICAR

1982 -

Developed management strategies

6

Use of light traps in integrated management of major insect pests of pulses

ICAR

1983 - 1987

Developed several new designs of light traps and techniques to study migratory behaviour in Lepidopterous species of Agro – Forestry importance. Reported first evidence of migration inH. armigera and inter state migration of teak defoliator and forecast model to predict H. armigera larval population

7

AICRP on Pesticide Residues

ICAR

1988 -

Residue analysis of various food materials

8

Studies on bio- ecology and management of pests of singhara

ICAR

1992-1995

Singhara beetle, Galerucella birmanica and blood worm Steno chironomus were the major pests of singhara. Three sprayings of Monocrotophos @ 1 L / ha and carbaryl were found to be most effective against both the pests. Studies on life history, number of generations and the mode of carry over during off season.

9

Trap designing and field evaluation of light traps as IPM tool

ICAR

2000-2002

Fabricated four new design of light trap namely : Trap Model No. 1 JNKVV Light SM96 Trap Model No.2 JNKVV Light SM1 Trap Model No. 3 JNKVV Light SM01-1 Trap Model No. 4 JNKVV Light SM 01-2 Compared the efficacy of these traps and light sources in farmers fields.

10

Technology development , production and Demonstration of biological pest control agents under I.P.M.

DBT

2002-2003

Evaluated different doses of HaNPV againstHelicoverpa armigera and observed that application of HaNPV @ 300LE / ha (3 sprays) gave better control of H.armigera.

Established the lab facilities and produced about 20.648 LE HaNPV for field demonstration
