“…These findings draw their support from previous works of Srinivasan and Moorthy (1991), Srinivasan et al. (1994), Virk, Brar, and Sohi (2004), and Hussain and Bilal (2007). Among the several potent microbials, B. thuringiensis has been reported as promising potential against lepidopterous larvae (Bravo, Gill, & Soberón, 2005; Burges, 1981; Glare & O'Callaghan, 2000; Schnepf et al., 1998).…”

“…Trap crops are more attractive to the insect pests and has an added advantage to attract the natural enemies fauna (Päts, Ekbom, & Shovgård, 1997). The present study also received attention in regulating the population of H. armigera as reported by Srinivasan, Moorthy, and Raviprasad (1994). Continuous presence of tight bud stage since the incidence of H. armigera facilitates feeding for tomato fruit borer throughout cropping season and reduces the tendency of larvae of H. armigera to migrate to tomato crop.…”

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is one of the most important Solanaceous and remunerative vegetable crops. However, despite its value in fresh and processing markets, many farmers are concerned about pest resistance. Therefore, looking to the seriousness of pest menace particularly leaf curl and fruit borer, research is needed to reduce the chemical pressure and establish an ecological equilibrium in tomato fields. A combination of bio-intensive pest management (BIPM) and chemo-intensive pest management (CIPM) were followed trap crop marigold (Tagetes erecta L.) and yellow sticky traps to manage these pests during 2016-2017 and 2017-2018. The percent plant infestation with leaf curl (0.6-0.9) and fruit infestation with fruit borer (5.2-6.7) were observed in BIPM and CIPM. In these fields, the application of insecticides increased yields 30-38.3%. There was 47.1-56.8% higher net return in BIPM and 59.5-68.9% higher in CIPM than farmers' practices. Similarly, benefit cost ratio was analyzed 2.5:3.6 in BIPM and 2.5:3.7 in CIPM.

“…the planting of trap crop to encircle the main crop) (Boucher et al ., ) is particularly efficient in the case of pests that show active flight and egg‐laying site‐seeking behaviour, such as Lepidoptera pests (Potting et al ., ; Shelton & Badenes‐Perez, ). Synchronization of the plant phenological stages that are attractive for pests between a main crop and a trap crop is crucial for effective trap cropping (Srinivasan et al ., ). TFW larvae attack most crops after flowering because TFW adult moths are attracted by floral organs to lay their eggs.…”

Potential of pigeon pea as a trap crop for control of fruit worm infestation and damage to okra

et al. 2014

The potential of perimeter trap cropping, using short and extra-short duration pigeon pea (SD PP and ESD PP), sorghum and cotton, was evaluated in Niger as an agroecological alternative to pesticide application on okra for the management of the tomato fruit worm (TFW) Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner). In 2008, infestation by TFW and damage by fruit worms of unsprayed okra with SD PP borders was intermediate between cypermethrin-sprayed and unsprayed pure okra crops. In 2009, the cypermethrin-sprayed okra was significantly less damaged by fruit worms than in the unsprayed pure okra, as well as in the unsprayed okra crops with SD PP, sorghum and cotton borders. In 2010, the pure okra crop sprayed with cypermethrin was significantly less infested by TFW than the unsprayed pure okra crop and the unsprayed okra crop with SD PP borders. The unsprayed okra crop with ESD PP borders was intermediate between cypermethrin-sprayed and unsprayed pure okra crops. The slightly lower TFW infestation of the unsprayed okra crop with ESD PP borders was a result of increased top-down regulation by predator spiders, whose colonization was significantly higher on the unsprayed okra crop with ESD PP borders than on both (sprayed and unsprayed) pure okra crops.

The flowering stage of African marigold Tagetes erecta (L.) was the most preferred for oviposition by Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner). The lower sides of leaf margins received more eggs compared to buds, stem tip and flowers. Olfactometer studies revealed that more female moths were attracted towards the flower extracts, followed by leaf, bud and stem tip extracts of African marigold. The thin layer chromatography analysis of these extracts showed a blend of compounds including careen, ocimene, methyl benzoate, phenyl acetaldehyde and phenyl ethanol. Attempts have been made to correlate insect behavior with the presence of these compounds.
