“…On the other hand, the minimum yield loss (6.5%) in E. sativa corresponded with the minimum population of mustard aphid (2.1 aphids/ plant) as well as cabbage caterpillar (2.4 larvae/plant). Patel et al (2004) reported the losses in seed yield of Indian mustard, B. juncea by the mustard aphid to be 76.0 to 100.0 per cent under unsprayed conditions. Singh and Sachan (1994) also reported avoidable losses due to mustard aphid which were up to 69.6 per cent.…”

Abstract:A six year field study was conducted from 2001-2002 to 2006-2007 at Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, India to study the losses in seed yield of different Brassica species (B. juncea, B. napus, B. carinata, B. rapa and Eruca sativa) by the infestation of insect pests. The experiment was conducted in two different sets viz. protected/sprayed and unprotected, in a randomized block design, with three replications. Data on the infestation of insect pests, and seed yield were recorded at weekly intervals and at harvest, respectively. The loss in seed yield, due to mustard aphid and cabbage caterpillar, varied from 6.5 to 26.4 per cent. E. sativa suffered the least loss in seed yield and harboured the minimum population of mustard aphid (2.1 aphids/plant) and cabbage caterpillar (2.4 larvae/plant). On the other hand, B. carinata was highly susceptible to the cabbage caterpillar (26.2 larvae/plant) and suffered the maximum yield loss (26.4%).

Precipitation is one of the key parameter in water resources sustainability of a watershed. The wetness and dryness of a watershed can be represented in terms of positive or negative values of Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) which is a probability index that is used to quantify rainfall variability in a particular area. On the basis of SPI, one can define various meteorological conditions in a watershed such as extremely wet, very wet, moderate wet, near normal, moderate dry, severe dry and extreme dry. In this study, SPI based water sustainability assessment has been advocated for the state of Chhattisgarh in India. Chhattisgarh state in India falls under humid sub-tropical region. It is a central state of India which lies between 17°39'40"N to 24°16'52"N latitude and 80°12'2"E to 84°35'49"E longitude. The total geographical area of the state is about 135,097 Km 2 . One of the major problem in this state is that most of its major rivers have torrential regimes characterized by high water flows for short durations such as three to four months during monsoon (June to September). During these months, about 80% of annual runoff flows, floods and droughts are the main characteristics of the annual flow in many of the state's rivers. In this study, first the annual SPI for all the districts in this state has been estimated. Using the SPI, water resources reliability, resiliency and vulnerability for each district is estimated. Thereafter, a distance based approach has been suggested for estimating the water sustainability index (WSI) for all districts. Finally, overall WSI has been estimated using distance based multi criteria approach. It has been found that the overall WSI for the state of Chhattisgarh in India is about 0.47 which is indicative of moderate water sustainability conditions.

“…), causes damage to the crop in the range of 9-96% across different agro-climatic conditions of India (Hasan and Singh 2011). Patel et al (2004) reported Lipaphis erysimi as the most serious pest affecting mustard crop and causing yield loss in the range of 35.4-91.3% under different thermal environments in eastern central India. Kular and Kumar (2011) conducted field studies to assess the losses in seed yield of different Brassica species (B. juncea, B. napus, B. carinata, B. rapa and Eruca sativa) due to infestation of insect pests.…”

Development of PR genes panel for screening aphid-tolerant cultivars in Brassica juncea

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The exorbitant yield loss incurred by Indian farmers every year (10-90%) in rapeseed-mustard (Brassica juncea) is chiefly attributed to the progressive infestation of mustard fields by Lipaphis erysimi (Kalt.), a major insect pest belonging to the family of Homoptera. Currently there are no successful tolerant cultivars developed by conventional means in Brassica juncea with systemic plant responses in the form of direct or indirect defenses against aphid attack. Lack of specific methods for screening large numbers of genotypes required in breeding for selection of tolerant cultivars in mustard is one of the main causes of slow progress in developing resistant varieties of Brassica juncea. Traditional phenotype-based breeding has to be augmented with recent molecular approaches for potential genotype selection and cultivar development in Brassica juncea. In current study a pathogen-responsive gene panel was developed which could be used for expression-assisted breeding program in mustard for selection of tolerant types against aphid infestation, minimizing the huge crop losses suffered by farmers every year.
