Efficacy of ipm modules against mango hopper complex

Evaluation of integrated pest management modulation for mitigation of pesticide residues in mango

“…Overall, the pest population reduction efficiency of the modules was compared, resulting in the PRMM-II reducing the pest population up to 90.79 %, followed by PRMM-I, with 83.61 %. Similarly, PRMM-III reduced the pest population up to 75.78 %, while 72.18 % was reduced by PRMM-IV, as already reported by Bana et al (2015). In their study, Bana et al (2015) formulated five modules to mitigate the population of mango hopper in mango orchards.…”

Survey Based Diversity of Mango Insect Pests at Jawaharlal Nehru Krishi Vishwa Vidyalaya, Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, India

“…India has 188 species of which 188 have been documented [4]. Hoppers species such as Amritodus atkinsoni Lethierry, Idioscopus clypealis Lethierry, and Idioscopus nitidulus Walker stay active and inflict up to 100% losses in mango crops from the emergence of new flush through flowering cum fruit setting stages [5,6]. Both nymph and adult hoppers have been seen sucking cell sap from young leaves, fragile shoots, inflorescences or panicles, and the rachis of young fruits, preventing flowers from blooming and immature fruits from falling.…”

“…During the study period peak periods were recorded mango hopper highly associate with month Feb.-July, thrips, ash grey beetle andmidge highly recorded at month Feb.-April, shoot borer highly associated with month Feb.-Sept., peak period in fruit flies May-July, leaf webber highly recorded in month Jan.-Feb. & Oct.-Dec., leaf miner in March., stem borer in month Jan.-Dec., scale insects were highly recorded in month March-April & Oct.-Dec., giant mealy bug in month June-July & Dec., mites/spider March-April, red ants Jan.-July, Bark eating caterpillar Jan.-April & Sep.-Nov., fruit borers were highly recorded in month April-July, termites highly recorded in month Jan. & Sep.-Dec., shoot gall psylla Feb.-May, mango seed weevil or mango nut weevil or mango stone weevil Mar.-June, lady bird beetle April, parasitoids (Chrysocharis pentheus) April-May, green bottle fly Mar.-May, damsel fly April-May, respectively. Thrips have also been identified as a significant pest and yield limiting factor in south Gujarat and elsewhere[5].…”
