Population dynamics of shoot and fruit borer of okra in relation to abiotic factor at Pantnagar

Studies on annual life history of okra shoot and fruit borer, Earias vittella (Fabricius) on okra under mid hills of Himachal Pradesh

“…Among the developmental stages, pupal stage experienced maximum mean survival (72.73%). Present ndings differ with those ofRajveer et al (2018) who reported maximum mortality in larval stage under laboratory conditions and also with Kumar et al…”

“…The female measured 8.96 to 12.98 mm and 19.86 to 23.79 mm in length and breadth, respectively. Female possessed prominent ovipositor and was V-shaped at the end of anal part and it deposited eggs singly or 2-3 eggs at a time Rajveer et al (2018). have also observed similar features in female of E. vittella.…”

Predictive models of major insect-pests of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L.) for their management under Terai region of West Bengal, India

“…The multiplication of these pests has been found to be favoured by environmental factors. Therefore, knowledge on the population dynamics of insect-pests throughout the growing season of okra can become sound and economical (Das et al 2011;Rajveer et al 2018). Population dynamics of the insect pests provides not only the information of appearance on the pest but also the peak activity of the particular pest which can be used for designing pest management strategy.…”
