Population Trend, Crop Loss Assessment & Acaricidal Management of Polyphagotarsonemus latus (Banks) (Acari: Tarsonemidae) Infesting Mungbean Under Gangetic Basin Of West Bengal, India
Abstract:Mungbean (Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek), also known as green gram, is one of the important pulse crops grown in West Bengal, India. Mungbean is affected by various insect and non-insect pests, among which the yellow mite, Polyphagotarsonemus latus (Banks) plays an important role amounting huge crop loss. The peak population of the mite (23.2 mites/sq.cm leaf area) encountered during the initial budding stage of the crop and declined thereafter at the end of flowering stage. A tune of 50–80 % crop loss was estima… Show more
