Tillage Intensity Influences Insect-Pest and Predator Dynamics of Wheat Crop Grown under Different Conservation Agriculture Practices in Rice-Wheat Cropping System of Indo-Gangetic Plain

Abstract: Tillage can alter the soil habitats wherein many insect pests and their natural enemies reside during at least part of their life cycle. To enhance crop productivity and reduce climate change effects, conservation agriculture (CA) with reduced-tillage or no-tillage practices have been advocated to farmers. However, information relating to the effect of CA on insect pests and their natural enemies is very scarce, at least in the Indo-Gangetic region. In this study, the effect of tillage on the abundance of, and… Show more

“…Corn leaf aphid, Rhopalosiphum maidis is basically a serious insect pest of maize crop but it also attacks wheat crop, and is distributed throughout the world i.e. from tropics to temperate regions causing around 25 to 30% yield loss under severe infestation ( Chandrasekhar et al., 2018 ; Jasrotia et al., 2021 ). Aphids are polyphagous pests and cause damage not only to one crop but also attack weeds from the gramineae, cyperaceae, and typhaceae families.…”

“…Thus, we predicted that pollinators (mainly ground-nesting bees in our study region) and the kleptoparasites that depend on them would be harmed by tillage (as in Ullmann et al, 2016). Conversely the directly of tillage impacts on herbivores, parasitoids, and predators varies widely (e.g., Jasrotia et al, 2021; Rowen et al, 2020; Serée et al, 2021; Wichura et al, 2022).…”
