season, 2019. A category of insect was recorded on four sucking and six solid feeder insect. The population of Jassid, cowbug and leaf webber were recorded from 32nd SW to 50th SW where population rang was 0.33±0.58-6.67±2.31, 0.67±0.19-3.00±0.33 and 1.33±0.58-9.33±0.58 insect/week, respectively. The maximum population of pod bug (10.67±1.53 bug/plant/week), green bug (5.00±1.0053 bug/plant/week), spotted pod borer (8.67±0.58 larvae/plant/week), blister beetle (2.67±1.15 adults/plant/week), pod fly (5.00±1.00 larvae/plant/week), pod borer (8.33±0.58 larvae/plant/week) and plum moth (4.33±0.58 larvae/plant/week) were recorded from 10th, 44th, 48th, 44th, 45th, 49th and 49th SW, respectively.

Field experiment was conducted in single factor randomized complete block designed to evaluate effect of different color polythene mulch and net house on insect pest incidence of brinjal in chitwan, nepal during october 2016 to may 2017. Five different treatment were selected with four replications, included net house with black polythene mulch, black polythene mulch only, reflective polythene mulch only and black polythene mulch with emamectin benzoate 5%sg spray and control (no mulch+ no net + no pesticide spray)  . The result revealed that the net house totally restricts the brinjal shoot and fruit borer whereas black polythene mulch with emamectin benzoate spray plot reduced brinjal shoot and fruit borer larvae upto 70.58%. Total marketable yield was found highest in the black polythene mulch with emamectin benzoate spray plot (49.17 mt /ha) followed by black polythene mulch only (38.59 mt/ha) and lowest in control plot (28.53 mt/ha). Damaged fruit percentage by brinjal fruit and shoot borer was highest in the control (35.68%) followed by black polythene mulch (28.10%), reflective polythene mulch (19.02%) and lowest in net house with black polythene mulch (0%). The damaged weight inside the net house with black polythene mulch and black mulch with pesticide were significantly different whereas the damaged weight in other treatments similar which proved that there was no effect of mulch on brinjal shoot and fruit borer. The B:C ratio was the highest (3.34:1) in the black polythene mulch with emamectin benzoate spray plot while the lowest in net with black polythene mulch (1.68:1). Although the B:C ratio was lower in the net with black polythene mulch due to the low yield in the winter season. Creation of suitable soil environment by black polythene mulch and being biologically originated, having minimum residual effect and short half-life of emamectin benzoate, black polythene mulch with emamectin benzoate can be used for the eco-friendly management of brinjal shoot and fruit borer.

Abstract To evaluate resistance against sucking insect pest of cotton 16 cultivars were used along with their economic yield and fiber traits. Population of jassid, whitefly and thrips was recorded by using leaf turn method, yield of seed cotton was determined by hand harvesting method, while qualitative fiber properties were measured through high volume instrumentation (HVI) method. Best yield performance and staple length was of FH- 158 (4000 kg/ha) (28.1 mm), respectively. Cotton cultivar FH-172 showed resistance toward jassid and thrips but FH-158 showed resistance against jassid. Thus these resistance cultivars along with other cultivars possessing resistance against insect pest should be explored. Additional research should identify the part of one pest species on the yield and fiber quality of cotton by managing other pest species to define better management strategies.

During post evaluation on the restoration of Diptercarpus bourdillonii, a critically endangered tree of the Southern Western Ghats, Kerala; incidence of Sahyadrassus malabaricus (Moore) (Lepidoptera: Hepialidae) was found out first time as host plant for the insect-pest. The pest had severe impact on survival of planted seedlings and estimated 60-70% loss after 2-3 years of planting. The pest incidence recorded thus becomes the major factor affecting the restoration success of the species in situ compared least occurrence ex situ extent plantation potential of the species.

This study assessed the insect pest infestation of tomato during 2011 and 2012 in three localities namely Bula Kuliye, Kajeri and Soye of Bama Local Government Area, Borno State, Nigeria. Fifty plants were randomly checked per farmers’ field for insect pest recovery and count. Sampling was carried out in five to nine farmers’ fields per locality. With 38-52 %, 9-62 %, 13-39 % and 5-9 % species composition respectively across localities, Helicoverpa armigera Hubner (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) followed by Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) were more predominant insect pests of tomato in these localities over Tetranychus sp. (Acari: Tetranichidae) and Spodoptera litoralis (Boisd.) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). Total proportion of infested tomato plants per farmers’ field ranged from 19-36 %, and was significantly higher in Bula Kuliye and Kajeri than in Soye. Total number of insect pests per plant/leave and bored fruits per farmers’ field fell between 2-5 and 21-35, and likewise, was higher in Bula Kuliye and Kajeri than in Soye. Although tomato plant infestation and fruit damage were found to be moderate or high in these localities, future studies on the bionomics or population dynamics of these insects remain essential for establishing their economic status.

The vegetables belonging to family cucurbitaceae are known as cucurbits. These vegetables are attacked by various insect pests right from seeding to harvest. A lot of money, time, and natural resources are invested to cultivate these vegetables. Sustainable pest management practices can save this investment by avoiding losses. Successful cultivation of cucurbits especially cucumber requires an effective and economical control of insect pests. Commercial vegetable growers must produce quality vegetables that are attractive and safe to the consumer at a minimum cost. Insect pest infestations in cucurbits cause heavy economic losses to farmers through reduction in yield, increased cost of production and lowered quality of produce. Effective and economic and sustainable pest management requires the use of cultural, mechanical, biological, and chemical methods. The integration of these different methods is necessary for achieving good management of pests. In case of cucurbits especially for cucumber pest management can be achieved only by a long-term assurance to integrated pest management practices (IPM). IPM involves the strategic use of resistant varieties, monitoring of pest incidence, cultural methods, mechanical removal of pest, biological control, and need based use of selective pesticides. Integrated pest management (IPM) is the alternative to insecticide and facilitates sustainable environment management.
