Pests of Blackgram, greengram, cowpea_Dr.UPR.pdfPirithiRaju
Blackgram, greengram, and cowpea are all leguminous crops that are vulnerable to similar pests. Some of the common pests affecting these crops include:
Pod Borer (Helicoverpa armigera): The larvae of this moth species bore into the pods and feed on the developing seeds of blackgram, greengram, and cowpea, leading to yield losses.
Aphids: Aphids can infest the leaves and stems of these crops, causing stunted growth, leaf curling, and the transmission of viral diseases.
Whiteflies: Similar to aphids, whiteflies feed on the sap of the plants and can transmit viral diseases. They also excrete honeydew, promoting the growth of sooty mold.
Thrips: Thrips are small insects that feed on the leaves and flowers of blackgram, greengram, and cowpea, causing damage and reducing plant vigor.
Bean Fly (Ophiomyia spp.): The larvae of bean flies tunnel into the stems and pods of these crops, causing wilting, stem breakage, and reduced yield.
Leafhoppers: Leafhoppers are sap-sucking insects that can transmit viral diseases to blackgram, greengram, and cowpea plants, leading to yield losses.
Cutworms: Cutworm larvae can cut the stems of young plants at the soil level, leading to plant lodging and reduced stand establishment.
Armyworms: Armyworm larvae feed on the leaves of these crops, leading to defoliation and reduced photosynthesis.
Leaf Miner (Liriomyza spp.): The larvae of leaf miner flies tunnel into the leaves of blackgram, greengram, and cowpea, causing characteristic serpentine mines and reducing leaf area for photosynthesis.
To manage these pests, integrated pest management (IPM) practices can be employed, including crop rotation, use of resistant varieties, conservation of natural enemies, and judicious use of pesticides when necessary. Early detection and monitoring of pest populations are also crucial for effective pest management in these crops.
Advances in Citrus Breeding (Sanjay Chetry).pptxsanjaychetry2
Citrus constitutes a major group of fruits comprising of mandarins, oranges, lemon, pummelo, grape
fruit, tangelo, trifoliate orange, citron, citranges etc.
Citrus fruits have important position among other popular fruits of the world. It is one of the popular fruit crops of both tropical and subtropical region of the world due to its wide adaptability to different climatic conditions.
Of all Citrus species, there are numerous cultivars and hybrids. A wide range of variability exist in citrus with respect to fruit morphology and quality. The smallest fruits are the limes, which scarcely exceeds 30 cm, while pummelo may attain a diameter of 30 cm. Fruit and rind colour ranges from the yellow-green of the limes to the red orange of some mandarins and shape varies from oblate to pyriform. At maturity, fruits of some cultivars are high in acid while others have almost none. Tree size also exhibits tremendous range. Altogether there is a tremendous amount of variability within the genus with which the Breeder can work and closely related genera provide even a wider selection of characters. Several man-made and natural hybrids are now available for use in breeding programmes as parents.
Problems in citrus breeding:
1. Incompatibility
2. Nucellar embryony
3. Juvenility
Breeding objectives:
Producing early maturing citrus fruits with high yield and fruit quality.
To breed varieties suitable for different agro-ecological region.
To develop varieties having less tendency of granulation.
To breed varieties suitable for export.
In rootstock breeding, the main emphasis has been given on the development of root stock resistant to tristeza virus, Phytophthora, nematodes, etc.
Most of the breeding programmes make use of Poncirus, which is a carrier of resistance to tristeza, Phytophthora and nematodes besides cold hardiness.
Salt tolerant rootstocks have also been found possible in some progenies involving Cleopatra and Sunki mandarin and Rangpur lime.
Breeding Methods:
1. Introduction
2. Clonal Selection
3. Hybridization
4. Mutation breeding
5. Polyploidy breeding
Shoot tip Grafting :
Shoot Tip Grafting (STG) or Micrografting is an in vitro technique which involves the placement of a meristem or shoot tip explants on to a decapitated rootstock that has been grown aseptically from seed or micropropagated cultures. (Hartmann et al., 2002). In Citrus, STG was first developed by Murashige et al. (1972) and later improved by Navarro et al. in 1975. This technique was further improved in 1975 by Navarro, Roistacher and Murashige where they tested various media formulas, diffèrent ways of placement of scion tip, different rootstocks, light intensities and size of scion on graft success. STG potentially can combine the advantages of rapid in vitro multiplication with increased productivity that results from grafting, superior rootstock and scion combinations (Zilka et al., 2002).

Here's a list of some common pests that affect Jatropha and management strategies to control them:
Insects
Jatropha Budworm (Stomopteryx subtropica)
These caterpillars attack the flower buds, flowers, and developing fruits, potentially causing significant loss in seed production.
Jatropha Fruit Borer (Pempelia morosalis)
The larvae bore into fruits and feed on the seeds, severely affecting seed yield and quality.
Jatropha Leaf Miner (Stomopteryx subsecivella)
Larvae mine the leaves of Jatropha plants, causing them to dry and fall off, which can reduce photosynthesis and overall plant vigor.
Jatropha Leaf Webber and Capsule Borer (Pempelia palumbella)
These pests can cause damage both by webbing the leaves together and boring into capsules, reducing plant productivity.
Aphids
Aphids can cause damage by sucking the sap from the plant, weakening it and potentially transmitting diseases.
Mealybugs
These pests suck sap from the plant and excrete honeydew, which promotes the growth of sooty mold on the leaves.
Whiteflies
Similar to aphids and mealybugs, whiteflies feed on plant sap and can transmit various plant viruses.
Red Spider Mites
They cause damage by sucking cell contents from the leaves, leading to speckled, discolored, and sometimes curled leaves.
Nematodes
Root-Knot Nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.)
These nematodes infect the roots, causing the formation of galls that impair the plant’s ability to absorb water and nutrients.
Management Strategies
Cultural Control: Regular monitoring and removal of infected plant parts can help reduce pest populations. Crop rotation and maintaining good field sanitation are also beneficial.
Biological Control: Encourage or introduce natural predators and parasitoids that target specific pests, such as lady beetles for aphid control or parasitic wasps for caterpillar management.
Chemical Control: Use insecticides and nematicides judiciously. It's vital to follow integrated pest management (IPM) practices to minimize environmental impact and avoid developing resistance.
Mechanical Control: Physical barriers, such as nets, can protect the plants from bird and some insect pests.
Effective pest management in Jatropha cultivation involves integrating these strategies in a way that balances pest control with environmental considerations. Regular monitoring and timely intervention are crucial to maintaining healthy plants and achieving optimal production levels.

PESTS OF GREEN MANURE CROPS AND FORAGE CROPS
SESBANIA
BORERS
1. Sesbania stem borer, Azygophleps scalaris, Cossidae, Lepidoptera
Symptom of damage: Drying of sesbania plants.
Nature of damage: Stoutly built larva bores into the stem and feeds, the faecal matter getting accumulated at the entrance hole.
Egg: Laid in masses attached to the leaflets.
Larva: Robust larva of 7 cm length, light brown with a reddish brown head.
Pupa: Pupa has spines anteriorly with the help of which it moves up and down inside the tunnel in the stem.
Adult: Sluggish yellowish brown moth.
2. Stem weevil, Alcidodes bubo, Curculionidae, Coleoptera
Symptom of damage: Drying of the terminal branches or whole plant, lodging of the plants during monsoon seasons; affected stem with numerous bore holes and swelling symptoms. Presence of apodous grub inside the stem.
Nature of damage: Grubs riddle into stem and cause thickenings on stem. The growth and vigour of the plants are impaired to a great extent.
Egg: Laid on the stem.
Grub : Apodous whitish grub.
Adult: Reddish brown weevil with white transverse markings on the elytra.
LEAF FEEDERS
3. Green semilooper, Pericyma glaucinans, Noctuidae, Lepidoptera
Symptom of damage: Defoliation of plants preceding with leaflets damage.
Nature of damage: Caterpillar feeds on the leaflets remaining along the ribs of leaves.
Larva : Pale green, semilooper with broad yellow lateral stripes.
Adult: Dark brown with black lines
4. Green looper, Semiothisa pervelgata, Semiothisa emersaria, Geometridae, Lepidoptera
Symptom of damage: Defoliation of plants preceding with leaflets damage.
Nature of damage: Larvae feed on the leaves.
Egg: Oval greenish eggs laid singly on leaves.
Larva : Pale green looper with white lines and when full grown becomes pink with horizontal bands of violet patches dorsally on the abdominal segments.
Pupa: Pupates in the soil.
Adult: White colour with three dark lines and spots on the wings.

The document discusses various insect pests and non-insect pests that affect tea plants, including sucking pests like aphids and leafhoppers, defoliators like tea tortrix and bunch caterpillar, borers like the red borer and shot hole borer, and mites. It describes the life cycles, symptoms of damage, and management strategies for many of the major pests. Effective management involves practices like collection and destruction of infested parts, use of biological controls, and spraying of appropriate insecticides or acaricides.
The citrus nematode, Tylenchulus semipenetrans, is a semi-endoparasitic nematode that causes slow decline in citrus trees. It was first discovered in California in 1913. Mature females have an enlarged posterior end that protrudes from infected root tissues. Eggs are laid in a gelatinous mass on the root surface. Symptoms include yellowing leaves, defoliation, premature fruit drop, and reduced fruit size and number. Control methods include using nematode-free nursery soil, fumigation with carbofuran, and intercropping with resistant plants like onions and garlic.
1. Systematics studies the diversity and classification of organisms to reconstruct their evolutionary history. Taxonomy classifies life into groups based on observable characteristics.
2. There are six kingdoms of life - Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, Animalia. Key characteristics define each kingdom.
3. Carolus Linnaeus established the system of binomial nomenclature for classifying organisms using their genus and species. This provided advantages over common names.
This document discusses important leafy vegetables, their botanical names, and plant protection measures from pests and diseases.

It then describes the main insect pests (aphids, caterpillars, whiteflies, stink bugs) and diseases (damping off, leaf spot, downy mildew, white rust, root rot, powdery mildew, rust) affecting these crops and recommends control methods.
United Plant Savers (UpS) recognizes the importance of sustainable cultivation and conservation of native medicinal plants to ensure their availability for future generations. UpS maintains a list of at-risk native medicinal plants that are declining due to overharvesting and loss of habitat. Their goal is to conserve these plants through cultivation programs and by raising awareness. UpS operates botanical sanctuaries and an educational internship program to promote the restoration and protection of at-risk native medicinal plants.
