IDENTIFICATION OF INSECT PARASITOIDS
A parasitoid is an insect living on or in the body of another insect, called the host from which it gets protection and food during its immature stage and the adults are free living.
In a typical case, eggs are laid on or in the body of the host, the larvae feed on the body contents of the host, pupate either inside or on the host body and emerge as adults.
The hosts are not killed immediately. Most of the parasitoids belong to Hymenoptera (90%) and Diptera (10%).
type of parasitism
Superparasitism:-
When more than one adult of the same species attack the host.
Eg:-Trichospilus pupivara -opisina arenosella
Multiparasitism:-
More than one species attack the host
Eg:-Bethylids and braconids - o.arenosella
Hyperparasitism:-
When a parasitiod is attacked by another parasitiod.
Eg:- Aphid - Aphidius -asaphess
Most insect parasitoid are waps and flies
Most of parasitoides belong to -hymenoptera and diptera
1.Hymenoptera
The ovipositor originates and protrudes ventrally from the abdomen and is used to insert eggs into their hosts. There are three super families.
a) Super Family : ICHNEUMONOIDEA
* Possess long and filiform antennae
* Wings are veined

Alternate bearing in mango and apple
Alternate bearing refers to the tendency of some plants to produce heavy yields of fruit in one year followed by a light yield the next year in a cyclical pattern. This causes significant economic problems for growers by creating inconsistent supply and lower quality crops in heavy yield years. Several theories exist for the cause of alternate bearing, including hormonal imbalance and competition between vegetative and reproductive growth, and it can be influenced by both endogenous genetic and environmental factors. Common measures used by growers to overcome biennial bearing include proper orchard management, regulating flowering, thinning crops, pruning, and growing cultivars less prone to the issue.
Marker assisted selection for complex traits in agricultural crops
Marker-assisted selection (MAS) uses DNA markers linked to traits of interest to assist plant breeders in selecting desirable plants. MAS has advantages over phenotypic selection like enabling selection at early stages. MAS breeding schemes include marker-assisted backcrossing to introgress traits while minimizing linkage drag, and pyramiding to combine multiple genes/QTLs. Case studies demonstrate using MAS to develop rice varieties with submergence tolerance and improve yield traits. However, limitations include inconsistent QTL-marker associations across environments and difficulties evaluating complex trait genetics like epistasis. Future work aims to optimize MAS efficiency and integration with plant breeding.

cultivation practices of guar/cluster bean
- 2. Guar is a drought tolerant annual legume plant , widely grown for its gum, vegetable , fodder and green manure values in different countries. It is scientifically named as Cyamopsis tetragonoloba Guar fits well into a crop-rotating program. It is a deep, tap- rooted summer legume and is an excellent soil-improving crop. It works well in rotation with cotton, grain sorghum, small grains, vegetable and flax.
- 3. Moderate, intermediate rain fall with lots of sunshine helps for better growth Cluster bean can be grown on all types of soils. but medium textures sandy loam soils are better for its growth Soil and climatic conditions required for guar
- 4. 5-8 kg seed is required /acre.(Certified pesticide treated seed will reduce the pest or disease incidence up to 30days) Sowing time basically depends on availability of rains (30-40 mm at a single stance) and closely follows monsoon rains in the Kharif season Average spacing of 45-60X 20-30 cm is necessary during plantation of guar. however during rainy season seeds are planted on ridges while in furrows during summer How guar is planted ?
- 5. Application of 1 bag DAP and 10kg zinc sulphate per acre required for getting better yields, zinc sprays at 15 days and 30days interval are also also beneficial Up to 30-40 days from sowing guar fields have to be maintained strictly weed free for this pre emergence application of atrazin 1lt/acre can be recommended 2-3 irrigations for heavy soils, for light soils 4-5 irrigations are necessary
- 6. Harvest the pods when the seed pods are brown and dry and when moisture content is not more than 14 percent Acephate or Cholorpyriphos or Quinalphos spray during 40-50 days after plantation protect the crop from hopper and other insect damage 14 -15 quintals of guar seed yield can be uptained from hectare area
- 7. Economics of guar cultivation Seed rate- 5kg/acre (seed cost Rs2500/kg) Cost of cultivation RS 5000-6000/acre Production(yield)- 5 quintals/acre Marker cost of 1 quintal is Rs 5000-15,000/- Total returns Rs 25000-75000/acre
- 8. Thank you
