Course Title – Pests of crop and stored grain and their management
a. Red headed hairy caterpillar: Amsacta albistriga/
Amsacta moorei ( Arctiidae : Lepidoptera)
• Adults are medium sized moths
• Fore wings are white with brown streaks all over the wing
• Yellowish streak along the anterior margin of the fore wing
• Hind wings are white with with black markings
• A prominent yellow band is found on the head
• Predominant in South India
Amsacta albistriga
• Fore wings and hind wings are white in colour with dark markings
• The red streak along the anterior margin of the fore wing
• A prominent red band is found on the head
• Predominant in North India
Amsacta moorei
Life cycle of the pest
Egg :- Eggs are cream coloured or bright yellowin colour and
laid in groups or in clusters on the available host plants or
occasionally on the vegetation, clods of the earth, stones, dry
twigs etc., Each female lays – 600 – 700 eggs Maximum – 2300
eggs/ female I.P – 3-4 days
Larva : passes 7 instars Hairy caterpillar reddish brown with black
band on either end and having reddish brown hair all over the
body, L.P – 25-40 days
Pupa : the grown up larvae burrow the moist soiland
pupate in the earthen soil P.P- 9-10 days
Nature and symptoms of damage
❖ The larvae hatch from the eggs feed gregariously
by scarping the green matter or skeletonization on
the under surface of the young leaflets leaving the
upper epidermal layer intact
❖ Later feed voraciously on the leaves leaving the
petiole and midribs and main stem of the plants
❖ They march from field to field in a gregarious
manner
❖ The affected field appear as if grazed by cattle
Alternate hosts : Sorghum, Cotton, Ragi, Castor,
Cowpea, Sunflower, Sesamum etc.,
b.Bihar hairy caterpillar: Spilosoma obliqua
( Arctiidae : Lepidoptera )
• Adult is a medium sized moth pale buff in colour
with black spots
• Body is crimson and black spotted
Eggs : are laid in groups of 40-60 on the under surface of the leaves
Each female lays 500 – 1300eggs I.P – 3-4 days
Larva:the fully grown caterpillar is hairy and orange in colour with
two ends are black in colour L.p – 14-20 Days
The cocoon and pupa,
Pupa : pupation takes place in soil or dried leavesP.P- 16-22 days
❖ Early instars feed gregariously by scraping the green matter
as a result skeletonization
❖ The grown up instars feed on entire leaves causes defoliation
Nature and symptom of damage
Management
• Deep summer ploughing.
• Avoid pre monsoon sowing.
• Use optimum seed rate.
• Adequate plant spacing should be provided
• Collect & destroy infested plant parts, egg masses and young larvae.
• Field Sanitation: Remove the infested plant parts at least once in 10 days and bury them
in compost pit to monitor and reduce the population.
• Light Trap: Install one light trap (200W mercury vapour lamp) per hectare to catch the
adults of some nocturnal pests such as hairy caterpillar (positively phototropic).
• Apply chlorpyriphos 20 EC @ 1.5 lit/ha or trizophos 40 EC @ 0.8 Lit/ha or quinalphos 25
EC @ 1.5 lit/ha.
• Dust Chlorpyriphos 1.5% DP quinalphos 1.5% @ 25kg/ha when the population is likely
to reach 10/m row length (ETL). Repeat it as needed.
Tobacco caterpillar: Spodoptera litura
( Noctuidae : Lepidoptera )
Adult is a medium sized moth
FW – are brown in colour with zigzag white markings
HW – are white in colour with brown patch along the margin
Eggs are laid in masses and covered by body hair and
laid on ventral surface of the leaf.
• After December particularly after heavy rains, heavy infestation develops
• Larvae is polyphagous and appear on ground nut crop both in vegetative
phase at the time of pod formation
Nature of damage
Larva fed on the leaf
❖ Early instars are gregarious and feed on chlorophyll tissues and
cause skeletonization
❖ Later instars they disperse and feed on leaf voraciously and
damaged fields looks like grazed by cattle.
❖ The larvae of 2nd and 3rd instar enter the ground pods by making a hole
near calyx and feed on ground nut seed
Gram pod borer: Heliocoverpa armigera
( Noctuidae : Lepidoptera )
Adult moth Caterpillar
▪ Mostly seen from November on wards when ground nut plant enters
in to reproductive phase
▪ Caterpillar feed on the leaves irregularly and thus causes defoliation
▪ Later feeds on flowers and flower buds
Caterpillar feed on the flower buds and leaves
ETL: 2 early instar larvae/plant 5-8 eggs/plant
• Pheromone traps for Helicoverpa armigera 12/ha
• Bird perches 50/ha
• Hand picking of grown up larvae and blister beetles
• Ha NPV 1.5 x1012 POB/ha with teepol (1 ml/lit.)
• Apply any one of the following (Spray fluid 625 ml/ha)
• Dichlorvos 76 WSC 625 ml/ha
• Neem seed kernel extract 5% (31.0 kg/ha) twice followed by
• Triazophos 40 EC 780 ml/ha
• Neem oil 12.5 lit./ha
• Phosalone 35 EC 1.25 lit./ha
MANAGEMENT
•It occurs on redgram, horsegram and other pulses and green
manure crop like sunhemp.The larvae feed on floral parts, newly
formed pods and seeds in developing pods. Faecal pellets inside
damaged pods and small round holes on redgram pods plugged
with excreta can be noticed.
PEA POD BORER:- Etiella zinckenella
Pyralidae: Lepidoptera
Larval – greenish initially, turns pink before pupation.
It has 5 black spots on the prothorax
Adult
Brownish grey moth
Prothorax – orange in colour
Fore wing - has a white stripe along the
anterior margin
•Management of gram caterpillar is effective against this pest.

LIFE CYCLE:
 Thepest isactive from OctobertoApril
 The moths appear in October and lay upto 900 eggs on the
undersurfaceof leaves, shoots,steams or insoil.

DAMAGE:
 The caterpillars come out from their breeding placesat
nightand becomeactive.
 Cutting down the young plantof gram, vegetables
seedlingsetc.
 Justaboveorslightly below thesurfaceof soil.
 Thecutawaygram seedlings in the field are indication of
itsattack
CONTROL:
Cultural control:
 Hand hoeing
 Clean cultivation should bedone
 The bait is placed in small heap in the infested field in the evening
Mechanical control:
 Trapping the moths by lighttraps
 Hand picking
BIOLOGICAL CONTROL:
 The pest is control by insectpredators
CHEMICAL CONTROL:
 Spray CYPERMETHRIN+MONOCROTOPHOS EC 500ml/acre
 It is also control by using poisonedBRAN MASH

Insect pest of urd, moong and gram and their management

  • 1. Course No. AENT – 5312 Course Title – Pests of crop and stored grain and their management
  • 2. a. Red headed hairy caterpillar: Amsacta albistriga/ Amsacta moorei ( Arctiidae : Lepidoptera) • Adults are medium sized moths • Fore wings are white with brown streaks all over the wing • Yellowish streak along the anterior margin of the fore wing • Hind wings are white with with black markings • A prominent yellow band is found on the head • Predominant in South India Amsacta albistriga
  • 3. • Fore wings and hind wings are white in colour with dark markings • The red streak along the anterior margin of the fore wing • A prominent red band is found on the head • Predominant in North India Amsacta moorei
  • 4. Life cycle of the pest Egg :- Eggs are cream coloured or bright yellowin colour and laid in groups or in clusters on the available host plants or occasionally on the vegetation, clods of the earth, stones, dry twigs etc., Each female lays – 600 – 700 eggs Maximum – 2300 eggs/ female I.P – 3-4 days Larva : passes 7 instars Hairy caterpillar reddish brown with black band on either end and having reddish brown hair all over the body, L.P – 25-40 days Pupa : the grown up larvae burrow the moist soiland pupate in the earthen soil P.P- 9-10 days
  • 5. Nature and symptoms of damage ❖ The larvae hatch from the eggs feed gregariously by scarping the green matter or skeletonization on the under surface of the young leaflets leaving the upper epidermal layer intact ❖ Later feed voraciously on the leaves leaving the petiole and midribs and main stem of the plants ❖ They march from field to field in a gregarious manner ❖ The affected field appear as if grazed by cattle Alternate hosts : Sorghum, Cotton, Ragi, Castor, Cowpea, Sunflower, Sesamum etc.,
  • 6. b.Bihar hairy caterpillar: Spilosoma obliqua ( Arctiidae : Lepidoptera ) • Adult is a medium sized moth pale buff in colour with black spots • Body is crimson and black spotted
  • 7. Eggs : are laid in groups of 40-60 on the under surface of the leaves Each female lays 500 – 1300eggs I.P – 3-4 days Larva:the fully grown caterpillar is hairy and orange in colour with two ends are black in colour L.p – 14-20 Days The cocoon and pupa, Pupa : pupation takes place in soil or dried leavesP.P- 16-22 days
  • 8. ❖ Early instars feed gregariously by scraping the green matter as a result skeletonization ❖ The grown up instars feed on entire leaves causes defoliation Nature and symptom of damage
  • 9. Management • Deep summer ploughing. • Avoid pre monsoon sowing. • Use optimum seed rate. • Adequate plant spacing should be provided • Collect & destroy infested plant parts, egg masses and young larvae. • Field Sanitation: Remove the infested plant parts at least once in 10 days and bury them in compost pit to monitor and reduce the population. • Light Trap: Install one light trap (200W mercury vapour lamp) per hectare to catch the adults of some nocturnal pests such as hairy caterpillar (positively phototropic). • Apply chlorpyriphos 20 EC @ 1.5 lit/ha or trizophos 40 EC @ 0.8 Lit/ha or quinalphos 25 EC @ 1.5 lit/ha. • Dust Chlorpyriphos 1.5% DP quinalphos 1.5% @ 25kg/ha when the population is likely to reach 10/m row length (ETL). Repeat it as needed.
  • 10. Tobacco caterpillar: Spodoptera litura ( Noctuidae : Lepidoptera ) Adult is a medium sized moth FW – are brown in colour with zigzag white markings HW – are white in colour with brown patch along the margin Eggs are laid in masses and covered by body hair and laid on ventral surface of the leaf. • After December particularly after heavy rains, heavy infestation develops • Larvae is polyphagous and appear on ground nut crop both in vegetative phase at the time of pod formation
  • 11. Nature of damage Larva fed on the leaf ❖ Early instars are gregarious and feed on chlorophyll tissues and cause skeletonization ❖ Later instars they disperse and feed on leaf voraciously and damaged fields looks like grazed by cattle. ❖ The larvae of 2nd and 3rd instar enter the ground pods by making a hole near calyx and feed on ground nut seed
  • 12. Gram pod borer: Heliocoverpa armigera ( Noctuidae : Lepidoptera ) Adult moth Caterpillar ▪ Mostly seen from November on wards when ground nut plant enters in to reproductive phase ▪ Caterpillar feed on the leaves irregularly and thus causes defoliation ▪ Later feeds on flowers and flower buds Caterpillar feed on the flower buds and leaves
  • 13. ETL: 2 early instar larvae/plant 5-8 eggs/plant • Pheromone traps for Helicoverpa armigera 12/ha • Bird perches 50/ha • Hand picking of grown up larvae and blister beetles • Ha NPV 1.5 x1012 POB/ha with teepol (1 ml/lit.) • Apply any one of the following (Spray fluid 625 ml/ha) • Dichlorvos 76 WSC 625 ml/ha • Neem seed kernel extract 5% (31.0 kg/ha) twice followed by • Triazophos 40 EC 780 ml/ha • Neem oil 12.5 lit./ha • Phosalone 35 EC 1.25 lit./ha MANAGEMENT
  • 14. •It occurs on redgram, horsegram and other pulses and green manure crop like sunhemp.The larvae feed on floral parts, newly formed pods and seeds in developing pods. Faecal pellets inside damaged pods and small round holes on redgram pods plugged with excreta can be noticed. PEA POD BORER:- Etiella zinckenella Pyralidae: Lepidoptera
  • 15. Larval – greenish initially, turns pink before pupation. It has 5 black spots on the prothorax
  • 16. Adult Brownish grey moth Prothorax – orange in colour Fore wing - has a white stripe along the anterior margin
  • 17. •Management of gram caterpillar is effective against this pest.

  • 20. IDENTIFICATION: EGGS: Yellowishwhite LARVAE: Dark grey incolour ADULT: Heavy bodied, Grayish-brown or wheatcolour EGGS LARVAE ADULT
  • 21. LIFE CYCLE:  Thepest isactive from OctobertoApril  The moths appear in October and lay upto 900 eggs on the undersurfaceof leaves, shoots,steams or insoil.  Theeggs hatch inoneweek during summer and intwo weeks during winter  LARVAE Full grown in 4 to 7weeks  PUPATE for two weeks in thesoil.  The life cycle is completed in 7-11weeks  There are generally two Generationsin year
  • 22. DAMAGE:  The caterpillars come out from their breeding placesat nightand becomeactive.  Cutting down the young plantof gram, vegetables seedlingsetc.  Justaboveorslightly below thesurfaceof soil.  Thecutawaygram seedlings in the field are indication of itsattack
  • 23. CONTROL: Cultural control:  Hand hoeing  Clean cultivation should bedone  The bait is placed in small heap in the infested field in the evening Mechanical control:  Trapping the moths by lighttraps  Hand picking BIOLOGICAL CONTROL:  The pest is control by insectpredators CHEMICAL CONTROL:  Spray CYPERMETHRIN+MONOCROTOPHOS EC 500ml/acre  It is also control by using poisonedBRAN MASH
