Seasonal Incidence of Insect Pests of Cauliflower in Kullu Valley of Himachal Pradesh
Keywords:
Cauliflower, seasonal incidence, insect pests, correlation.Abstract
Seasonal incidence of insect pests of cauliflower was studied by carrying out a field trial at experimental farm of Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Bajaura, Kullu in the main season crop grown during February-June, 2023. The data revealed that major activity period of the cabbage aphid was observed from 8th to 22nd Standard meteorological week with peak incidence in 12th SMW and the cabbage butterfly was observed from 10th to 22nd SMW with peak incidence in 15th SMW, while the diamondback moth appeared from 9th to 21st SMW with its peak activity in 13th SMW. The cabbage semilooper was observed from 15th to 21st SMW with peak incidence in 19th SMW. The correlation between insect pest population and weather parameters (maximum, minimum temperature, morning, evening relative humidity and rainfall) was found to be non-significant.Downloads
