Abstract:
The field experiment was carried out at AICRP on Forage Crop and Utilization, M.P.K.V, Rahuri (M.S.) during Rabi 2019-2020. During the study of seasonal abundance, oat aphid noticed in middle of December 2019 (13.90 aphid/tiller). Thereafter, population of oat aphid showed increasing trend up to middle of February, 2020 (93.20 aphid/tiller). Population of oat aphid decreased thereafter and lowest population was noticed during first week of March, 2020 (12.50 aphid/ tiller). Oat aphid showed negative correlation with minimum temperature and positive correlation with coccinellid predators and Chrysoperla.
Lady bird beetles were active throughout the crop season; initial population was noticed during last week of December, 2019 (01 LBB/tiller). The population of grub of lady bird beetles started increasing simultaneously with aphid population and reached to its peak during first week of February, 2020 (3.40 LBB/tiller). The lady bird beetle population was negatively correlated with minimum temperature and chrysoperla and positively with oat aphids.
