Abstract:
Studies on the influence of IPM and non-IPM practices were carried out during Rabi, 2022-23 at Dr YSRHU- College of Horticulture, Venkataramannagudem, West Godavari District, Andhra Pradesh with an objective of examining their influence on pest complex and natural enemies of tuberose pests.
Studies on integrated pest management of tuberose showed that, the mean population of mealybug/ plant in IPM plot (43.59±31.63) was less compared to that of non-IPM plot (49.58±34.39) and control plot (79.48±48.45) number per plant. Significantly less mean larval population of H. armigera was recorded in IPM plot (0.46±0.67) followed by non-IPM plot (0.60±0.84) and control (0.96±1.25). The lowest mean population of red spider mite was observed in IPM (3.36±2.45) compared to non-IPM (5.09±3.54) and control (6.54±4.33). Highest number of natural enemies were recorded in IPM plot (12.29±7.48/ plant) followed by control (8.58±5.23) and non-IPM (3.38±2.39).
