Abstract:

Cotton is one of the important cash crop of farmers community in India and its production affected by insect pest. In order to determine seasonal incidence of sucking insect pest on Bt cotton and its correlation with weather factors this studies was carried out in 5 blocks of Jalna district. Incidence of sucking insect pests surveyed from 20 randomly selected plants in each plots on weekly interval throughout the season. The results of two years study reveals that highest incidence of Jassid (12.28/3 leaves) observed during 3rd week of October in 2009-10 and (8.28/ 3 leaves) during first week of October in 2010-11. Maximum population of whitefly (34.59/ 3 leaves) observed during 3rd week of October in 2009-10 and (32.55/ 3 leaves) during 3rd weeks of October in 2010-11. Similarly thrips reached at highest peak (36.81/ 3 three leaves) during first week of September in 2009-10 and (42.66/ 3 leaves) during 3rd week of September in 2010-11. Highest incidence of aphid 67% recorded during 4th week of August in 2009-10 and 58% during 2nd week of September in 2010-11. Whereas highest incidence of mealybug observed about 10% during 5th week of September in 2009-10 and 9% incidence during 3rd week of October in 2010-11. Correlation studies revealed that all sucking pest Jassid, Whitefly, Thrips, Aphid and Mealybug shows positive correlation with maximum temperature, minimum temperature and maximum relative humidity in both the season except Mealybug in 2009-10 which had negative correlation. Significant positive correlation observed between Thrips and Aphid with average rainfall during 2009-10. Non-significant negative correlation observed between minimum relative humidity and average rainfall with Jassid, Whitefly, Aphid during 2010-11 and mealybug in both season.
