Experiment Title STUDIES ON POPULATION DYNAMICS AND NATURAL ENEMIES OF SAPOTA MIDRIB FOLDER, Banisia myrsusales elearalis (WALKER) ON ALTERNATIVE HOST
Research Type Departmental Research
Experiment Background Among different foliage insect pests, midrib folder (leaf folder), Banisia myrsusales elearalis (Walker) (Lepidoptera: Thyrididae) is a regular and major pest of sapota particularly in newly planted orchards in south Gujarat agro-ecological situation. Regarding its findings, Jhala et al. (1988) reported midrib folder in south Gujarat area damaging the leaves of Khirnee, a rootstock (Manilkara hexandra) of sapota in nursery. Midrib folder is major pest on sapota and Khirnee (rootstock of sapota) under nursery and field condition, which retard the growth and development of new grafts twig. Therefore, the approach of present study is to identify other alternative hosts of midrib folder and damage intensity in relation crop stages in recent varying ecological situation.
