  10. KEY ISSUES Fall Army Worm- Maize Rogosespiriling whitefly in palms Phalaris minor weedicide resistance in wheat Pink Ball Worm-cotton: Maharashtra, Gujarat Wheat Blast: areas adjoining to Bangladesh Management for Yellow Rust & Karnal Bunt Enforcement of quality standards for seeds pesticides and other inputs Management of crop residues and avoid burning

  11. Paddy Straw Residue Management • MACHINES FOR IN-SITU CROP RESIDUE MANAGEMENT • Super Straw Management • System Hydraulic Reversible M.B. Plough Happy Seeder • Paddy Straw Chopper/ Shredder ROTARY MULCHER Shrub Master Rotavator Zero Till Seed cum Fertilizer Drill

  12. FALL ARMY WORM: MAIZE • MAIZE in INDIA • 27.2 million ton, 9.1 million ha • Fall Army Worm (Spodopterafrugiperda) • Outbreak in Africa 2016, now in Asia – India, China, Thailand, Myanmar, Pakistan, Vietnam, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh • Entered India 2018: Karnataka, Tamilnadu, AP, Telangana • Wide host range 80 species, Polyphagus • Alert sent to states: States took the action • Surveillance, Monitoring – Pheromones, scouting • Contain & suppress insect • Avoid staggered sowing, prefer intercropping • IPM, Advisory on Website : • First 30 days of sowing important • Chemical control: • Cyantraniliprole 19.8% +Thiomethoxam 19.8% Seed treatment • Spinosad 0.3ml/lt • Thiomethoxam 12.6% + Lambda cyhalothrin 9.5% ZC 4. • Chlorantraniliprole 18.5% SC • Biological control: • Spray 5%NSKE/ Azadirachtin 1500 ppm • NPV, Metarhiziumanisopliae, Entomophagaaplicae, Nomuraearilevi, Eryniaradicans, Bacillus thuringensis, Trichogramma, Telenomus

  13. RugoseSpiralling Whitefly in Palms • Intrusion to India: 2016: Kerala, TN, AP, Telangana, Karnataka • Polyphagous: Coconut, Oilpalm, • Application of 1% starch solution on leaflets to flake out the sooty moulds. • Installation of Yellow sticky traps on the palm trunk to trap adult whiteflies. • Encourage build up of parasitoids (Encarsia sp.), predator (Dichochrysa sp.) and reintroduction. • Spray Entomopathogenic fungus Isari fumosorosea on the affected plants. • In severe case, spray neem oil 1% • Do not spray unwanted insecticides, it may harm natural enemies.
