A field experiment was carried out during kharif 2021 to evaluate the efficacy of some insecticides against Spodoptera litura (F) and Helicoverpa armigera (Hubn) on groundnut. Amongst these, chlorantraniliprole 18.5SC @ 30g a.i. ha-1 proved to be the most effective with least larval counts (0.93 and 1.00 plant-1, respectively) and efficacy (63.27 and 63.70%, respectively) against S. litura and H. armigera, respectively after two sprays. This was followed by cyantraniliprole 10OD @ 90g a.i. ha-1 and novaluron 5.25+ indoxacarb 4.5SC @ 39.38+ 33.77g a.i. ha-1 giving maximum groundnut yield (22.37 q ha-1) with 52% increase over untreated control. The evaluation of economics revealed that chlorantraniliprole 18.5SC gave the highest monetary return, net income (Rs. 55765.00) and cost: benefit ratio (1:6.80).

A field experiment was carried out during kharif 2020, at the Agricultural College Farm, Bapatla to evaluate the efficacy of some insecticides in combination with neem against rice planthoppers in direct seeded rice crop. The results showed that triflumezopyrim 10.6SC @ 25g a.i. ha-1 was the most effective treatment against both brown planthopper Nilaparvata lugens (Stål) and white backed planthopper Sogatella furcifera (Horváth) with 73.61 and 77.69% reductions over untreated control, respectively at 5 DAT. The other effective treatments were dinotefuran 20SG @ 40 g a.i. ha-1 and pymetrozine 50WG @ 150 g a.i. ha-1 with 70.14 and 66.44% reduction of N. lugens and 71.89 and 69.66% reduction of S. furcifera, respectively over untreated control at 5 DAT. Neem formulation 1500 ppm revealed the lowest efficacy with 34.95 and 36.19% reduction of N. lugens and S. furcifera over the untreated control at 5 DAT.

Four aphid species (Schizaphis graminum, Sitobion avenae, Rhopalosiphum padi and Diuraphis noxia) were observed when the population dynamics of aphids in four wheat varieties were analysed. Maximum population abundance (104± 1.79 aphids/ plant) was observed during middle of March. Rhopalosiphum padi and D. noxia were predominant throughout (52.86.1± 0.21 and 56.10± 0.24 aphids/ plant, respectively). The variety ANAJ-2017 showed the least incidence (26.28± 0.27 aphids/ plant) being more resistant. Aphid parasitism was also more in ANAJ-2017 with the parasites Aphidius ervi (15.35± 0.13) and Praon volucre (12.45± 0.12). Abundance of predators (ladybird beetle, green lace wing, syrphid fly and spiders) was observed with the highly infested varieties UJALA-2016 and FSD-2008. With incidence of aphids, temperature showed positive correlation while relative humidity (RH) and rainfall did not show any significant effect. The yield varied significantly among the tested varieties and it was found positively correlated with aphid incidence with ANAJ-2017 exhibiting the maximum 1000 grain weight (55 g).

A field experiment was carried out to study the population dynamics of pod borer Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner) on chickpea at the Agronomy Farm, College of Agriculture, Swami Keshwanad Rajasthan Agricultural University, Bikaner during two consecutive seasons i.e. rabi 2021-22 and 2022-23. The incidence commenced from first and second week of December i.e. 49th and 50th Standard Metrological Week (SMW) and disappeared in the first fortnight of January. Incidence again started from the third week of January (3rd SMW) which increased gradually and reached peak (6.4 and 5.2 larvae/ m row) in the third and second week of February (8th and 9th SMW) during first and second season. These peaks coincided with the vegetative, flowering, and podding stages. The correlation studies showed that incidence has a positive significant correlation with temperatures (p<0.01) while, morning (r = -0.609 and -0.640, p<0.05) and evening relative humidity (r = -0.728, p<0.01 & -0.666, p<0.05) showed negative significant correlation. Further, stepwise linear regression model indicated that maximum temperature as single predicator independent variable had the strongest relationship with incidence based on high R2 value (61% and 63.40%). This forewarning regression model may help the farmers to take advance decision so as to minimize the damage caused by pod borer on chickpea.

An evaluation of the effect of thiacloprid (21.7% SC), an N-cyanoamidine neonicotinoid exposure on honey bees Apis mellifera F. was done under field conditions. Study on foraging behaviour, mortality and food stores were carried out with 500, 325, 250, 125, 62.50, and 31.25 ppm, while 0 ppm concentration served as control. Of these, a significant effect was observed with 500 and 325 ppm as could be observed from the foraging behaviour. Thus, thiacloprid is found to be safe at lower concentrations <250 ppm.

Due to their enormous diversity, small body weight, flight and shorter lifecycles, insects thrive in almost all macro- and microhabitats. A plethora of microorganisms interact with insects as symbionts. Insect-microbial symbiont interaction can be either mutualistic, commensalism or pathogenic. The entry of a microbe mounts immune defenses in the insect at the local or systemic level in order to mitigate the damage inflicted. Microbes, on the other hand, synthesize various molecules/ toxins or develop various strategies to evade or counter insect defenses, allowing them to utilize the host resources for reproduction, coexistence or transmission. This review provides a comprehensive understanding of these insect-microbe interactions including bacteria, fungi and virus. Attempt has also been made to highlight the tripartite interactions between insects, microbes and plants in view of the need for sustainable pest management

The fall army worm Spodoptera frugiperda (J E Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) which invaded Africa in 2016 continue to pose food security threat due to its destructive effect on maize. This article assesses current research outputs, management strategies and future projections. Levels of infestation vary across districts, ranging from 12 to 88% with corresponding leaf damage score of 2 to 7 and larval density of 0.16 – 1.44/ plant on farmers’ maize field. Infestation and damage levels were higher in 2021 than in 2020 possibly due to gradual withdrawal of free insecticide by government. Several indigenous practices were employed by farmers during early invasion but synthetic insecticides usage assumed high acceptance. Some commercial microbials and botanicals showed significant efficacy. Results from indigenous entomopathogenic nematodes and fungi are satisfactory and are under field validation. A number of predators and parasitoids identified have shown varied level of suppression. Mass release of parasitoids, complemented with entomopathogens will put the infestation below economic threshold levels in most maize fields.
2016年入侵非洲的秋军虫（Spodoptera frugiperda (J E Smith)）（鳞翅目：夜蛾科）因其对玉米的破坏性影响而继续对粮食安全构成威胁。本文评估了当前的研究成果、管理策略和未来预测。各地区的虫害程度不尽相同，从12%到88%不等，相应的叶片受害程度为2到7级，农民玉米地的幼虫密度为0.16-1.44头/株。2021 年的虫害和损害水平高于 2020 年，这可能是由于政府逐步停止使用免费杀虫剂。在早期入侵期间，农民采用了几种本地方法，但合成杀虫剂的使用被广泛接受。一些商业微生物和植物药显示出显著的功效。本地昆虫病原线虫和真菌的效果令人满意，正在进行实地验证。已确定的一些捕食者和寄生虫显示出不同程度的抑制作用。大规模释放寄生虫，并辅以昆虫病原体，将使大多数玉米田的虫害低于经济阈值水平。

In the present study, an attempt was made to screen and isolate potent and ecofriendly mosquitocidal bacteria from different soils collected from Union Territory of Puducherry, India. From a total of 140 soil samples, 16 isolates showed mosquitocidal activity. Out of these 16 isolates, two bacteria isolated from red soil of Kalapet and Kanagachettikulam villages of Union Territory of Puducherry, India with code no. PYKAL-31A and PYKC-33C were found to be most potent. Extensive bioassay was carried out with these two bacterial strains against larvae of Anopheles stephensi, Aedes aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus. The LC50 and LC90 values of PYKAL-31A against Aedes aegypti, Culex quinquefasciatus and Anopheles stephensi were 0.007, 0.011, 0.015 and 0.015, 0.021 and 0.029, respectively and that of PYKC-33C were 0.009, 0.014, 0.013 and 0.015, 0.026, 0.023, respectively.

The Mishings and the Tiwas, along with various global communities, have traditionally consumed insects for their palatability since ancient times. This study reveals the remarkable nutritional and anti-inflammatory properties of these edible insects, making them viable dietary options. Eupreponotus inflatus was observed to have the highest protein content at 65.81%, Vespa affinis with the highest carbohydrate content at 19.18%, and Anaciaeschna donaldi exhibiting the highest fat content at 27.31%. Apis indica and Gryllotalpa africana demonstrated superior anti-inflammatory activity at 3.48 mg/ ml and 3.45 mg/ ml, respectively. Given that inflammation is implicated in numerous chronic diseases, the observed nutrient profiles and anti-inflammatory characteristics of these edible insects position them as suitable dietary supplements globally. The presented insect species could serve as beneficial additions or alternatives to existing diets. The study underscores the need for broader recognition of the nutritional and anti-inflammatory benefits offered by these edible insects. By aligning with contemporary nutritional needs and global food challenges, integrating these insects into diets could contribute significantly to public health.
