Possibilities to combine augmentative biological control using Trichogramma spp. egg parasitoids and conservation through habitat manipulation, for the management of rice leaffolder stemborer pests have received only cursory mention in literature. We reviewed information on use releases manipulation manage leaffolders stemborers rice. Stemborers become a priority since 1990s with research focus...

Groundwater and soil potassium deficiencies are present in northern India. Sugarcane is a vital crop the Indian Punjab; it grown on approximately 91,000 hectares with an average yield of 80 tonnes ha?1 sugar recovery rate 9.59%. The role (K) fertilizer under both sufficient deficient irrigation ratoon sugarcane crops not well documented. We conducted split-plot cane experiment during 2020–2021 ...

The striped stem borer, Chilo suppressalis (Walker) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), is the most abundant stem borer of rice Oryza sativa L. (Poaceae) in temperate Asia. Chilo suppressalis also occurs throughout the tropical rice-growing areas of Asia, where it is generally second in abundance to the yellow stem borer, Scirpophaga incertulas (Walker) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) (Pathak & Khan, 1994). Ste...

The current study was carried out at the experimental farm of Rana Sugars Ltd., Buttar Seviyan, Amritsar, Punjab, India, to identify methods improve yield and quality ratoon sugarcane in potassium-deficient soils. treatments comprised two levels irrigation, resulting plants which either received sufficient water (I1) or were water-stressed (I2), four rates potassium (K) application: 0 (K1), 40 ...
