Abstract

In this study, field and laboratory experiments were carried out in order to develop a biological control strategy against mustard aphid by using extracts of five tobacco varieties (Beeri wala, Balkhi, Pattay wala, Desi Tobacco and Hazropattar). Two extraction methods were used: extraction through boiling of leaves (ETBL) and extraction through overnight water soaking of leaves (ETOWSL). Mustard variety (Early Mustard) was cultivated with eleven treatments of three replicates each. Laboratory experiments were conducted to confirm the mortality due to the extract of tobacco varieties and the efficient type of extraction. All treatments were found to be effective in field against mustard aphid. Extracts of Pattay wala, Balkhi and Desi tobacco obtained through ETBL remained effective up to a week, whereas the extracts of Hazropattar, Balkhi, Pattay wala and Desi tobacco obtained through ETOWSL were found to be effective up to two weeks after treatment. The highest reduction in aphid population was noted by Pattay wala tobacco and the lowest reduction was seen by Desi tobacco. Almost the same trend of effectiveness was recorded during 2nd spray. In laboratory conditions 100% mortality of aphids was observed within three days under all treatments. The results of this study could be useful in an integrated pest management program for the management of mustard aphid Lipaphis erysimi.

Zusammenfassung

In dieser Studie wurden Feld- und Laborversuche durchgeführt, um eine biologische Bekämpfungsstrategie gegen die Senfblattlaus unter Verwendung von Extrakten aus fünf Tabakarten (Beeri wala, Balkhi, Pattay wala, Desi Tobacco und Hazropattar) zu entwickeln. Zwei Extraktionsmethoden wurden angewendet: Extraktion durch Kochen der Blätter (ETBL: extraction through boiling of leaves) und Extraktion durch Einweichen der Blätter über Nacht (ETOWSL: extraction through overnight soaking of leaves). Die Senfsorte (Early Mustard) wurde mit elf Behandlungsarten à je drei Wiederholungen kultiviert. Laborversuche wurden durchgeführt, um die Mortalität durch die Tabakextrakte und die effiziente Extraktion zu bestätigen. Alle Behandlungen erwiesen sich im Feld als wirksam gegen die Senfblattlaus. Durch ETBL gewonnene Extrakte aus Pattay-Wala, Balkhi und Desi-Tabak blieben bis zu einer Woche wirksam, während die durch ETOWSL gewonnenen Extrakte aus Hazropattar, Balkhi, Pattay-Wala und Desi-Tabak bis zu zwei Wochen nach der Behandlung wirksam waren. Pattay-Wala-Tabak zeigte den höchsten Rückgang der Blattlauspopulation; der geringste Rückgang wurde bei Desi-Tabak festgestellt. Nahezu der gleiche Trend der Wirksamkeit wurde während des 2. Spritzens festgestellt. Unter Laborbedingungen wurde bei allen Behandlungen innerhalb von drei Tagen eine 100 %ige Mortalität der Blattläuse beobachtet. Die Ergebnisse dieser Studie könnten in einem integrierten Schädlingsbekämpfungsprogramm für das Management der Senfblattlaus Lipaphis erysimi nützlich sein.
