ABSTRACT:
The present
study was
carried out
to test the
infectivity of three
native EPNs
namely,
Heterorhabditis indica
(strain
ICAR-NBAIR), Heterorhabditis
bacteriophora, Steinernema
carpocapsae powder formulation
against cardamom root grub. The attachment to and rate of
penetration of
these EPNs
into tested
insect was
also
undertaken. Penetration
of the IJs
of
Heterorhabditis indica Showed
highest
penetration and
was superior
to
Heterorhabditis bacteriophora. and
Steinernema
carpocapsae never the
less the
rate of
penetration is also depending on the
IJs infection strategies. EPN application involves implanting
novel powder
formulation at plant base that can be done with ease and fast
and saves a lot of labour The WP formulation was
found very
effective in
root grub management
that reduced
the cost
of production
and mitigated
the use
of pesticides
(fipronil, chlorpyriphos, phorate)
in small
cardamom. Therefore, it is concluded that cardamom root
grub was susceptible to tested EPNs, there were differences among these EPNs in their ability to kill
the insect. Among test EPNs,
Heterorhabditis indica (strain ICAR-NBAIR) and
Heterorhabditis bacteriophora (strain ICAR-
NBAIR) appears to be the most promising EPN against root
grub. EPN is ecologically safe,
effective,
sustainable and on-farm recyclable
green
technologies for
small cardamom. EPNs
constitute a cost-effective, value-added approach to
promote sustainable agriculture in small
cardamom plantation.
