Organic Control Measures to Manage White Flies in Tomato

Tomato production is seriously threatened by the tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV), which is spread by whiteflies around the world. In Karnataka it is first time reported at Kolar district, where population has increased 1000 fold that directly causes endemic leaf curl viral disease. There is a direct correlation between the rise in Bemisia tabaci populations and the virus’s distribution in the field. Plants that are infected show severe symptoms, are less vigorous, and yield fruits that have a lower market value. In impacted fields, losses in yield of up to 100% are common.

  • Type of Infestation: Pest
  • Common Name: Whiteflies
  • Scientific Name: Bemisia tabaci
  • Infesting Stage of Pest: Nymph

Organic Control Measures to Manage Fruit Borer in Tomato Crop

Tomato fruit borer, also known as Helicoverpa armigera, is a major pest problem of tomato cultivation in India and other parts of the world. It originated from Africa and spread to other continents through trade and migration. It is a polyphagous insect that can feed on over 360 plant species, including many crops of economic importance. The larval stage of this pest causes direct damage to tomato plants by boring circular holes on the fruits and eating the internal content. This makes the fruits unmarketable and reduces the yield and quality of the crop.

  • Type of Infestation: Pest
  • Common Name: Fruit Borer
  • Scientific Name: Helicoverpa armigera
  • Infesting Stage of Pest: Larvae
  • Most Affected Plant Part: Fruits, buds and shoots

Environmental factors favourable for pest infestation:

  1. Temperature: Fruit bore incidence will start at 10-20C of temperature. It reaches maximum ETL at 20-30°C.
  2. Relative Humidity: 45-60 % of relative humidity is favorable for pest incidence.

Most affected states in India:

Maharashtra, Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh, Orissa and Andhra Pradesh.

Symptoms:

  1. Initial Symptoms: Young larvae feed on tender leaves voraciously which leads to defoliation, later they starve to fruits.
  2. Severe Symptoms: Circular holes are made by mature larvae. Matured larvae feed on fruits, by keeping head inside and remaining body outside. We can observe entries whole on fruits and larval fecal matter. They even feed on buds and shoots.

Pest Management in Sugarcane Crop using UAL Organic Based Products

Sugarcane grows for a long period of 10-12 months and is therefore susceptible to many insect attacks. Insect infestation can lower sugarcane yield by 20-25%, as per an estimate. More than 200 insects can damage sugarcane, such as Early Shoot Borer, Internode Borer, Top Shoot Borer, Termite, Whitefly, Scale Insect and Root Grub. Out of them, around 12 insects can affect both the amount and quality of the crop severely. Modern agriculture is also harmed by weather events caused by climate change, excessive use of pesticides, and the fast exhaustion of natural resources. Biocontrol action is a key tool for integrated pest management (IPM), as it offers more eco-friendly and health-friendly options than conventional methods.

Pest management in chilli crop using UAL organic based products

Chilli is a multifunctional crop that has many uses, such as food, medicine, and seasoning. However, its production is hampered by insect pests that reduce the yield. Thrips, mites, caterpillars, and whiteflies infest the chilli plants from the seedling stage to the harvest stage, causing severe damage. Farmers resort to chemical pesticides to control these pests, but this leads to harmful effects on the environment and other living beings. Therefore, there is a need for alternative solutions, such as biopesticides, that are safe, reliable, eco-friendly, and cost-effective. Biopesticides have proven to be effective in controlling pests and enhancing crop growth.
