Abstract:

Field experiments were conducted during Rabi season of 2012-13 and 2013-14. The study revealed that the major natural enemies recorded were coccinellids, Coccinella septempunctata (Fab.), Cheilomenes sexmaculatus (Fab.) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae); common green lacewing, Chrysoperla sp. (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae); aphid parasitoid, Diaeretiella sp. (Hymenoptera: Braconnidae); diamond back moth and tobacco caterpillar on parasitoid of Cotesia sp. (Hymenoptera: Braconidae). However, their population were found fluctuate during the crop season. Among foliage feeding pests the tobacco caterpillar incidence was higher followed by diamond back moth. While, natural enemies the maximum mean population was found for Coccinella septempunctata during both the years.


Keywords: Insect pests, Natural enemies, Cabbage and Percent parasitism.
