TAILIEUCHUNG - Development and evaluation of integrated pest management strategy against sucking pest complex of Cocoa, Theobroma cacao L.

A field experiment was conducted in a farmer’s holding at Sethumadai, Pollachi, Tamil Nadu to develop integrated pest management strategy against sucking pest complex of cocoa including tea mosquito bugs, mealybugs and aphids during 2014-2015 using randomised block design with three treatments (IPM module, farmer’s practice and control) and replicated seven times in an area of 10,000 m2 . | Development and evaluation of integrated pest management strategy against sucking pest complex of Cocoa Theobroma cacao L. 2017 6 2 859-867 International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences ISSN 2319-7706 Volume 6 Number 2 2017 pp. 859-867 Journal homepage http Original Research Article http Development and Evaluation of Integrated Pest Management Strategy against Sucking Pest Complex of Cocoa Theobroma cacao L.

The experimental results revealed that the IPM strategy was significantly superior to farmer s practice and untreated IPM sucking pests control in reducing the population of aphids Toxoptera aurantii mealybugs Paracoccus cocoa marginatus and Planococcus citri and tea mosquito bugs Helopeltis bradyi and H. natural enemies antonii with the mean per cent reduction of and over control respectively. yield.
