Abstract
Studies were conducted to find out settling response and bionomics of canola aphid, Brevicoryne brassicae on five different canola varieties viz. Atlex-161, Bulbul, Rainbow-161, Shiralee and Takwara-161 and five lines viz. DN-1, DN-3, DN-4, DN-5 and DN-6 at constant laboratory conditions and to find out the potential of predator, Chrysoperla carnea against B. brassicae infesting canola crop under field conditions. The results indicated that DN-5 and DN-6 were least attracted whereas; DN-1 and Altex-161 were found as the most attracted varieties and lines for B. brassicae. The shortest developmental duration of nymphal instars was found on DN-1 and Altex-161. The pre reproductive period was significantly longest (1.50 days) on DN-3 and shortest (0.66 days) on Bulbul. The reproductive period was maximum (18.51 and 18.34 days) on DN-1 and Bulbul with no-significant difference. The minimum reproductive period of 8.76 days was recorded on DN-5. Total progeny produced by the aphids during the life time was highest (34) when fed on DN-1, followed by Altex-161 with 30.71 nymphs. Aphids reared on DN-6 were unable to reproduce. Maximum infestation of aphids was recorded in control plot (36.87) whereas, minimum infestation was found in T4 (17.22) where maximum number of C. carnea egg cards were installed. Similarly, maximum number of C. carnea was also recovered from T4. The use of resistant varieties and predator, C. carnea is recommended for the timely and safer management of canola aphid.
