Produktbeschreibung

Two major insect-pests viz. Diamond Back Moth (DBM) [Plutella xylostella] and two species of aphid such as Indian Mustard Aphid [Lipaphis erysimi] and Green Peach Aphid [Myzus persicae] are found detrimental for the cultivation of cabbage [Brassica oleracea var. capitata]. Different bio-pesticides were reported to be effective in suppressing the population of DBM and aphids infesting cabbage. Thus an attempt has been made in the present investigation to find the efficacy of different bio-pesticides on leading insect-pests of cabbage. Due to minimum infestations of these pests after the application of different bio-pesticides such as cow urine, garlic + chilli extract, neem based insecticide like vanguard, Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki (B.t.k) etc. and incorporation of different inter crop components like garlic (Allium sativum), coriander (Coriandrum sativum), African marigold (Tagetes erecta), fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum), tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) and Frenchbean (Phaseoulus vulgaris) the highest yield as well as benefit cost ratio was received. We hope this book will help to all researchers and growers for growing the safest cabbage for human consumption.
