ABSTRACT
Studies on incidence of insect and non-insect pests and their natural enemies and pollinators in drumstick ecosystem were conducted during the year 2012-2013 at UHS, Bagalkot, Karnataka. To record the occurrence of insect pests, pollinators and natural enemies on drumstick, variety Bhagya (KDM-01) grown at UHS, Bagalkot over 10 acres was observed, at regular intervals of 15 days. The maximum incidence (35.1 % pod damage) of the pod fly was noticed during second fortnight of December and minimum (21.7% pod damage) was noticed in the early stage of pod formation during October second fortnight. The incidence of Bud borer, Noorda moringae Tams was observed throughout the year except during December, with an average per cent bud damage of 17.08, with a maximum of 54 per cent in second fortnight of February, and a minimum of 2.0 per cent in January. The incidence of leaf eating caterpillar, Noorda blitealis Walker was throughout the year with a minimum level in May and having two peaks one during second fortnight of October and another during April. The ash weevils were observed to damage drumstick in the month of July to December. Several natural enemies and pollinators were also encountered in drumstick ecosystem during the present study.
