Diversity of insect pest, natural enemies and other beneficials arthropods community in selected Brinjal varieties/lines
Abstract :Five
brinjal varieties viz., BL099, BARI brinjal-6,BL117,BL072 BARI brinjal-1 were
grown in replicated trial laidout in randomized block design at experimental
farm and Entomology laboratory of BSMRAU for the measurement of diversity and
equitability of arthropod community during 2005. The finding indicated that lower
abundance of insect family in resistance variety/lines while a higher number of
families are available in susceptible variety/line. All the resistant varieties
showed higher equitability compare to that of susceptible one. A positive
relationship was evident between the number of fswmilies and diversity index at
all the crop growth stages (r=0.77 ). A negative relationship was observed
between the number of families and equitability at all crop stages. (r= 0.31).
