Abstract

Aphids are the major insect pests reducing rapeseed production in Chitwan, Nepal. An experiment was conducted to monitor and evaluate the management practices of the aphid, Lipaphis erysimi (Kalt.), on rapeseed from November 2017 to February 2018. The experiment was laid out in a split-plot design with three replications. The three varieties (Pragati, Bikash, Unnati) of mustard are the main factors, and insecticidal treatments were subfactors of the experiment, which include Spinosad 45% SC at 0.44 ml/lit water, Imidacloprid 70WG at 0.14 gm/lit water, Beauveria bassiana 1.15% WP at 2g/lit water, and Untreated control. The interaction between insecticides and varieties was non-significant for all observatiowas non-significant for all observations population was observed on the Control, and the least was on Imidacloprid, while fluctuations of the aphid population were observed with Beauveria and Spinosad sprayed plots. The highest number of aphid populations was seen during the last week of December-mid January. The relative humidity was positively correlated with the number of aphids, while maximum and minimum temperatures were negatively correlated. Imidacloprid was found to be the most effective and economically viable option for aphid management, which could be a potential measure for the management of aphids in rapeseed.
