4. MODEL BUILDING OF EMERGENCE OF MIDGES FOR MALE AND FEMALE UNDER NATURALAND LABORATORY CONDITIONS by SANJAY KUMAR TRIPATHI
Abstract
Endaphis aphidimyza Shivpuje and Raodev (1985) is an endoparasitoid gall midge of black aphid Uroleucon gobonis of Safflower. The experiment was conducted on Safflower crop PVNS-12 in the field of Mahatma Gandhi Chitrakoot Gramodaya Vishwavidyalay Chitrakoot Satna (M.P.) The purpose was entomological analysis of Endaphis aphidimyiiza, Zoophagous cecidomyiids during the year 2007 to 2010 for three consecutive years. Three types of factors were under consideration namely biotic, abiotic and environmental, such as effect of biotic factors on the life cycle of Endaphis aphidimyiiza, effect of host density on the development of Cecidomyiids, effect of other natural enemies on the development of Cecidomyiids, effect of ecological factors on efficiency of Cecidomyiids, influence of the substrate on longevity and fecundity. The aim was to develop suitable model in all, six models were studied on male and female per year for three consecutive years. The best model was taken whose r2 value remained the highest.
KEY WORD: Cecidomyiids; Safflower; Aphid; Zoophagous; Gallmidge; Endaphis aphidimyza.
