Guest Lecture
Dr. M.M. Krishna, Rtd. Professor, Certified Food Scientist (CFS)
delivered a guest lecture on the topic ‘Appropriate and low cost
postharvest technologies for small farmers’ on 24.06.2019 at CoH,

Research
In an experiment for 2018-19 conducted at farmers field at B.
Kamapalli village of Rly. Kodur, Kadapa district on management
of thrips in mango cv. Neelum by D. Srinivas Reddy, Sr. Scientist
(Entomology) CRS, Tirupati, the research findings noted that the
lowest percent thrips damage on fruits was observed in 1%
neem oil spray (10.62%) followed by spinosad 45 SC (10.96%)
and acephate 75SP which showed a damage of 13.00% then fol-
lowed by fipronil 5SC (14.67%) whereas higher damage was noted in thiamethoxam (44.09%),
pongamia soap (41.11%) and in control(50.5%). It was also observed that the timing of treatment
is a major factor in avoiding thrips damage especially on mango fruits rather than the type of
insecticides (conventional and new) used. As this work being carried out for the first year, a one
more year findings is required to come to a conclusion for recommendation to mango growers for
control of this serious outbreak of pest in recent years, due to changing climate scenario in Andhra
Pradesh.

In an experiment conducted at HRS, Ananthrajupeta by D. Srinivas Reddy, Sr. Scien-
tist (Ento.), CRS, Tirupati, on “Management of thrips infesting capsicum under
protected conditions” it was noted that spraying of acephate 75SP @ 1.5g/l followed
by application of spinosad 45SC @ 0.3ml/l proved to be effective with minimum
thrips damage rating of 1.00, 0.80 and 0.40 at 21, 35 and 50 days after transplanting
in cultivar, Ayesha. It was also observed that spraying of neem oil @1% showed
phytotoxicity (leaves dropping, blackening of buds and leaf scorching) in the month
of May.

concluded at HRS, Ambajipeta. The following recommendations were given for farmers adaption.
1. Application of Botanical cake @ 2-3 per palm @ 15g./palm in the 2-
3 inner most leaf axils starting from June at quarterly interval for
the management of coconut rhinoceros beetle.
2. Adaption of following IPM package for the management of eriophyid mite
Recommended dose of NPK fertilizers
Vermicompost @ 20 kg/palm
20 kg FYM/palm
Neem cake @ 5 kg/palm
Keraprobio @ 100 gm/palm
