Title: Effect of organic fertilizers on major insect infestation in two cabbage cultivars
Abstract: Organic fertilizers are alterations aiming to improve soil fertility have been found to increase pest populations on cabbage plants. This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of organic fertilizers and weather factors on insect infestation with cabbage cultivars during rabi season of 2007-2008. Two cabbage varieties viz., Atlas 70 and Super tropic and organic fertilizers like control, cowdung, mustard oilcake, Vermicompost and Trichoderma were included in this study. Results revealed that the minimum no. of infested plants plot-1, infested leaves plant-1 and percent infested leaves plant-1 were found in variety super tropic with Trichoderma applied plots on different dates of observation while the maximum no. of infested plants plot-1, infested leaves plant-1 and percent infested leaves plant-1 were in variety super tropic and mustard oil cake applied plots. The highest number and percent (4.00 plot-1) and (20.00% plot-1) of infested heads were found in variety Super tropic and mustard oil cake applied plots. Highest number of healthy heads plot-1 (19.67), healthy head yield (71.47 ton/ha) and total head yield (72.14 ton/ha) were recorded in variety Super tropic and Trichoderma applied plots while the lowest number of healthy heads plot-1, healthy head yield and total head yield were recorded in in variety Super tropic and mustard oil cake applied plots. So application of Trichoderma with Super tropic cultivar ensures low insect infestation and better head yield.
