Abstract
Maize (Zea mays L.) is the second cereal crop in Bangladesh as well as in the world. Huge amount of maize plants become infested due to attack of insect pest. The maize aphid, Rhopalosiphum maidis is one of the most destructive pests of maize crop. Research experiments were conducted on maize in order to evaluate the bio-efficacy of some bio-pesticides for controlling maize aphid under field condition at the Entomology field laboratory, Department of Entomology, Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU), Mymensigh during two consecutive rabi season of 2017-18 to 2018-19. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. Maize var. BARI Hybrid Butta-09 variety was used as experimental crop. Five (05) bio-pesticides viz. Neem leaf extract @ 2.0 ml/L, Bishkathali leaf extract @ 2.0 ml/L, Lemon extract @ 2.0 ml/L, Garlic clove extract @ 2.0ml/L, Mahagany seed extract @ 2.0 ml/L and one chemical insecticides namely Imidacloprid 20SL @ 0.25ml/L were used as treatments. Bio-efficacy of bio-pesticides against maize aphid, R. maidis on maize revealed that the treatment of Imidacloprid 20SL was found more effective for controlling R. maidis whereas the descending order of treatments were neem leaf>garlic clove extract>lemon extract>bishkathali leaf extract>mahagany seed extract i. e. neem leaf extract @ 2.0 ml/L can act as an effective bio-pesticides control agent within five bio-pesticides against maize aphid while yield and yield attributes were also higher. On the other hand, based on the maize yield and efficacy of insecticides, the present study showed that a linear positive co-relation (significant correlation) between insect infestation control and yield increase percentage of maize i.e. yield of maize grain were increased due to increase of percentage insect infestation control in maize production.
