Biological Control of Aphid by using Beetle (Coccinella septempunctata)

  • 1. Department of Zoology, Isabella Thoburn college, Lucknow, India.

Description

Development and reproductive potential of the Coccinella septempunctata L. CSL was conducted under normal conditions to determine its fecundity and longevity on natural diet. Tests were made on normal temperature rearing materials and all development stages were carefully recorded. Diet quality is related to egg production, so CSL fertility is affected by diet type. CSL consumed highly significant (Rhopalosiphum maidis)  approximately 28 aphids per day as compared to other treatments. The insect has the largest Oviposition, feeding on the 1st and 2nd instar of Macrosiphum rosae. Biological control (BC) of seven-spotted ladybirds emphasizes evaluating specific livestock for maximum efficiency, understanding agriculture in a new environment, and evaluating social interactions.
