Abstract
Powdery mildew is a widely distributed and more destructive disease in
nature. One of the common strategy for treating this disease is the chemical
control. One cannot rely on chemical control permanently as it is not
environmentally friendly. Nature has solved this problem by providing
biocontrol agents. During routine survey of powdery mildew disease from Satara
District, M.S, India. Mycophagous behavior Psyllobora bisoctonotata on Dalbergia
sisso and Xanthium strumarium has been reported in natural
conditions. The bionomics of P.bisoctonotata with powdery mildew has
been discussed in this paper. Larval stages of P.bisoctonotata are
voracious feeders of anamorph of powdery mildew disease than that of adults.
Increase in natural population of said insect may help in reduction of
anamorphs of powdery mildew. This will undoubtedly prevent the spread of
disease.
