Abstract
The goal of the current study is to record the
effects of up to six agronomic practices (T1–T6), based on farmer-level
conditions as they exist, on the abundance of five significant mulberry sap
sucking insect pests in the mulberry gardens of all sericulture farmers
randomly selected in the Khammam District between 2019–20 and 2021–22 (3
years). The following are sap-sucking pests that were selected to track the
abundance in the mulberry gardens of the identified farmers: 1) thrips (Pseudodendrothrips
mori), 2) jassid (Empoasca flavescens), 3) scale insect (Saissetia
nigra), 4) pink mealy bug (Maconellicoccus hirsutus), and 5)
spiralling white fly (Aleurodicus dispersus). The highest concentration
of sucking insect pests (spiraling white fly, mealy bug, jassid, scale insect,
and thrips) was seen in T4, while the lowest concentration was found in T6. In
most treatments, T2, which was equipped with tillage, closer spacing, and
inorganic inputs, held the second position in terms of abundance. The quantity
of sucking pests was as follows: T4<T2<T1<T5<T3<T6, which
corresponded to the pests' incidence regardless of the season or length of
monitoring.
