Abstract
An experiment was conducted on two wheat varieties, Inqilab-91 and Saleem 2000, at Malakandher Research Farm, NWFP Agricultural University Peshawar during 2004-05 to compare the effectiveness of a biopesticide (BtA @ 1g lit -1 ) with different synthetic pesticides (chlorpyriphos @ 5ml, trend @ 4ml and megamos @ 1.25ml lit -1 ) against wheat aphids. Three aphid species namely Rhopalosiphum padi , Schizaphis graminum and Sitobion fragariae were collected from the host and identified in the Entomology Department of NWFP Agricultural University Peshawar. Aphid density on Saleem-2000 was significantly lower in chlorpyriphos treatment with 0.67, 0.76, 2.16 and 8.55 aphids leaf -1 while significantly higher in the trend treatment with 1.87, 2.17, 3.60 and 11.55 aphids leaf -1 after 1, 2, 3, and 7 days of chemical treatment, respectively. Mean aphids density leaf -1 over the entire two weeks period was significantly lower in chlorpyriphos and higher in trend treatments. Mean aphid density in control during this period increased from 21.3 to 31.2 leaf -1 (9.2 to 38.2%). Aphid density on Inqilab-91 was significantly lower in chlorpyriphos treatment with 1.31, 2.66, 1.75 and 3.89 aphids leaf -1 while higher in trend with 3.33, 2.10, 3.90 and 6.36 aphids leaf -1 after 1, 2, 3, and 7 days of chemical treatment. Mean aphid density leaf -1 over entire two weeks was significantly lower in chlorpyriphos and higher in trend treatment. Mean aphid density in control during this period increased from 26.2 to 36.4 leaf -1 (33.8 to 52.3%). Mean yield (kg ac -1 ) of Saleem-2000 was significantly higher in chlorpyriphos (734), megamos (716) and BtA (713) while lower in trend (676) as well as control (675). On the other hand, mean yield (kg ac -1 ) of Inqilab-91 was significantly higher in chlorpyriphos (644), megamos (622) and BtA (616) while lower in trend (615) and control (585 kg).
