To study the Host preference of lac insect on different host plants, the following parameters were recorded on twenty plants in five host plants viz., Cajanus cajan, Flemingia macrophylla, Flemingia semialata, Malvaviscus penduliflorus, Calliandra suriamensis replicated four times in which were sown in pots before the introduction of broodIac to new host during katki season of 2019-20 following the standard procedures detailed below
Summary
Highlights mmLac insect is a soft bodied insect belonging to Coccid group of order Homoptera. mmRangeeni and Kusumi are the two strains of this insect, each of which produces two crops in a year (bi-voltine). mmFlemingia macrophylla and Flemingia semialata are available as wild hosts. The mean initial density of first instar crawlers of lac insect observed 80-101, 93-120, 89-112, 80-110 and 87-108 crawlers per cm2 on Cajanus cajan, Flemingia mycrophylla, Flemingia semialata, Malvaviscus peduliflourus, Calliandra suriamensis, respectively.
