Introduction
 Entomological Research Sub Station Multan was
established in 1967 under Entomologist, Ayub
Agricultural Research Institute, Faisalabad.
 Insect pest management of major and minor crops
of economic importance.

Objective
 Survey, collection, rearing and identification of pest,
parasites and predators
 Focus on non-chemical methods of pest control
 Development of forecasting models for the management
of insect pest
 Publications of research findings
 Coordination with Entomological Research Institute on
various research projects

Title 1: Study Lepidopterous pests fauna of
berseem fodder in April-2016

Importance of Berseem
 Berseem (Trifolium alexandrinum L.) is also
called Egyptian clover
 Leguminous winter fodder crop for livestock
feeding
 Enriches the fertility of the soil and improves its
productivity

Importance of Berseem (Conti…)
 Major Rabi fodder crop in Pakistan. It is called
the ‘king of fodder’
 use as green manure, provides soil cover and
prevents erosion
 Supplying protein,calcium,phosphorus and other
minerals to soil and nutritional requirement to the
cattle 5/31/2016 Internship Presentation13

Berseem Crops

Objectives
 Identification of Lepidopterous pest fauna of
berseem fodder and their preferred place of
pupation

Introduction
 It was first introduced in Sindh in 1904
 It was cultivated in the Peshawar region in 1924,
from where it moved to irrigated tracts of Punjab
 Berseem has a shallow taproot. Its stems are
hollow, branching at the base, with alternate
leaves

 Flowers are yellowish-white.
 Insect pest of Berseem can be suppressed by the
presence of natural enemies
 An experiment has been done to demonstrate the
diversity of lepidopterous insect fauna on berseem
fodder.
Introduction (Conti…)

Material and Methods
 An experiment was conducted at Govt.
Agriculture farm located at old Shujabad road,
Multan.
 The fodder crops were critically observed and
collected full grown larvae of lepidopterous pest
and brought to hot and cool chamber at ERSS,
Multan.

Material and Methods (Conti…)
 With help of polythene bags the pest was kept
separately in glass jars by a layer of sand and
mud.
 The larvae were separated on the basis of shape
and size. Fresh and tender berseem provided daily
early in the morning 8.30 AM.

 Every morning cleaning the glass jars and
counted the number of larvae. Characteristics of
each group were recorded on note book.
 Two samples of each group were preserved in
formalin. The emerged moths will be pin and
identified. The data will be arranged and analyzed
statistically.

Title 2: Study on the alternate host plants
of Whitefly in April-2016

Objectives
 To know alternate host plant of whitefly for better
management on cotton crop

Introduction
 The Cotton whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) is thought to be
introduced to the United States, Australia and several
European countries by transferring on decorative plants
and flowers, from tropical regions
 Attacks on most vegetables, few ornamentals as well as
agronomic crops in all over the world particularly in
tropical and sub-tropical areas. 600 different species of
plants are hosts of whitefly

Materials and Methods
 Different areas have been selected for experiment
where diversity of plants occurs.
 Main experimental areas were Govt. Agriculture
Farm (Multan), Cotton Research Station (Multan)
and Floriculture and Landscaping Research Sub-
Station (Multan).

Materials and Methods (Conti…)
 125 different plants including ornamentals,
vegetables fodder, weeds and fruit plants were
observed
 Ornamental plants identified with the help of
gardener
 Both identified and non-identified plants were
observed 5/31/2016 Internship Presentation28

Materials and Methods (Conti…)
 A whole plant was checked from each kind plant.
Total number of whitefly host was counted and
wrote on note book.

Result
 We found that only 5 plants were infested with whitefly
and other 125 plants were free from whitefly infestation.
 Whitefly population was found in
 Sunflower
 Kali tori
 Cotton
 Fig
 Okra

Result (Conti…)
 In cotton, okra and sunflower average number of
whitefly was 1 to 2 per leaf. In kali tori and fig
average 1 number of whitefly was 1 per leaf.
 Okra was found as most suitable host for whitefly
in the month of April.

Participations
 Title 1: Study on effectiveness of various insecticides against
American bollworm (Helicoverpa armigera) in tomato
 Title 2: Study on Varietal Resistance of Rose flowers plant against
flower thrips
 Title 3: Studies on the efficacy of Methyl-eugenoltrap+ Malathion
against fruit flies in Mango orchard (Govt. Agriculture Farm, Multan)
without changing the lure
 Title 4: Observation of Pink bollworm in Pheromone trap installed in
cotton field and observation of larvae at flowering stage of cotton
 Title 5: Observation of thrips and pink bollworm damage on cotton
crop
