Quantification of Avoidable Yield Losses in Mustard Caused by The Aphid, Lipaphis erysimi (Kalt.)
Abstract
Present study was conducted during rabi, 2021-22 and 2022-23 at Regional Agricultural Research Station, Polasa, Jagtial to assess the yield losses due to mustard aphid, Lipaphis erisimi in mustard crop. The results during rabi, 2021-22 and 2022-23 showed that the avoidable yield loss due to mustard aphid was 70.43 and 66.02 per cent, respectively. The pooled results indicated that the highest seed yield was recorded under protected condition (13.71 q/ha) which was 3.15 times higher as compared to that under unprotected condition (4.34 q/ha). An avoidable yield loss of 68.30 per cent was recorded in seed yield under protected condition with an additional yield of 9.37 q/ha over unprotected condition.
