1 World Applied Sciences Journal 17 (10): , 01 ISSN IDOSI Publications, 01 A Mathematical Model for Pesticide Recommendations in Contemplation of Alternative and Variable Threshold Combinations of Insect Pests in the Paddy Field 1 Kaushik Chakraborty and Debes Chandra Deb 1 Department of Zoology, Alipurduar College, Alipurduar, Jalpaiguri, 7361 West Bengal, India Department of Zoology, University of North Bengal, Raja Rammohanpur, Darjeeling, West Bengal, India Abstract: Pesticides though have ecological adverse effects are still the prime way for pest control. Selection of the pesticide formulation is based upon mostly on a single pest economic threshold level (ETL). But field insect pests represent a more complex and heterogeneous association as it characterizes an admixture of different species of variable life-stages. As, pesticide of a single brand is not equally effective to all insect pests, a broadly defined insecticide application strategy based on a single pesticide application cannot not be taken in toto for paddy insect pest control. Side by side re-validation of the presently running ETL system in consideration of threshold limit is required. Brown plant hopper (BPH), yellow stem borer (YSB), gall midge (GM) and paddy bug (PB) are four major paddy insect pests in the northern parts of West Bengal, India. A mathematical model of pest occurrence was proposed after conducting the field experiment for five consecutive years ( ) at three blocks of the district Uttar Dinajpur, West Bengal. In the present model four incidence grades of YSB, BPH and GM and three grades of PB was considered. Gradation was done either depending on the incidence of the individual species or the damage symptoms. During gradation, the nationally advocated economic threshold level (ETL) of each of the pest species was considered as the maximum indices for all the pests. Multiple mutual combination between the grades of all the four pests showed that the pests could occur in 19 combinations. But at a given growth stage of paddy only one pest combination occurs. Depending on the key insect pest in a combination, 19 combinations were again grouped in 1 cultivation modules (CMs) for practical applicability. Each CM was named in consideration of key insect pest species of that group and accordingly application strategy of pesticides for particular CM was recommended. Key words: Threshold levels Cultivation module Pesticide formulations Action pathway INTRODUCTION suppression using effective, least toxic methods which is practical to apply and cost effective to operate [6-8]. A pest management system, its consistency and As pest management is a complicated process, it is not honesty in decision-making and hence the output simply a matter of substituting good pesticides for bad accruing from management actions and approach, depend pesticides. It is rather an improved way to select and to a large extent on threshold values for action decisions apply the pesticide in judicious mode in consideration of [1, ]. The use of chemical pesticides in Indian agriculture the incidence of insect pest population [9, 10]. has seen a sharp increase in recent years and in some Out of the 1 important paddy insect pests, 7 are areas has reached alarming levels [3, 4]. Inspite of that, economically more injurious in the northern parts of West pesticides as prime pest control input are still used by a Bengal, India [11]. These are yellow stem borer (YSB), number of farmers [5]. Modern IPM s focus on pest brown plant hopper (BPH), gall midge (GM) and paddy Corresponding Auhtor: Kaushik Chakraborty, Department of Zoology, Alipurduar College, Alipurduar, Jalpaiguri, 7361 West Bengal, India. 1370
2 bug (PB). Considerable differences of bio-ecology, Underlying Principle of Categorization: Let us consider numerical abundance, extent of infestation and nature of a set of n groups X 1, X, X 3,.., X n. Any ordered damage by these four pests were noted [1]. Accordingly arrangement (X i1, X i, X i3,, X ir), 1 i n of r the pesticide application strategy should be befitted [13]. symbols is called an ordered sample of size r. If groups are Incidence of YSB was noted throughout the paddy selected one by one and repetitions are permitted then growth stages [14]. Abundance of BPH increases as the r clearly there are n samples of size r. Gradation were done growth stage of paddy advances and attains the maximum depending on the field incidence of the four insect at early grain maturation stage [13]. Activity of gall midge species. Again, if X 1, X, X 3,., X ngroups having n 1, n, was mostly restricted to the tillering stage [15]. PB is n 3,.., nr represents the incidence of insect pests mainly injurious to the developing grains [16]. Selection respectively, then there are ordered sequences or samples of a single pesticide brand is not equally effective to all (permutation with repetition ) are n 1 x n x n 3 x.. x nr. these four pests in relation to the particular paddy growth In our case, We have considered four grades (1,,3,4) for stage [17]. Systemic pesticide is effective for YSB, BPH YSB, BPH, GM and three grades (1,,3) for PB and GM while both contact and systemic pesticide is respectively, then the total number of different ordered favoured for PB. However Further in a field peak arrangements of the groups is 4(YSB) x 4(BPH) x 4(GM) x abundance of all the four insect pests differs 3(PB) = 19. considerably. So a more reliable method of pesticide application which is based on based on multiple pest Categorization of Insect Damage Depending on National threshold level instead of single pest assessment is Protocol: Economic threshold level (ETL) as described in urgently required [18]. the national protocol for these four pests was taken as the Presently, the terms economic threshold (ETL), uppermost limit during gradation (..). A limit of 0 damage threshold level (DTL), injury threshold level (ITL) individuals/hill, 1 egg mass/m, 1 silver shoot/m and 1 and action threshold (ATL) were used to explain the individual/hill were recognized as the national ETL limit of insect pest status of the field. DTL are more realistic [19] BPH, YSB, GM and PB respectively. Depending on these and can easily be used in examination of varying level of values, the pests or the damage symptoms are divided pest infestation [0]. Sogawa et al. [1] have commented into four (for YSB, BPH and GM) or three (for PB) tolerant that most economic thresholds for insects are numerical grades. Collective contemplation of the four grades for and not based on damage functions. So selection of YSB, BPH and GM and three grades for each of PB pesticides in consideration of single pest threshold level reflected that in relation to the four growth stages of is less applicable to check the crop damage since the paddy the pests could occur in a total of 19 matrix pests occur at multiple threshold combination [8]. combination matrices (Table 1).

Combinations which were supposed to require Experiment on the relative superiority of the pesticide the same pattern of prophylactic or corrective measures formulation on a particular pest species was carried out by were taken in one group, regarded as Cultivation Module various authors [-4]. But hardly any author advocates (CM). the application of pesticide in consideration of variable grades of pest occurrence. Under this situation the RESULTS AND DISCUSSION presently available ETL limit should be graded in to sub-etl levels and accordingly should be redefined. Redefining the Pest Action Threshold Level: ETL value This paper quantifies the nature of pesticide application described in the national protocol is more or less fixed. in relation to action threshold of four major insect pest It explains the incidence either of insect individuals or the populations. damage symptoms numerically. Decisions to apply pesticide are taken only when the pest indices crosses the MATERIALS AND METHODS limit. But such pest management strategy disregards the heterogeneity of the pest complexes. Most of the Selection of Pests: Only four major insect pests were pesticide based paddy insect pest control module is considered in the present mathematical model.

A total of 1 CMs were formed of which 6 number of a pest approaches the ETL limit, control of were found to be economically and ecologically more population by pesticides is more crucial. So gradation of important (indicated by * in the Table ) in the northern abundance of insect individuals or the damage symptoms parts of West Bengal.
