1 Ecology and distribution of papaya mealybug, Paracoccus marginatus Williams and Granara De Willink (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) in South Karnataka G. Basana Gowda *, A. K. Chakravarthy, K. S. Jagadish and Subhash B. Kandakoor Department of Entomology, University of Agricultural Sciences, GKVK, Bangalore , Karnataka, India ABSTRACT * basanagowda4099@gmail.com A study was conducted to determine host range, distribution patterns over time and space and spread of papaya mealybug, Paracoccus marginatus Williams and Granara de Willink in Bangalore. The population of mealybug was visually estimated and rated. Papaya mealybug was found to occur on 60 plant species belonging to 29 families in five districts of South Karnataka, among which the predominant families being Euphorbiaceae, Malvaceae followed by Solanaceae and Asteraceae, Fabaceae in sustaining the mealybug population. Eight species of ants belonging to three subfamilies viz., Formicinae, Myrmicinae, Dolichoderinae were found attending P. marginatus on different crops and weed hosts viz., Solenopsis geminata (Fabricius), Tapinoma melanocephalum (Fabricius), Monomorium indicum Forel, Technomyrmex albipes (Smith), Paratrechina longicornis (Latreille), Camponotus compressus (Fab.), Oecophylla smargdina (Fabricius) and Monomorium sp. were more conspicuously attending mealybugs than the other ant species. Solenopsis geminata was one of the key attendants of mealybug whenever the pest colonized on Parthenium. KEY WORDS: Euphorbiaceae, Malvaceae, Mexico, papaya mealybug, Solenopsis geminata INTRODUCTION Papaya mealybug, Paracoccus marginatus Williams and Granara de Willink a native to central America/Mexico (Miller et al., 1999) has spread to more than 50 countries ever since the first report of the pest in Carribean islands. Papaya mealybug (PMB) was first reported in 1992 by Williams and Granara de Willink. In India its incidence was first recognized in the campus orchard of Tamil Nadu Agricultural University (TNAU), Coimbatore on July 10, 2008 (Muniappan et al., 2008). Mealybug has spread to Karnataka, Maharashtra, Kerala and Tripura presumably due to the movement of fruits. Soon it attained the status of a major pest in 2009 (Shylesha et al., 2010) and is spreading at an alarming rate infesting major agricultural and horticultural crops, causing severe economic losses to agriculture and allied industry. Since published information on PMB is not available in Karnataka, a field study on the 266
2 pest was initiated in and around Bangalore during To start with observations on ecology and distribution of papaya mealybug on major host plants were recorded in South Karnataka as heavy incidence of the pest on select economically important plants was observed MATERIALS AND METHODS Determination of host range Surveys were conducted at 20 locations spread across five districts of South Karnataka viz., Chamarajanagara, Bengaluru, Mysore, Mandya and Chikkaballapura during 2011 and At each location, eight to ten randomly selected plants were observed and the level of pest incidence on each plant sample was assessed as per the 0-5 rating scale of National Bureau of Agriculturally Important Insects (NBAII), Bangalore and for each of the sampled plants and the mean rating scale was calculated (Table 1). The plant samples were collected in perforated polythene covers (30 15cm) and submitted to the botanist for identification. The mealybug specimens collected during the surveys were identified by mealybug taxonomist at National Bureau of Agriculturally Important Insects (NBAII), Bengaluru. Table 1: Rating scale adopted for assessment of mealybug incidence Grade Visual estimation of mealybug Population 0 No incidence 1 Very low 2 Low 3 Medium 4 High 5 Very high (NBAII, 2010) Association of ants with P. marginatus Ants attending P. marginatus were collected and preserved in 70% ethyl alcohol. The taxonomic identity of the different ant species was confirmed by ant taxonomist at All India Network Project on Insect Bio-systematics; Department of Agricultural Entomology, UAS, GKVK, Bengaluru. The role of different ant species in influencing the spread and colonization of the mealybug was studied and documented. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Host range A total of 60 plant species belonging to 29 families were recorded as host plants (Table 2), with varying levels of infestation. Nymphs and adults of the mealybug were observed on all parts of the host plant viz., leaves, petioles, branches and reproductive parts. Severely infested plants were covered with black sooty mould. A comparison of the incidence of mealybug revealed that the pest was colonising on seven plant species each, belonging to family Malvaceae and Solanaceae; six species each, belonging to Euphorbiaceae, Asteraceae and Fabaceae; two species each, belonging to Acanthaceae, Amaranthaceae, Araceae, Labiatae and 267
3 Lamiaceae, which were identified as major host plants (Table 2). Across locations in South Karnataka Datura stramonium (2.50), Datura metal (2.00), Cajanus cajan (2.00), Parthenium hysterophorus (1.96), Carica papaya (1.77), Mulberry (1.69), Ipomoea campanulata (1.61), Malvaviscus arboreus (1.40), Chromaelena odorata (1.35), Solanum kasianum (1.12), Cotton (1.10) and Hibiscus sp. (1.00) recorded the maximum population, but according to NBAII rating, scale of infestation was below 3, that corresponded to low to medium infestation as these twelve host species were found to sustain the pest population in the absence of crop hosts for most part of the year (Table 1). The present findings are in conformity with Walker et al. (2003). The workers recorded PMB on more than 55 host plants in more than 25 genera. Economically important host plants of the papaya mealybug include papaya, Hibiscus, avocado, citrus, cotton, tomato, eggplant, peppers, beans, peas, sweet potato, mango, cherry and pomegranate. Similar results were also obtained by Selvaraju and Sakthivel (2011) who recorded mealybug incidence on 84 plant species belonging to 35 families of which heavy population build-up and severe damage was recorded on 21 host plants including 10 economically important species. Similar observations were also reported by Tanwar et al. (2010) where in heavy incidence of papaya mealybug was noticed on a wide range of cultivated crops and weed hosts. Similar results were also obtained by Meyerdirk and Kauffman (2001) who recorded PMB having a wide host range of over 60 plants species including Annona squamosa, Carica papaya, Hibiscus rosa-sinensis, Ipomoea spp., Manihot esculenta and Solanum melongena. Miller et al. (1999) reported that the pest is polyphagous having wider host range and reported more than 60 host plants of about 25 genera including papaya, Hibiscus, avocado, citrus, cotton, tomato, eggplant, peppers, beans, peas, sweet potato, mango, cherry and pomegranate. Association of ants with P. marginatus Eight species of ants belonging to three subfamilies under Formicidae of Hymenoptera, viz., Formicinae, Myrmicinae, Dolichoderinae were found attending to the mealybug, P. marginatus on papaya, mulberry gardens and other crop / weed hosts, nearby. Of these, three species belonged to Formicinae, three to Myrmicinae and two belonged to Dolichoderinae (Table 3). Solenopsis geminata (Fabricius), Tapinoma melanocephalum (Fabricius), Monomorium indicum Forel, Technomyrmex albipes (Smith) Paratrechina longicornis (Latreille), Camponotus compressus (Fabricius), Oecophylla smargdina (Fabricius) and Monomorium sp. were more conspicuously attending to the mealybug than the other ant species. S. geminata was one of the key attendants of mealybug whenever the pest colonized on Parthenium. Tapinoma melanocephalum (Fabricius) association was not very intensive and was 268
4 found only occasionally on few select plants. Ants were found to spread the first and second instar nymphs, especially from infested weed hosts to crop plants. In one instance heavy colonisation of O. smargdina was observed in a papaya orchard at Kundalagurkhi, Chikkaballapura district, where as very high population of P. longicornis was observed at Sultana palya, Bengaluru on Tapioca infested with PMB. The mealybugs excrete honey dew which attracts ants and in turn helps in spreading the mealybug specially crawlers. The present results of the ants association with mealybug were in close conformity with the report of earlier workers who reported the association of S. geminata with Phenacoccus solenopsis Tinsley (Jagadish and Shadakshari, 2009) association of S. geminata with homopterans (Stahl and Scaramuzza, 1930; Ghose, 1971; Ananthakrishnan and Ananthasubramanian, 1975 and Larsen et al., In addition to S. geminata, Jagadish and Shadakshari (2009) also reported the association of M. brunnea, A. gracilipes, T. monocephalum and O. smaragdina with P. solenopsis. Moreover, Ghose (1971) and Buckley and Gullan (1991) reported that honey dew producing homopterans attend to mealybugs on other crop/ host species. During the present study different ant species were found to transfer the mealybugs from one plant to another. This finding is in agreement with Genter (1925) who found that the ant, Camponotus lineolatta (Say) transferring the grape mealybug, Pseudococcus maritimus Ehrh. Saini et al. responsible for quick colonization of P. solenopsis to new areas. Smith (1928) reported that ants collected during the surveys comprised Tapinoma sessile Say, Pheidole sp., and Technomyrmex sp. (Hymenoptera: Formicidae). T. sessile was the predominant ant species and is a common and widely distributed North American ant species. In the present study, maximum colonization of PMB was recorded on Datura stramonium and the most common ant species forager was Technomyrmex albipes. CONLCUSION From the preliminary study it can be summarized that PMB is an invasive insect spreading at an exceedingly rapid rate infesting r select plant species in Karnataka: Close monitoring and releases of parasitoid, Acerophagus papayae (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae) may therefore be undertaken on a area wide basis in South Karnataka ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Authors acknowledge Dr. M.
