RESEARCH CONTRIBUTIONS OF DR. M. RAGHURAMAN
Novel botanical formulations based on Callistemon and Eucalyptus developed in
collaboration with TERI, which is a cost effective formulation based on these plant
products. It is commercialized for controlling cotton and chickpea pests. At present
evaluating newer moleculs on different insect pests of vegetables and rice.
Developed artificial diet for the laboratory rearing of Helicoverpa armigera and
Spodoptera litura, which supported fourteen generations.
Under the project, ―Biointensive IPM in olive orchards of J & K‖, Technology for
management of olive insect pests were standardized with Trichogramma and NPV.
Evaluated the okra type genotypes of cotton against whitefly, Bemisia tabaci, which is a
national level pest and elucidated the sources of resistance in the promising genotypes,
for application in breeding programmes.
Being Principal Investigator Network Project on Insect Biosystemitics from 2011,
conducted field surveys leading to collection of insects and plant mites from different
states of the country including North Eastern regions leading to more than 10,000 insect
specimens comprising of different orders. Also documented different species of
springtails from the Leh and Ladhak region.
For the first time, a checklist of Indian Apterygotes was completed which covers 352
species of Collembola under 103 genera and 18 families; Protura (20 species under 10
genera and 3 families).
We have reported the presence of different species of diplurans for the first time from
the northern part of the country.
I have been working on the soil insects especially Collembola (Collembola: Insecta)
which are providing the ecosystem services in soil in terms of soil mineralization by
converting the nutrients from the non-available forms to available forms. For taxonomic
studies, identification and morphological characterization carried out on Collembolla
upto genus and species level of more than 60 species of which more than 10 species
were reported for the first time.
Different species of the springtails viz., Lepidocyrtus fimetarius, Lepidocyrtus
violaceus, Sinella curviseta, Ceratophysella granulate, and Salina sp. nov (2) were
studied in detail for the diagnostic characters under Scanning Electron Microscope for
which the pictorial diagnostic keys have been made available.
Maintaining a well established Insect Biosystematics laboratory and insect museum
which provides identification services on soil insects free of cost. Our laboratory has
been identified as a “Nodal centre for Apterygote insects” under the ICAR Network
Project on Insect Biosystematics.
During the last five year plan, we carried out field surveys which covered 4 states
comprising 290 localities under 63 districts from Uttar Pradesh (25 districts; 137
localities), Bihar (15 districts; 49 localities), Jharkhand (10 districts; 27 localities) and
West Bengal (13 district; 28 localities).
Sampling and identification of Apterygotes were also done from different parts of West
Bengal, Jharkand, Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, The Andamans,
Port Blair, Uttaranchal, Assam, Arunachal Pradesh and Leh-Ladakh region.
A Total collection of 7,094 insects and mites of different orders Acarina (1,042),
Collembola (2,432), Diplura (668), Protura (28), Thysanura (63), Ephemeroptera (21),
Odonata (131), Orthoptera (671), Dermaptera (20), Embioptera (36), Isoptera (47),
Hemiptera (88), Thysanoptera (46), Neuroptera (27), Lepidoptera (470), Trichoptera
(14), Diptera (204), Hymenoptera (426), Coleoptera (630), Psocoptera (30) was made.
Among the insects and mites collected, Collembola, Hemiptera and Acarina were most
abundant. Collections were undertaken throughout the year to cover climatic variation
and all stages of crop growth of major field crops, forest trees, fruits, ornamentals,
vegetables, and weeds etc.
For taxonomic studies, identification and morphological characterization carried out on
the target group Collembola. Diagnostic keys of Collembola were developed for 4
genera i.e., Lepidocyrtus (Paronellidae), Isotomurus (Isotomidae). Seven species of
Lepidocyrtus i.e., Lepidocyrtus lignorum, L. agraensis, L. violaceus, L. curvicollis, L.
paradoxus, L. immaculatus, L. fimetarius were studied in detail and detailed
morphological characterization and keys have been developed for readily identifying
them upto species level.
Morphological characterizations and diagnostic key were prepared for 12 Families
belongs to 34 genera under 40 species of Collembola.
The key characters were digitized with 250 photographs and 120 line diagrams.
Seira terrestris, Lepidocyrtus fimetarius, Lepidocyrtus violaceus, Sinella curviseta,
Ceratophysella granulate, and Salina sp. nov (2), Hypogastrura baltica, Ceratophysella
engadinensis, Ceratophysella granulate, Folsomides unifasciatus, Cryptophygus
tridentatus, Appendisotoma abiskoensis, Proisotoma ripicola, Isotomurus palustris
(Miiller), Isotoma unifasciatus, Isotoma antennalis, Isotoma fucicola, Isotoma
(Desoria) trispinata, Sinella curviseta, Entomobrya (Entomobrya) unostrigata, Seira
terrestris, Dicranocentroides nigroventris, Lepidocyrtus fimetarius, Lepidocyrtus
lignorum, Lepidocyrtus paradoxus, Lepidocyrtus violaceus, and Lepidocyrtus
immaculatus has been identified and first time reported from India. These species were
studied in detail for the diagnostic characters under Scanning Electron Microscope and
the SEM digital photographs were taken, which are under publication.
First reports of three families (Japygidae, Anajapygidae and Compodeidae) of Diplura
from Uttar Pradesh for which keys were developed for identification with diagnostic
characters and keys for the first time in India.
For preparing the bioinformatics tools, documentation of details regarding various
symptoms of pest damage (483 crops/trees/weeds), (101 pests) life stages of pests and
their natural enemies (96) were recorded periodically in various agro ecosystems.
Photographs (505) were taken on biology and their behaviour of the pests.
Life cycle of 35 pests, 23 natural enemies were studied with visual photographs for
research as well as teaching purpose for UG and PG students.
Microscopic slides of Collembola and Diplura were distributed to various agricultural
universities and ICAR institutes for teaching and research purpose.
Checklist of Indian Apterygotes was updated which covers 363 species of Collembola
under 106 genera and 18 families; Protura (20 species under 10 genera and 3 families).
For first time we investigated the influence of temperature and different agro-ecosystem on
the microarthropods population i.e. Mites and Collembola. The fluctuations in the
microarthropod abundances with temperature of the six sites were compared. Collembolan
and mites diversity and abundances were highest in undisturbed than disturbed ecosystems
at 50C temperature than 10
0C and 25
0C (Under publication).
As a nodal centre for apterygote insects, we have provided identification services free of
cost to many central and state universities viz., IARI, New Delhi, UAS, Bangalore, Banaras
Hindu University, UAS, Dharward, Bhagalpur University, TNAU, Coimbatore etc.
As a part of consultancy projects, I am testing the Bioefficacy of newer molecules as well as
their safety to the natural enemies, soil micro and macroarthropods in rice and vegetable
ecosystems.
