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.
