Abstract: The experiment was carried out at JNKVV Jabalpur (MP) to study the taxonomic distribution of insect pest species collected in light trap with various light sources viz. MV 125w bulb, UV 8+8w tubes and LED (White)15w bulb.
The analysis revealed that 31 insect species belonging to 10 orders and 23 families were recorded throughout the season (Rabi 2016-17). These species were grouped in two major categories. Among the harmful crop pest group 22 species collected under 5 orders and 14 families (total collection was 15599 insects). Order Lepidoptera was represented by the highest number of 6 families including 13 species followed by the order Hemiptera. Group of beneficial insects as natural bio control agents represented by 6 orders and 9 families (total collection was 2114 insects). Comparing the relative size of trap catches the highest catch was observed of Dorylus sp. (1492 wasps) among all the order followed by Hydrochara caraboides Latreille (316 beetles).
