\nWeeds are unwanted plants which complete with main crop for nutrition & reduce the growth of crop.<\/p>\n\n
\n
\nHarmful creatures for our crop plants are small insects which attack the plants in three ways :<\/p>\n
\nBased on the mode of attack, the insect pests are of following three types :<\/p>\n
\nThey cut and chew root, stem and leaves of the plants with the help of their chewing type of mouth parts. e.g., grass hoppers, locusts, caterpillars, grubs etc.<\/p>\n
\nThey suck the cell sap from different parts of the plants with the help of piercing and sucking mouth parts. eg. Aphids, leaf hoppers, plant bugs, etc.<\/p>\n
\nThey bore and enter different plant parts, and feed on the plant tissues eg. Sugarcane borer, pod borers, cotton ball weevil, grain weevils, etc.<\/p>\n\n
\nA wide variety of plant pathogens such as bacteria, viruses and fungi, exist in our environment.<\/p>\n\n
\nThe diseases which spread through seeds are called seed borne diseases, e.g., loose smut of wheat, leaf spot of rice.<\/p>\n
\nThe soil borne diseases mostly affect roots and stems of crop plants, e.g., smut of bajra, tikka disease of groundnut.<\/p>\n
\nThe air diseases attack all aerial parts of the plants like leaves, flowers and fruits. e.g., rust of wheat, blast of rice.<\/p>\n
\nThe diseases which are transmitted through water are termed as water borne diseases. e.g., bacterial blight of rice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
