    Association of dipteran maggots in rhizome rot of ginger
    (2007-02-08) Prem Kumar, T.; Sarma, Y.R.; Gautam, S.S.S.
    A constant association of two dipteran maggots, Eumerus sp. and Mimegralla sp. was noticed with Pythium infected rhizomes and occasionally with the bacterial wilt (Pseudomonas solanacearum) affected rhizomes also. Positive Pythium isolations were obtained in 1.02% of maggots of Mimegralla sp. collected from the field. From infected rhizomes, 42% showed Pythium alone and 58% showed Pythium and maggots and never maggots alone. Both the species were capable of subterranean movement. A crude ginger extract had an attractant effect on the maggots.
