Abstract

Peach is one of the temperate stone fruits and this study explores the major insect pests and their impact on productivity. The study was done in the fruit orchard of Dhanachuli village of Nainital district, Uttarakhand. The results revealed that bugs, aphid and beetles were the most prevalent pests. Maximum diversity of insect pests was observed during the rainy season followed by spring and autumn seasons, and dropped to minimum in the winter season. The infestation rate depicting the maximum emergence of insect pests and the productivity status of peach fruits had been evaluated.
