मकै बालीमा लाग्ने अमेरिकन फौजीकीरा र यसको व्यवस्थापन

 Upakar Bhandari     1:17 AM     Agriculture, Health, More, Nepal     No comments   

परिचय
अमेरिकन फौजीकीरा  (American Fall Armyworm-FAW, Spodoptera frugiperda) मकै बालीमा लाग्ने पुतली वर्गको रात्रीचर कीरा हो । यो कीरा काउली बन्दामा लाग्ने सुर्तिको लार्भा  (Tobacco Caterpiller) सँग धेरै हदसम्म मिल्दोजुल्दो हुन्छ । अमेरिकी महादेशको उष्ण तथा उपोष्ण क्षेत्रहरुको रैथाने मानिने यस कीराको लार्भाले मकै लगायत ३५३ विभिन्न प्रजातिका बिरुवाहरुमा नोक्सानी पुर्याउन सक्ने तथ्य जानकारीमा आएको छ । मुख्यतया, मकै बाली मन पराउने यस कीराले मकै नपाएमा जुनेलो, धान, गहुँ, कोदो, उखु, घाँसे बालीहरु, काउली वर्गका तरकारी बालीहरु, तेल बालीहरु, काँक्रो लगायतका लहरे तरकारी, बदाम, भटमास, प्याज, कपास, गोलभेंडा, आलु बालीहरुमा समेत क्षति पुरयाउन सक्दछ ।

यो कीरा आक्रामक तवरले छिट्टै ठूलो क्षेत्रमा फैलन सक्ने मिचाहा प्रवृत्तिको हुन्छ । उपयुक्त आहारा तथा आवहवाको खोजीमा यो कीराको वयस्क पुतली अण्डा पार्नु अगाडि ५०० किलो मिटर टाढासम्म पनि उडेर जान सक्दछ । सन् २०१५ सम्म अमेरिकामा सीमित रहेको यो कीरा सन् २०१६ मा पहिलो पटक अफ्रिकी देश नाइजेरीयामा पहिचान भई हालसम्म त्यस महादेशका अन्य थप ३० देशहरु, र सन् २०१८ को मई महिनामा एशिया महादेशमा भारतको कर्नाटका राज्यमा पहिचान भई हालसम्म अन्य देशहरु जस्तै बंगलादेश, श्रीलंका, म्यानमार, भियतनाम, थाईल्याण्ड, इण्डोनेशीया, जापान, कोरीया, लाओस, मलेसीया, चीन, ताइवान तथा यमनमा फेला परिसकेको छ । नेपालमा यस कीराको प्रवेश गरेको आधिकारिक पुष्टि मिति २०७६ श्रावण २७ गते बसेको राष्ट्रिय बिरुवा संरक्षण संगठनको १९ औं बैठकले देशका विभिन्न स्थानहरुबाट संकलित नमुनाहरुको डीएनए परीक्षणबाट प्राप्त नतिजाहरुको आधारमा गरेको थियो ।

फौजी किराले नोक्सान पारेको मकै 

क्षतिको लक्षण
लार्भा अवस्थाले मकैको पात, गुभो, धानचमरा, जुँगा, घोगा तथा डाँठमा समेत क्षति पुरयाउँछ । झुण्डमा पारिएका फुलहरुबाट निस्कने बित्तिकै सानो लार्भाले शुरुमा वरिपरिको पातको बाहिरी सतहमा मात्र कोत्रेर खान्छ, जसले गर्दा पातमा सिसाको झ्याल जस्तो आकृतिहरु देखिन्छन् । त्यसपछि यी लार्भाहरु आँफैले बनाएको रेसाहरु र हावाको मद्दतले अन्य बोटहरुमा फैलिन्छन् । कलिलो अवस्थाको मकैको गुवोभित्र प्वाल पारी पस्दै खान थाल्दछन् र बिरुवा बढ्दै जाँदा पातमा लहरै स–साना प्वालहरु परेको देख्न सकिन्छ । लार्भाहरु बढ्दै जाँदा परभक्षि स्वभावका समेत हुन्छन् । कीराको आक्रमण भएको ठाउँमा काठको धुलो जस्तो विष्टा पनि प्रशस्त मात्रामा देखिन्छ । यस कीराबाट अत्यधिक आक्रमण भएको अवस्थामा मकैमा असिनाबाट भएको क्षति जस्तै पातहरु छियाछिया भएको देखिन्छ । बिरुवा हुर्कदै जाँदा मकैको धान चमरा, जुँगा र घोगामा समेत पसेर यसले नोक्सान गर्न सक्दछ ।

अन्य पुतली वर्गका कीराहरुजस्तै यस कीराको पनि जीवनचक्रमा ४ अवस्थाहरु (अण्डा, लार्भा, प्युपा र वयस्क) हुन्छन्, जुन पुरा गर्न २८ देखि ४८ दिनसम्म लाग्ने गर्दछ भने नेपालमा खुमलटारको प्रयोगशालामा गरिएको अध्ययन अनुसार २७ डिग्री सेल्सियसमा २७ देखि ३२ दिनसम्म लागेको पाइएको छ । अत्यधिक वर्षाको अवस्थामा यसको जीवन चक्रमा प्रतिकूल प्रभाव पर्दछ । नयाँ ठाउँमा पहिलो पुस्ता अन्यत्रबाट आएर आक्रमण गर्ने र त्यस पछि उष्ण हावापानी भएका क्षेत्रमा वर्षमा ४ देखि ६ पुस्तासम्म र चिसो मौसम हुने क्षेत्रमा २ पुस्तासम्म हुनसक्ने अनुमान छ ।


 
व्यवस्थापन
      यो खतरनाक कीरा भएकोले सबै सरोकारवालाहरु र कृषकहरु यस कीराको ब्यवस्थापनको निम्ति चनाखो हुनुपर्छ । यो कीराको ब्यवस्थापनको निम्ति एउटै मात्र उपाय प्रभावकारी हुन सक्दैन । त्यसैले यो कीराको ब्यवस्थापनका लागि निम्न बमोजिमका एकिकृत शत्रुजीव ब्यवस्थापनका उपायहरु अवलम्बन गर्नु पर्छ ।
Ø खेतबारीमा मकै उम्रेदेखि नियमित रुपमा अनुगमन गरी कीराको उपस्थिति र सम्भावित क्षतिको आँकलन गर्नुपर्दछ ।
Ø मकैको घोगामा समेत नोक्सान गर्नसक्ने भएकाले खोस्टाले पूरा घोगा छोपिने जातको मकै लगाउने ।
Ø एउटा पकेट क्षेत्रमा सकेसम्म एकै समयमा र अगाडि मकै रोप्ने ।
Ø मकैको एकल बाली लगाउनु भन्दा कोशेबाली अन्तरबाली वा मिश्रित बालीको रुपमा लगाउँदा कीराको प्रकोप कम हुन्छ ।
Ø डेस्मोडियम घाँस एक किसिमको गन्ध आउने  जुन यो कीरालाई मन नपर्ने हुनाले विकर्षक बालीको रुपमा मकैको बीच बीचमा लगाउने र छेउछाउमा पासो बालीको रुपमा नेपियर घाँस लगाएर कीरालाई आकर्षित गरी नेपियरमा मात्र विषादी प्रयोगद्वारा मार्न सकिन्छ ।
Ø बिरुवालाई स्वस्थ्य र कीराको क्षति सहनसक्ने बनाउन सिफारिस गरिए अनुसार सन्तुलित मलखादको प्रयोग गर्ने ।
Ø मकै रोप्नु अघि इमिडाक्लोप्रिड (Imidacloprid)  ४८ प्रतिशत एफ एस ( Flowable concentrate for seed treatment) बिषादी प्रति किलोग्राम बीउमा ४ मी.ली.का दरले बीउ उपचार गरेर रोप्दा शुरुको ३ हप्तासम्मको बिरुवाहरुलाई क्षति हुनबाट बचाउन सकिन्छ ।
Ø निरीक्षणको क्रममा पातको तल्लो सतहमा झुण्डमा पारिएका अण्डाहरु संकलन गरी नष्ट गर्ने ।
Ø पातमा सेता लाम्चा झिल्ली सहितका प्वाल (Papery window) हरु देखा परेमा नीमजन्य विषादी एजाडिराक्टिन १५०० पीपीएम ५ मिली लिटर प्रति लिटर पानीमा मिसाएर छर्ने ।
Ø मकैको पातमा लार्भाले क्षति गरेको प्वालहरु तथा गुभोमा क्षतिको लक्षण देखा परेमा अनिवार्य रुपमा सुरक्षित पहिरन लगाई निम्नानुसारका रासायनिक विषादीहरु आलोपालो गरी विषादी मिसाएको घोल प्रति रोपनी २५ लिटरका दरले प्रयोग गर्नु पर्दछ ।
१.    इमामेक्टिन बेन्जोएट (Emamectin Benzoate ) (Kingstar) ५ प्रतिशत एस.जी. १ ग्राम प्रति २.५ लिटर पानीका दरले
२.    स्पाइनोस्याड (Spinosad) ४५ प्रतिशत एस.सी. १ मी.ली. प्रति ३ लिटर पानीका दरले मिसाएर छर्ने ।
लार्भा हुर्केपछि तथा मकैको घोगा लाग्न थाले पछि विषादीको प्रयोग प्रभावकारी नहुने हुँदा विषादी प्रयोग नगर्ने । त्यसैले, मकै बालीमा कीराको क्षतिको लक्षणहरु देखिनासाथ विषादीको प्रयोग वा अन्य व्यवस्थापन विधि अपनाई नियन्त्रण गर्नु पर्दछ । रासायनिक विषादीको प्रयोग गर्दा सुरक्षात्मक उपायहरु (मास्क, चस्मा, पुरा बाहुला भएको लुगा र जुत्ता लगाएर) अवलम्वन गर्नुपर्छ । पर्खनु पर्ने समयको ख्याल गरौ र जथाभावी बिषादीको दुरुपयोग नगरौं ।
