Effect of different Agro techniques for pod borer complex management in Pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan L. Millsp.)

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted during the rainy season of 2014-2015 on ““Evaluation of agro-techniques for yield maximization in pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.]”” at Experimental Farm of Agricultural research station Badnapur, Marathwada Agril. University, Parbhani. To find out The IPM treated plot viz., IPM; INM + IPM; IWM + IPM and INM+IWM+IPM recorded significantly lower population of Helicoverpa armigera, Plume moth, Maruca and pod fly and percent of pod damage by Helicoverpa armigera, Plume moth, Maruca and pod fly as compared to untreated plot. In IPM treated plot INM + IWM + IPM recorded significantly highest seed yield followed by IWM + IPM as compared to control.
