Sucking pests incidence on green gram genotypes correlating with yield

Abstract

The experiment was carried out during Kharif 2022, on the Mungbean at experimental research field was conducted research farm of Entomology, Department of Agricultural Entomology, College of Agriculture, Badnapur, VNMKV Parbhani, with objectives, to screen mungbean genotype against sucking pest complex. The experiment under RBD with the seven treatments and three replications. Investigating for major sucking insect pests i.e., aphids (Aphis crassivora), whitefly (Bemisia tabaci), thrips (Thrips tabaci) and leafhopper (Empoasca kerri). The overall sucking complex population was recorded lowest in cultivars PM 809-10,BM 2021-2 and ATM 2022-06 proved to be most effective and tolerant against sucking pest population of aphids, leaf hoppers, thrips and whiteflies and recording minimum pod damage and highest grain yield.
