Abstract:
Impact studies of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approaches against pod borer in chickpea through FLD were conducted at forty farmer’s fields of Sawaimadhopur district under RKVY Project during Rabi 2011–12. The IPM approaches recorded 14.30 per cent less pod damage and resulted in 20.75 per cent higher grain yield over farmer’s local practice (13.25q/ha.) with incremental B: C ratio of 7. 70.
