Abstract

The results revealed that Biointensive Pest Management (BIPM) module was ultimately the promising one with better net returns (Cost: Benefit ratio 1:1.20) and effective conservation of natural enemies eventhough Farmers Practice (FP) and Integrated Pest Management modules initially hosted less larval population and minimum extent of damage indicating the suitability and feasibility of BIPM for pigeon pea ecosystems.
