Abstract

A field experiment was conducted to find out the effect of different dates of sowing during 2009–2010 at University of Agricultural Sciences, Raichur to study seasonal incidence of parasitoid fauna on groundnut leaf miner. Highest leaf miner incidence was recorded during September (15.40 larvae/plant) on groundnut crop sown on 1st of August 2009, and the next peak incidence was observed during August (13.70 larvae/plant) on that sown on 15th July 2009.
