Abstract

Results of 5 biointensive pest management (BIPM) strategies indicated their superiority over the control. Maximum yield was obtained in plots where IPM was practiced (86.66 q/ha). However highest net return was obtained in Bio Control Plot where trichogramma spp. were released @ 1,00,000/ha with Rs. 42,388.50 on per hectare basis.
