In a field trial influence of crop biodiversity on population dynamics of Empoasca fabae (harris) in pigeonpea was studied with four treatments i.e. Pigeonpea + Maize (M) as border crop, Pigeonpea + Sorghum fodder (SF) as border crop, Pigeonpea sole unprotected (PP -uP) and Pigeonpea sole protected (PP - P). The minimum population of Empoasca fabae (harris) was found in Pigeonpea + Maize (M) as border crop (2.33) while maximum in Pigeonpea sole unprotected (PP -uP) (3.26). Correlation between various abiotic factors and jassid population in leaf were found to be non significant.
