Aphis craccivora Koch is a polyphagous aphid and a major pest of legume crops. The yield losses of broad bean due to Aphis craccivora Koch is huge. Field trials were conducted during two cropping seasons at Churachandpur district, Manipur to determine the effectiveness of two insecticides including yellow sticky trap in broadbean against A. craccivora population and yield of broadbean. The population of the aphids were significantly reduced when the plants received Imidachloprid @ 0.4ml/l and Buprofezin 15% + Acephate 35% WP in broadbean. On the other hand, yellow sticky trap installed treatment significantly decreased the aphid population and increased yield against the untreated plot. The result of the study indicated that that neonicotinoid and organo phosphorus groups of insecticides can be used for management of Aphis craccivora population in broadbean against A. craccivora and increased the yield.
