Abstract
Groundnut plots receiving vermicompost (2 t/ha)+neem cake (250 kg/ha)+bio-fertilizers (2 kg/ha)+NPK (8.5:34:54 kg/ha) had significantly less incidence of lepidopteran pests, recording the overall mean leaf damage of 13.3% with a reduction from full dose of NPK of 49.6% for leafminer (Aproaerema modicella), 13.0% and a reduction of 41.4% for tobacco caterpillar (Spodoptera litura) and 10.1% and a reduction of 43.8% for gram pod borer (Helicoverpa armigera) while it was 26.4, 22.2 and 18.0% in full dose of NPK. Yield in treatment was the highest of 1748 kg wet pods/ha while it was 1560 kg wet pods/ha in full dose of NPK and 987 kg wet pods/ha in untreated check
