Abstract

An experiment was conducted at Zonal Agricultural and Horticultural Sciences (ZAHRS), UAHS, Hiriyur during 2015-16 to evaluate some intercropping systems for the management of shoot fly (Atherigona pulla) in little millet. Little millet was intercropped with cowpea, field bean, onion, garlic, coriander and dill compared with sole crop (Little millet). Effect of different intercrops on shoot fly incidence revealed that little millet + onion and little millet + garlic cropping systems was shown superiority in reducing oviposition, per cent deadheart and high grain and fodder yield both in kharif and rabi but, conserved less coccinellids compared to other crops (cowpea and field bean). The results on B: C ratio revealed that little millet + onion, little millet + field bean and little millet + cowpea recorded highest B: C ratio compared to others.
