Abstract
Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is a leading oilseed crop in India and an important oilseed crop of tropical and subtropical regions of the world. The seed (kernels) contains up to 50 per cent of a non drying oil, 40-50 per cent fat, 20-50 per cent protein and 10-20 per cent carbohydrate (Mehta, 2002). Though India ranks first in area under groundnut cultivation, the productivity is quite low compared to that of USA, China, Argentina and Indonesia (Anon., 2005). The reason for low productivity of groundnut is due to biotic and abiotic stresses during crop growth. Pests and diseases are the major biotic stresses for groundnut production. Groundnut crop is attacked by about 90 species of insect pests. The sucking insect pest complex comprising thrips, S. dorsalis and leaf hoppers, E. kerri are the major pests of importance on groundnut crop specially when raised under summer conditions and bunch varieties are severely infested (David and Ramamurthy, 2011).
