Abstract

The field experiment was carried out during kharif 2011-12 and 2012-13 at Department of Agricultural Entomology, Vasantrao Naik Marathwada Krishi Vidyapeeth, Parbhani to understand the influence of cropping system on incidence of pod borer complex. The pooled results indicated that all the intercropping system reduced the incidence H. armigera, M. obtusa and E. atomosa population. With regard to pod damage at green pod stage pooled results showed that pigeonpea + sorghum intercropping recorded minimum green pod damage (11.53 and 16.82 per cent) by H. armigera and M. obtusa, respectively. Maximum green pod damage (15.95 and 23.03 per cent) by H. armigera and M. obtusa respectively was recordedin pigeonpea + soybean treatment. There were no significant differences in green pod damage by E. atomosa. With regard to grain damage by H. armigera and M. obtusa, pigeonpea + sorghum treatment proved best recorded 6.53 and 14.81 per cent grain damage respectively and pigeonpea + soybean recorded maximum grain damage (8.98 and 20.7 per cent) by H. armigera and M. obtusa, respectively. All intercropping system were superior than sole pigeonpea.
