Area-Wide Integrated Pest Management in Pigeonpea 387
Babriya et al. ( 2010 ), Sharma et al. ( 2011 ) and
Chaudhary et al. ( 2008 ) reported effectiveness
of chemical insecticides in management of pod
borer using similar strategies. Mandal and Mishra
( 2003 ) and Sharma et al. ( 2011 ) reported success-
ful management of pod fly with timely detection
and use of chemical insecticides. Bisane et al.
( 2008 ) recorded similar parasitisation reports of
H. armigera. The present evaluation of pigeon-
pea IPM benefited the farmers who participated
in this programme.
