Abstract
Abstract Action thresholds for initiating insecticide sprays based on peak egg laying and flat pod damage were evaluated in the field for the pod borer, Adisura atkinsoni Moore on field (hyacinth) bean. An initial spray at peak egg laying and tender pod stage, followed by sprays to maintain 0.5 flat pods damaged/inflorescence reduced pod and seed damage and maximized the yield and net returns. In addition, the investigation resulted in fewer insecticide applications than calendar‐based sprays.
