Abstract
A On Farm Trial (OFT) on Assessment of Integrated Pest Management module for management of pod borer in chickpea was conducted at Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Lalitpur. The practices such as cultural and mechanical, biological and need based chemical practices were followed in IPM plot. The IPM practices deep summer ploughing, use of pheromone traps @ 5 traps / ha for Monitoring purpose, Bird perches @ 50/ ha, HaNPV @ 250 LE/ha and Emamectin benzoate @ 220 gm/ha gave average yield 19.85 q/ha as compared to farmers practices i.e 14.5 q/ha. The per cent increase in yield over control was 35.91 and 37.83 during 2020-21 and 2021-22, respectively. The net return was Rs. 73120/-, Rs. 76260/- and Rs. 46550/-, Rs. 47320/- in IPM plot and Non IPM plot during 2020-21 and 2021-22, respectively. The average benefit cost ratio was 3.1 and 1.8 in IPM plot and Non IPM plot, respectively.
