Incidence of sucking insect pests in groundnut
Keywords:
Groundnut, Management, Sucking Pests, Seasonal IncidenceAbstract
Groundnut crop is damaged by various insect pests, hence monitoring their incidence plays a key role for planning management strategies. Thrips and leafhopper population was found throughout the year, but we observed two significant peaks of thrips population during 6th and 38th Standard week and leafhopper population had three peaks at 7th, 43rd and 45th Standard weeks. Hence suitable management strategies could be planned during these periods to manage these insect pests.
