ABSTRACT
A field experiment was conducted at experimental field of Department of Entomology, Live Stock Farm, Adhartal, J.N.K.V.V., Jabalpur (M.P.) during kharif season 2011-2012. The present study revealed that diversification of crop habitat with different weather parameters significantly influenced the incidence of pod infesting pest complex. Pigeonpea bordered with maize (PP-M) was found to be most promising as it recorded minimum grain damage against pod infesting pest complex and registered highest grain yield, followed by pigeonpea bordered with sorghum fodder (PP-S) and sole pigeonpea (PP), respectively.
Key words :
Crop habitat, Diversification, Pod pest complex, Pigeonpea, Weather parameters.
