abstract
Citrus is one of the most prominent commercial fruits of North-Eastern India. Among different Citrus species, the Khasi mandarin (Citrus reticulata Blanco) produced in this region is famous for its superior quality. Cultivation of Khasi mandarin is plagued with various problems including high incidence of insect pests, which can cause serious quantitative and qualitative losses. Efforts were made to evaluate three modules viz., Bio-intensive IPM module (BIPM), IPM module and Farmers’ Practice (FP) based on the earlier field studies for the management of insect pest in Khasi mandarin under the climatic conditions of North-Eastern India. Among the three management modules, IPM proved to be the promising one with better net returns followed by BIPM. This study is targeted to provide Khasi mandarin growers with a sustainable IPM module which may be used as better knowledge kit for higher production.
