An experiment was carried out at experimental field of Department of Entomology, Live Stock Farm, Adhartal, JNKVV, Jabalpur (M.P.) during kharif season 2015-2016. To Studied the “Field Efficacy of Plant Leaf Extracts, Cow Urine and in Combination Against Pod Borer Complex in Pigeon pea (Cajanus Cajan (L) Millsp.)â€. Result showed that all the plant leaf extract, cow urine and in combination proved their superiority over control in reducing the pest population by different treatments. Treatments, Madar + Cow urine @ 5% (w/v) followed by Lantana + Cow urine @ 5% (w/v) proved to be the most effective treatments in reducing the damage due to pod borer complex i.e. Pod bug Clavigralla gibbosa Spinola, Green stink bug Nezara viridula Linn, Gram pod borer Helicoverpa armigera (Hub.) and Tur plume moth Exelastis atomosa (W.). Other treatments Nirgundi+ Cow urine @ 5% (w/v), Datura+ Cow urine @ 5% (w/v), Cow urine @ 5% (v/v), Madar @ 5% (w/v), Nirgundi @ 5% (w/v), Arusa@ 5% (w/v), Arusa+ Cow urine @ 5% (w/v), Datura@ 5% (w/v), Lantana @ 5% (w/v) are found to be least effective but superior over control.
