abstract
Five different IPM modules were designed and tested for the management of soil insect-pests in groundnut including farmer practices during kharif, 2019& 2020 at Durgapura, Jaipur. The data observed for white grub, Holotrichia consanguinea and termite, Odontotermes obesus. It was noticed that IPM-I consisting soil application of neem cake 250kg/ha, seed treatment with imidacloprid 600 FS-@ 6.5 ml/kg seed, application of Beauveria bassiana @ 0.5g/m² and application of imidacloprid 17.8 SL@ 300 ml/ha found significantly superior to reduced insect-pest incidence on groundnut and enhanced the yield over farmers’ practices. The population of white grub larvae and percent plant mortality were recorded to be lowest in module T₁ and recorded 0.0 larvae/m² area and 3.37% plant mortality, respectively. The module T₁ was significantly superior to rest of the treatment during both the year.
