Effect of Various Modules against Leaf Hopper, Amrasca biguttula biguttula Ishida on Okra

Abstract

Field studies were undertaken to assess the Effect of various modules against leaf hopper, Amrasca biguttula biguttula Ishida on Okra of eight modules against leaf hopper during summer 2014-15 and kharif, 2015-16 at Chilli and Vegetable Research Unit, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola (M.S.). Among eight different modules tested the lowest population of leaf hopper (5.07/leaf) was recorded in M6, followed by module M7 (5.31LH/leaf) and M5 (5.79LH/leaf) and these treatments were found statistically at par among themselves and superior over rest of the treatments during summer 2014-15. Similar trend was observed during kharif 2015-16 indicating minimum population of leaf hopper was observed in module M6 (4.57/leaf), followed by module M7 (4.74/leaf) and module M5 (5.19/leaf). The lowest population of leaf hopper (4.82/leaf) was recorded in module M6 followed by M7 (5.02LH/leaf) and M5 (5.49LH/leaf) and they were statistically at par with other. Module M6 and M7 were significantly superior over remaining treatments except module M5 which was further found to be statistically at par with M4 (6.57LH/leaf) and M2 (6.69LH/leaf) and superior over M3, M1 and M8 during summer and kharif season, respectively K e y w o r d sOkra, Leaf hopper, Module
