Influence of farming systems on management of major pests and disease of groundnut

A field experiment was conducted during the summer 2019 to manage significant pests and diseases of groundnut. Four farming methods were evaluated against Aphis craccivora, Scirtothrips dorsalis, Spodoptera litura andearly leaf spot (Cercospora arachidicola). Among different methods, Natural (NF) (neemastra @ 625 lit/ha) significantly reduced craccivora (3.92 aphids /plant) dorsalis (11.80%) at one week after spray followed by organic (OF) a package practice (POP). Similarly, S. (0.44 % damage) infestation lower two weeks compared other treatments. Botanical decoctions found safer Coccinella transversalis in natural plot. The also effective early groundnut among minimum per cent disease index (6.26) recorded POP (hexaconazole 5EC 500ml/ha) OF (azadirachtin 10000 ppm 600ml/ha) (7.02) NF (fermented buttermilk 12.50 (7.19).
