In groundnut ecosystem, organic treatment recorded significantly less number of aphids (8.55/cm twig), thrips (3.57/leaflet), leaf hoppers (1.72/sweep) and S. iitura (2.40 / m.row) compared to integrated nutrient management and inorganic treatment. Similarly in soybean ecosystem also significantly less number of thrips (4.40/leaflet), leaf hoppers (2.90/sweep), S. litura (3.12/m.row) and T. orchalcea (1.88/m.row) were observed in organic treatment compared to INM and RPP. Organically treated groundnut spared the predators by recording significantly higher number of coccinellid beetles (3.71/plant) followed by INM (2.61/plant) and RPP (1.50/plant). Syrphids population (1.11 maggot / m.row) and N. rileyi incidence (1.09 mycosed/ m. row) was found significantly higher in organic treatment. Whereas, statistically at par in INM and RPP.ennullThesis
