Soybean ranks first among all the oil seed crops, based on their production in world, but this crop is being damaged by several insect pests which are major constraints to achieve healthy production. This can be achieve by chemical controls. But now more emphasis is given to the natural insecticides as they can biodegradable and less harmfull to environment. Results showed that datura and neem leaves decoction with cow urine (10% conc.) and poisnous butter milk proved to be somewhat effective in controlling leaf defoliators and also having some impact to reduce adults whitefly population and percent infestation by girdle beetle. The yield was higher in all the treatments than control so it can be concluded that dairy by-products have some yield promoting capacity too. Larval parasitisation of Bihar hairy caterpillar was significantly higher in all the treatments in comparison to chemical control.ennullThesis
