Objectives
1. Validation and refinement of location specific IPM technology in
Groundnut crop
3. Socio-economic impact analysis of groundnut IPM technology
2. Horizontal Dissemination of the IPM technology in groundnut
8. IPM Module in Groundnut
Crop rotation (with non host cereal crops)
Removal of volunteer plants / plant debris
Use of trap crops: Cowpea/Soybean (for leaf
miner)
Grow border crop: Pearl millet/ sorghum/maize
(for Thrips reduce PSNV)
Vegetative trapping: Jatropha/Calotropis (RHC),
Neem branches (Adult whitegrubs)
Intercropping: castor/red gram (1:1)
Soil application: neem cake/ castor cake @ 200
