- Intervention effect Biopesticides gave significant reductions in leaf damage (8.40%) compared with insecticides (8.89%).
- Intervention effect Biopesticides gave significant reductions in larval populations.
- Intervention effect Larval counts at 50 DAS dropped from 21.29 (FP) to 3.37 (Demo) in 2018-19.
- Intervention effect Larval counts at 50 DAS dropped from 22.15 (FP) to 3.53 (Demo) in 2019-20.
- Recommendation The findings support the economic viability of adopting biopesticides in groundnut cultivation.
