Abstract
The impact of intercropping on E. kerri ofpigeonpea during rainy (kharif) and post rainy (rabi) seasons was determined by adopting three dryland crops - cereal (sorghum) pulse (greengram) and oilseed (castor) as intercrops with three differently maturing cultivars of pigeonpea. The infestation varied significantly among differently maturing three cultivars of pigeonpea as noted by low cumulative pest units (CPU) in Short Duration (SD) pigeonpea (78.39) compared to Medium Duration (MD) pigeonpea (86.05) and Long Duration (LD) pigeonpea (88.32) in rainy season. The castor and sorghum as intercrops reduced the leafhopper infestation significantly recording 76.36 and 76.77 CPU respectively than the sole crop. SD pigeonpea + sorghum, SD pigeonpea+ castor, LD pigeonpea+ castor and, MD pigeonpea+ sorghum had low leafhopper population. Similar trend was observed in post rainy season also. The activity of predators (coccinellids and spiders) and microclimate variables showed significant association with E. kerri in effective cropping systems.
