Abstract

The investigation on Assessment of Crop Yield Losses in Green gram due to Major Insect-pests was carried out at Agricultural Research Station, Sriganganagar during Kharif- 2022. The infestation of whitefly, thrips and spotted pod borer significantly influenced the yield and yield attributing plant characters of mung bean. It caused 3.98, 63.98, 66.29 and 21.01 per cent reduction in plant height, number of pods, number of grain and grain weight, respectively.

Assessment, loss, yield, insect-pest

Conclusion

The insect pest adversely affected the plant height, number of pods, number of grain, grain damage and weight of grain/ plot. Experiment conducted on assessment of losses revealed that the minimum insect pest infestation and maximum plant height, significantly higher number of pods, number of grain and grain weight was recorded from protected plots over the unprotected set of plots.
