Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 7
Abstract
To evaluate the effect of different intercropping systems and organic manures on maize stem borers, Chilo partellus (Swinhoe) and Sesamia inferens, experiment was carried out in college of Agriculture, Shivamogga. The results revealed that maize + cowpea (M1) recorded lowest number of pinholes per plant and least cob damage with reduced yield loss. With regard to interaction effect, maize + cowpea along with the application of neem cake (M1S3) was found to be most effective treatment in reducing pinholes and cob damage with reduced yield loss.
