Abstract

                                A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of various intercrops on the incidence of groundnut leaf miner, Aproaerema modicella Deventer, at Gandhi Krishi Vignana Kendra (GKVK), University of Agricultural Sciences (UAS). Bangalore during 1994 kharif season. The study indicated that the incidence of leaf miner was reduced and pod yield was increased under intercropping combinations compared to monocropping of groundnut. The lesser leaf miner incidence and higher groundnut pod yield was recorded in groundnut + sorghum, groundnut + maize and groundnut + cowpea intercropping systems.

Key words : Groundnut, Leaf miner, Intercropping, Incidence
