Pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan L. (Millsp.)), a protein rich pulse is grown in the semi-arid regions of India. An IPM module consisting of different techniques developed by TNAU was evaluated in the pigeon pea farmer’s holdings of Tamil Nadu during Kharif seasons of 2003, 2004 and 2005. The results indicated minimum damage of pod borers in IPM field and higher levels in the farmers’ practice. Higher grain yield and C/B ratio were also realized in the IPM demonstrated fields compared to farmers’ practice
