Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 12
Abstract
The present experiment was conducted under the study on scope and use of light trap as IPM tool in chickpea ecosystem. Documentation of information was done on biodiversity of harmful insect fauna in chickpea ecosystem collected in light trap at Jabalpur. Standard design of Jawahar light trap with 80 W mucury vapor lamp was used to record the insect catches in chickpea crop from September 2012 to April 2013.
