ABSTRACT
Rapessed and mustard are important oilseed crops in India. The vulnerability of the crop to mustard aphid, Lipaphis erysimi Kaltenbach is the main bottleneck in successful cultivation of this crop. In order to use insecticides at a minimum level, effectiveness of different Integrated Pest Management (IPM) modules were tested under field conditions. The module (NSKE + Chrysoperla carnea) proved most effective in reducing the aphid population in terms of socio-economic and environmental values.
