The tomato pinworm damage, population build-up, the damage and longevity of native predatory bug, Nesidiocoris tenuis in sole crop diversified (pumpkin sunn hemp as border + a patch hedgerow) were studied. Infestation pinworm, Phthorimaea absoluta was found to be highest (5.60 live mines/plant at 20 DAP) compared (1.50 mines per plant). No significant difference number necrotic rings plant obse...

These calcareous inherently nutrient-poor require management for successful crop production. Sunn hemp (SH, Crotalaria juncea) velvet bean (VB, Mucuna pruriens) highly productive leguminous cover crops (CCs) that have shown potential to add large quantities of dry biomass nutrient-...
