| Abstract: | Indiscriminate use of synthetic
pesticides in the groundnut ecosystem lead to killing of useful organisms,
contamination in the food chain, pollution in the air and water. Though
neem, Azadirachta indica A. Juss. is indigenous to India, has been
in limited use in the agricultural ecosystem. The potential of the neem as
pesticides has been verified in groundnut crop by few researchers in India. The
mortality of jassids, aphids, leaf miner in groundnut, action on hairy
caterpillars are reported in literature. The negative aspects of neem as
pesticides have also been reported. Integrated pest management includes a
judicious blend of a multi-pronged approach either reducing the incidence or
delaying the build up of the intensity of insect complex. So far, the work done
in groundnut ecosystem has been reviewed in this article. |
