ABSTRACT
Aphid is one of the most destructive pests of pea and. it reduces the quantity and quality of the crop. The aimed of study to determine the efficacy of various plant extracts viz., (Green Chili (Capsicum spp.), Garlic Fresh Cloves (A. sativum), Chinaberry Fresh leaves (M. azedarach), Eucalpytus leaves against pea aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum. The research experiment was design randomize complete block (RCBD) with three replications and two sprays were applied at 14 days interval. After 7 and 14 days of 1st and 2nd application the minimum means density of aphids were recorded in plot treated with Eucalpytus leaves (8.33, 4.66) and (5, 3) respectively and followed by Garlic fresh cloves (13, 11). After 2nd spray followed by green chili (12.66) and chinaberry (11). After 7 and 14 days maximum mean density of aphids after 1st and 2nd spray application (14, 16) and (19, 17) were observed in control plot. The highest yield Were recorded in plot treated with Eucalpytus leaves (1728.3kg/ha) followed by Garlic fresh cloves (1555.3kg/ha). While lowest yield (904.7kg/ha) was recorded in control plot. It was concluded from the study that all the botanical extracts reduce the population of aphids but Eucalpytus leaves showed best results in aphid papulation reduction and yield. It is recommended that the botanical extract of Eucalpytus leaves was most superior at the rest of the other botanical extracts.
