The gain threshold of 341.5 kg ha-1 was computed on the basis of whole sale price of pods of Indian bean (Rs. 6.00 kg-1 ) and current management cost (Rs. 2049). The corresponding value of economic injury level (EIL) was worked out to be 24.19 aphids per shoot. In the field, the mean aphid population was found to be increased at the rate of 3.09 aphids per day per shoot. Based on economic injury level (...
