Eco-Friendly Management of Insect Pests (Chrysodeixis Acuta) of Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) Through Varietal Screening in the Dewas District of Madhya Pradesh
Abstract
We used a randomized block design (three replications) to test ten soybean varieties that farmers liked best to see how well they naturally resist the green semilooper, Chrysodeixis acuta. The pooled larvae per plant means showed clear differences between the entries. JS-97-52 had the fewest larvae per plant (0.48), while JS-335 had the most (2.94). Resistance classes based on field-relevant thresholds corresponded with post-hoc groups. The results support host plant resistance as a key part of IPM for the Dewas district (Malwa region). This means that less insecticide is needed without hurting production.
