The aim of this study was to observe the influence of various inter crops on pod borers in black gram under rain fed condition. Among the different inter crops studied, marigold recorded the lowest mean population of spotted pod borer (0.74 larva plant) and gram blue butterfly larva (0.88 larva plant)and natural enemies like Coccinellids (2.68 beetles plant) and spider population (1.73 spider plant) was maximum in black gram inter cropped with maize.
The maximum equivalent yield was obtained from black gram inter cropped with marigold (6.04 qha) followed by black gram inter cropped with maize (5.24 qha).In conclusion marigold proved to be effective inter crop to control major pod borer and also enhance the population of natural enemies.
