Greengram is grown mainly as a Kharif seasoncrop which suffers from several diseases caused by both fungi and viruses.Among the viral diseases, leaf crinkle is an important disease that infects thecrop at various stages of its growth which reduces both quantity and quality ofthe seed. Effective management of insect vectors of plant pathogens is ofcrucial importance in minimizing vector-borne diseases in crops. Among thevarious treatments tested for managing the leaf crinkle virus disease, seedtreatment with imidacloprid 60 FS (5 ml/kg) along with two sprays ofimidacloprid 17.8 SL (0.03%) at 25 and 40 days after sowing was found highlyeffective and recorded the lowest per cent disease incidence and least numberof aphids.
