Treatment Yield
(q ha-1)
% Increase in Yield % Mortality /sq. m. % Reduction in mortality Net Income Rs/ha B:C Ratio**
T1 5.26 54.95 17.26 67.55 5650 1:1.75
T2 8.15 5.60 11475 1:2.3
Result: Mustard Aphid management by chemical the average yield was 8.15 q/ha which is the best over 5.26 q/ha it means the use of Imidachlorpid 17.85% SL increases the yield 54.95% with Aphid population 5.60/cm2 and 17.26/ cm2 respectively.
Recommendations: Spray Imidaclorpid 17.8 SL 3 ml/ 15 lt of water during incidence of aphid.
