The present study was conducted during 2001-02 and 2002-03 at the Experimental Farm, Department of Entomology, Marathwada Agricultural University, Parbhani. The results revealed that fenvalerate (0.05 %) and endosulfan (0.07 %) treatments were effective in checking aphid and jassid population. The treatments in which imidacloprid foliar spray was given were the next effective treatments. In case of imidacloprid foliar spray best results were obtained on 5th day after spray whereas in case of fenvalerate and endosulfan it was obtained on 1 day after spray. The treatments with only imidacloprid seed treatment were effective in checking the aphid and jassid population in early growth period of crop. But after 61 DAE, maximum aphid and jassid population was observed in higher dose seed treatment plots. The whitefly population was effective ly checked by foliar spray of imidacloprid and endosulfan. The best results of foliar sprays of imidacloprid, endosulfan and fenvalerate were observed on 1 day after spray but whitefly population built up rapidly in fenvalerate treated plots. The treatments in which only imidacloprid seed treatment was given were found ineffective in checking the whitefly population in later growth period of crop.
