Abstract:
The insectivorous bird community of tomato crop was found effective in suppression of larval population of tomato fruit borer, Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner). The mean larval population observed in treatment plots was lower, perch plot (6.00 larva/10 plant) and open plot (7.24 larva/10 plant) and resulted in increase the yield. It is recommended to install “T” shaped bird perches 100/ha to promote birds activity.
