The adoption and impact of integrated pest management (IPM) were
examined for pigeon pea cultivation in Andhra Pradesh, India. Summer ploughing
and spraying of Neem Seed Kernel Extract (NSKE) were the most regularly adopted
components of IPM for pigeon pea. A logistic regression analysis showed that age,
education, participation in community-based organizations, ability to recognize the
insect pests, and farm size influenced the decision to adopt IPM significantly. There
were variations in the extent of IPM adoption among farmers. The adoption of IPM
led to reduced use of insecticides and increased net returns. Furthermore, the use of
new-generation insecticides led to a discontinuation of IPM practices.
