Indian vegetable oil economy is the world’s fourth largest after United States, China and Brazil. Mustard is mainly cultivated in India.The important factors causing low and fluctuating production of mustard in India are low or non-adoption of package of improved production technology, susceptibility of mustard varieties to pest and diseases and non-adoption of pest and diseases management practices. The major insect-pest of mustard include Aphid (Lipaphis erysimi) and Painted bug (Bagrada hilaris), threatening the crop right from sowing until end of crop season. Among diseases white rust (Albugo candida), Sclerotinia rot (Sclerotinia sclerotiorum), Alternaria blight (Alternaria brassicae) and powdery mildew (Erysiphe cruciferum) are the major diseases, which reduced the yield potential of mustard substantially. The loss in yield may depend upon the nature of the pest and severity of attack.ICAR-National Research Centre for Integrated Pest Management (NCIPM) has been working on synthesis and validation of IPM in mustard over two decades. Extensive surveys of mustard growing areas revealed that excessive and injudicious use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers have aggravated the pest menace, secondary pest outbreaks and caused environmental degradation.The technology has been successfully demonstrated at village level in Haryana and Rajasthan in farmers’ participatory mode.
