Results of the Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) conducted in four selected villages in Mhow Tehsil of Indore district revealed that the lower soybean productivity was associated with incidence of insect-pests, in general, and girdle beetle in particular. Based on this information, interventions of integrated pest management (IPM) were evaluated for a period of four years. The results revealed that manual removal of girdle beetle infested plants on initiation of infestation at weekly interval is an effective intervention for resource poor farmers. Adoption of IPM package [soil incorporation of phorate 10 G (@ 10 kg/ha) at sowing, use of seed treated with Bt (3 g/kg seed) and Trichoderma viridae (3 g/kg seed), installation of pheromone traps (5-6/ha) and need based spray of triazophos (0.8 l/ha)] enhanced seed yield (ranged between 40 and 24 %), net income (between 49 and 27.5 %) during year 3 and 4, respectively over farmers’ practice. The adoption of IPM practices increased the average yield between from 1.65 t per ha to 2.40 t per ha with percentage increase from 24.16 to 26.73, during the four years of experimental trails.
