Summary:The studies were carried out at Tandojam to evaluate the role of trap crops in the control of jassid (Amrasca biguttula biguttula) on okra crop during 2009. The result indicated that the maximum jassid population appeared in the plot where okra was sown alone (5.70/leaf) followed by okra planted with marigold (5.40/leaf), with Sunflower (5.2/leaf) and with Maize (4.4/leaf). However, the jassid population in okra (alone) was (3.91/leaf) followed by sunflower (3.1/ leaf), Marigold (0.40/leaf) and Maize (0.30/leaf) during 2009.The results revealed that the population of jassid varied significantly (p greater than 0.05) on different dates on okra alone and okra planted with trap crops.
