The experiment conducted over two years (1996-97 and 1997-98) at Agriculture Research Station, Annigeri on the utilization of plant products in the management of safflower aphid clearly indicated that the botanical pesticides especially neem seed kernel extract (5%) and neem cake extract (5%) were competent enough to manage the pest as compared to chemical insecticides. Since these plant products are ecologically and environmentally safer and also they possess better benefit cost ratio, they can be efficiently utilized in the management of safflower aphid.
