%X The integrated effect of intercropping, a synthetic pesticide (monocrotopas) (M) and neem based biopesticide (neem oil - 2%) (NO) on three-groundnut defoliators damage and also the groundnut production was studied. The monocrotopas and neem oil combination was found to be very effective in reducing the defoliator infestation. Defoliator¡¯s incidence was signifi cantly higher in untreated plots, resulting in signifi cantly lower yield (1539.03 Kg h-1). The groundnut yield was increased (2011.18 Kg h-1) when monocrotophos and neem oil mixture was applied than monocrotophos (1877.77 Kg h-1) and control categories. The estimated avoidable groundnut and black gram yield loss were lower in monocrotopas.
