Field investigation on the management of pod bugs in cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.) using eco-friendly insecticides was carried out during the kharif season in 2018 at dry land farm, S.V. Agricultural College, Tirupati. The results revealed that neem seed kernel extract, NSKE @ 5 percent was found to be the most effective in reducing pod bugs population with highest mean percent reduction over the control (65.0%), lowest percent pod damage (39.57%), seed damage (27.33%), highest hundred-grain weight (12.0gm) and the highest grain yield (933 kgha-1) followed by spinosad @ 0.2 ml/l and neem oil @ 0.5 percent. Therefore, it might be suggested that NSKE @ 5 percent can be applied for the better management of pod bugs in cowpea.
