The significant lowest cow bug and pod bug population was observed during crop sown on 2nd fortnight of July, while the highest population was recorded during crop sown on 2nd fortnight of August, i.e late sowing. The interaction effect of sowing dates and varieties had non-significant influence on the cow bug population while, significant influence on the number of pod bug plant-1.
