The investigations reveal that maximum population of green semilooper was observed on vegetative stage of Glycine max while tobacco caterpillar was most frequent on flowering and pod stages. The order of frequency of pests at vegetative stage was green semilooper (1.2) >tobacco caterpillar (0.8) >grass hoppers (0.4) >girdle beetle and Heliothis sp. (0.2 each) >white fly (0.1). The order of frequency of pests of flowering stage was, tobacco caterpillar (3.25) >green semilooper, Heliothis sp. and grass hopper (0.8 each) >girdle beetle (0.6) >white fly (0.4) >Bihar hairy caterpillar (0.3) >pollen feeder (0.2) while the frequency order at pod stages was tobacco caterpillar (2.75) >Heliothis sp. and grasshoppers (0.8 each) >girdle beetle and hairy caterpillar (0.5 each) >pollen feeder (0.4) >white fly (0.2).
