Abstract

The data presents the effect of botanical insecticides, in the presence of field margin vegetation on aphids (abundance, severity of damage and percent incidence), number and diversity of natural enemies and growth and yield of lablab beans in the highlands of Rift Valley, Kenya. A clearly discernible reduction in the abundance, severity of damage and incidence of aphids, enhanced number and diversity of natural enemies and increased grain yield of lablab bean.
