Table 2

Effect of the combination of planting date and insecticide application on yield and yield components of haricot bean in 2012 and 2013 main cropping season.

Planting date	Seed dressing	Number of pods per plant^1	Number of seeds per pod^1	Seed yield (Kg/ha)^1
Normal planting	Apron star	8.13± 2.33	4.48 ± 0.77	669.3± 60.36
	No Apron star	5.02± 1.38	2.83 ± 0.27	209.6± 53.85
Late planting	Apron star	12.0± 1.06	5.61 ± 0.39	1223.7± 100.52
	No Apron star	9.0± 1.19	5.01± 0.45	802.4± 73.05
CV (%)		23.85	15.03	27.27
LSD (5%)		2.74	1.14	130.48

Percentage of disease incidence (mean of three replications); NPDS, number of plants showing disease symptom; NDPL, number of dead plants; 10 days after normal planting; means followed by the same letter (s) within a column are not significantly different (P=0.05).
