The investigations were carried out on management of sucking pests of soybean (Glycine max L.) at Agronomy Instructional Farm, Chimanbhai Patel College of Agriculture, Sardarkrushinagar Dantiwada Agricultural University, Sardarkrushi nagar during kharif, 2016. Among various chemical and non-chemical insecticides tested against sucking pest of soybean, imidacloprid 17.8 SL @ 0.005 % found effective against jassid and thrips while, acetamiprid 20 SP 0.004 % was effective against whitefly in soybean. The highest grain yield of soybean recorded in the treatment of imidacloprid 17.8 SL @ 0.005 % (1166 kg/ha). The net Protection Cost Benefit Ratio (PCBR) was highest in the treatment of imidacloprid (1: 23.67) followed by acetamiprid (1: 22.63), thiamethoxam (1: 17.06), dimethoate (1: 12.53) and neem oil 1500 ppm (1: 05.29). The lowest avoidable loss was recorded in the plot treated with imidacloprid 17.8 SL followed by acetamiprid 20 SP (4.45 %) and thiamethoxam 25 WG (6.34 %). On other hand highest percentage of avoidable loss in soybean yield was observed in the untreated plot (32.16).
