Maruca vitrata is one of the destructive pests of tropical legumes. Radiofrequency dependent development and adult performances of M. vitrata were examined at five radiofrequencies of 0 (control), 5, 10, 20, and 30 kHz on artificial diet. The results showed that radiofrequency have significant effects on the life variables of M. vitrata. Radiofrequency exposures on pod borer impacted on life-variables of M. vitrata and negative effects were also transmitted to the successive generations. The adults of M. vitrata were emerged with shorter longevity in case of radio-frequency treatment than untreated. Decreasing the radiofrequency level further reduced the longevity of adults. The shortest adult longevity was recorded for 5 kHz. Radiofrequency treatments have also affected on the adult performance such as weight of adult. The outcomes of this study are discussed in terms of an alternative to chemical treatments.
