Abstract

The present investigation was undertaken to evaluate the integrated pest management module against L.orbonalis in brinjal under field conditions. The brinjal fruit obtained Salem district is being sell to other states. Due to this massive requirement, farmers have a tendency to spray a higher number of pesticidal sprays to thwart slight damage or bore hole due to L.orbonalis. Crop damage produced by brinjal shoot and fruit borer was evaluated on the basis of damaged shoot and fruits separately. In order to assess the per cent shoot damage, the damaged shoots on five randomly selected tagged plants were counted as against total available shoots on the observed plants. In present study, Kharif and Rabi season recorded highest fruit yield of 288.71 and 307.50 quintals/ha and favorable cost benefit ratio of 1:2.07 and 1: 2.03 was recorded in IPM module plot respectively.
