The study aimed was determining the efficacy of different neonicotinoids insecticides and bio- pesticides against Bemisia tabaci on okra crop. Results revealed that significantly maximum number of whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) population reduction was recorded in imidacloprid (7.55plant-1) treated plot followed by acetamiprid (8.88plant-1) and bio-pesticides (11.99 plant-1) while minimum population reduction was recorded in clothianidin (14.66 plant-1) treated plot over checked plot after 1st application while similar observation was recorded after the 2nd application. In terms of CB ratio, highest CB ratio was recorded by imidacloprid treated plot followed by bio pesticide, acetamiprid and clothianidin while lowest CB ratio was recorded by acetamiprid.
