Abstract

Investigations were carried out to study the effect of different modules (IPM, Insecticidal and organic)to control the infestation of whitefly and thrips on tomato, crop and their effect on natural enemies, at Agricultural Research Farm of Raja Balwant Singh College, Bichpuri, Agra, during Rabi season of 2019-2020. The IPM module was found to be more effective for the control of whitefly and thrips. Significantly higher marketable yield (502.15 qha-1) and the highest B:C ratio (3.24) was obtained with the adoption of IPM module. This module is eco-friendly and do not contain synthetic insecticides and hence less harmful to natural enemies (lady bird beetles and Crossopalpus sp.).
