Use of Biopesticides Against Leucinodes Orbonalis Guen. Infestation and Yield in Brinjal

Among the seven biopesticides tested, four sprays of emamectin benzoate 5 S G @ 0.2 ml and spinosad 45 SC @ 0.1 ml/L of water were found to be most effective in reducing shoot infestation (14.6%,16.9%) and fruit infestation (9.0%, 10.9%), respectively as compared to untreated check.(shoot infestation 39.2% & fruit infestation 39.3%). Highest marketable fruit yield was recorded in emamectin benzoate 158.51 q/ha. and spinosad 153.51 q/ha. whereas untreated check recorded lowest marketable fruit yield of 83.93 q/ha.
