Abstract
The evaluation of the biopesticides and clay against the fruit flies Bactrocera spp., on mango was done with field experiments. The results have revealed that spinosad @ 0.002% resulted in 14.44 and 8.89% infestation in 2016 and 2017, respectively, and was the best. It was followed by 0.01% azadirachtin and these are effective than the recommended 0.1% malathion. The cost benefit ratio was observed to be the maximum with malathion 1% (19.83: 1 and 4.58: 1 in 2016 and 2017, respectively).
