Open full text 1 citations

Abstract

Brinjal is one of the important vegetable crops in India. Brinjal shoot and fruit borer (BSFB) (Leucinodes orbonalis) is important insect pest of brinjal, because it causes huge yield losses. Field experiment was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and economics of the naturally derived insecticide, Spinosad 45%SC over the locally used insecticides against the BSFB. The result of the experiment confirms that the shoot infestation was lowest in the Spinosad treated field and the yield was also higher with its application over the control and other treatment.
