Evaluation of Resistant Genotype Against Brinjal Shoot and Fruit Borer (Leucinodesorbonalis Guenee)

Brinjal shoot and fruit borer (BSFB), Leucinodesorbonalis Guenee, is a devastating pest of brinjal (Solanummelongena L.) in all growing countries across the globe. Ten genotypes were evaluated against experimental field Khulna University, Bangladesh following arandomized block design with three replications. The BARI Hybrid Begun-2, Begun-4, BT-4, Begun-9 Begun-10, Local Cultivar-1, Cultivar-2, Cultivar- 3, Cultivar-4 Begun-4among ten genotypes, reduced infestation recorded local cultivar-1 Begun 2. On degree infestation, hybrid BT begun 4 appeared to be resistant while rest susceptible or highly susceptible. Volume index was documented high low cultivar shape 2 Begun-10. possessed greater meso pericarp thickness although those not resistant. Above all, using may considered as last resort inan optimized IPM package ensure maximum productivity.
