A field experiment was conducted during kharif 2020 at Dhule ,Maharashtra (India) to determine efficacy of some insecticides, biopesticides and botanicals against shoot fruit borer (Leucinodes orbonalis Guenee.) on brinjal (Solanum melongena L.). The result showed that the Emamectin benzoate 5% SG (10.35% 15.91%) found most effective followed by Cypermethrin 25%EC (11.49 17.32%), Spinosad 45%SC...

 Study Design: The experimental materials consisted fifteen two checks were laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) three replic...

Abstract Background Brinjal shoot and fruit borer (BSFB), Leucinodes orbonalis Guenee is the key pest of brinjal that causes a significant yield loss. Farmers spray wide range insecticides right from vegetative stage till last harvesting to protect crop notorious BSFB, which leads pesticide residue insecticide resistance problems. To overcome this, now focus has shifted bio pesticides but their...
