abstract
Pesticides are playing a prominent role in the pest management aspect in both agriculture and horticulture crops. But usage of the pesticides is posing severe ecological consequences. Alternative approach consisting of ecofriendly components are safe and is most preferable. In this view, an investigation was carried out on evaluation of different IPM modules against pest complex of chilli and it revealed that, M-I comprised of seedling treatment with raw cow milk (15%) in combination with Trichoderma (4g),incorporation of Vermicompost at 2.5t/ha and Neem cake at 2.5q/ha during transplanting, two rows of marigold barrier crop and marigold trap crop (1:16),scheduled spray of Garlic Chilli Kerosene at 5 WAT, Azadirachtin 10000 ppm (1 ml/l) + Lecanicillium lecanii (2X10⁸ cfu/ml) at 5 g/l at 9 WAT, Chlorfenapyr 10 EC @ 2 ml/l was most effective by maintaining minimum pest incidence and maximum yield i.e. 32 q/ha.
