abstract
The present field experiment was conducted to study incidence of brinjal shoot and fruit borer L. orbonalis (Guenee) on different dates of transplanting at Horticulture Farm of Rajasthan College of agriculture, MPUAT Udaipur during Kharif July 2016 to February. The incidence of L. orbonalis on brinjal was noticed in different dates. The 3^rd transplanted crop recorded relatively higher shoot damage with a mean of (18.01 per cent) followed by that in 1^st, 2^nd and 4^th transplanted crop with a mean of 16.07 per cent, 16.17 per cent, and 15.86 per cent. Similarly; the 3^rd transplantation crop recorded highest mean fruit damage (17.65 per cent on number basis and 15.70 per cent on weight basis) followed by 1^st, 2^nd, and 4^th, transplanted crop recorded with a mean fruit damage (15.95 per cent on number basis and 14.64 per cent on weight basis, 15.95 per cent on number basis and 14.64 per cent on weight basis, 17.62 per cent on number basis and 14.97 per cent on weigh basis and then 16.67 per cent on number basis and 14.61 per cent on weight basis).
