Hitendra Kumar and Khilendra Singh
Among twenty six different insect pests species infesting brinjal, the shoot and fruit borer, Leucinodes orbonalis, White fly, Bemisia tabaci and leaf hopper, Amrasca biguttula biguttula noticed to cause heavy damage. The brinjal shoot and fruit borer is a regular pest damaging the crop throughout the year. The yield loss due to the pest is to the extent of 70-92 per cent.T-4(Turmeric + Chilli + Garlic) provided significantly high control followed by T2 (Turmeric + Chilli) and T3(Turmeric + Garlic). Efficacy of T1 was better against leaf hopper in comparision to L. orbonalis andwhitefly.
