An investigation was carried out during rabi 2017-18 to evaluate the bioefficacy of seven integrated pest management modules against shoot and fruit borer, Leucinodes orbonalis (Guenee) in brinjal. M1-Moderately resistant brinjal genotype selected from screening experiments (IC 136061), M2- Control, M3-M6 comprised of various components from cultural, physical, mechanical, biological and chemical control methods in various combinations, M7-farmers consisting farmers practice received least overall mean per cent fruit infestation () on number and weight basis compared to all other modules (M1-M6). However it was on par with M1 with regard to overall mean fruit infestation. Significantly superior performance in efficacy of modules in respect of fruit yield (, kg/ha) was observed in M7 in comparison to other IPM modules M1 ( kg/plot, kg/ha), M2 ( kg/plot, kg/ha), M3 ( kg/plot, kg/ha), M4 ( kg/plot, kg/ha), M5 ( kg/plot, kg/ha), M6 ( kg/plot, kg/ka). | Evaluation of integrated pest management modules against Brinjal shoot and fruit borer leucinodes Orbonalis (Guenee) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae)
