Online published on 31 March, 2015. Abstract The minimum per cent shoot infestation by brinjal shoot and fruit borer, (Leucinodes Orbonalis Guen.) was recorded in Profenofos 50 EC followed by Indoxacarb 14.5 SC and maximum in NSKE 5%. The minimum per cent fruit infestation was recorded in Indoxacarb 14.5 SC followed by Profenofos and maximum in NSKE 5 per cent. The highest fruit yield per plot was recorded from Indoxacarb 14.5 SC (161.016 q/ha) followed by Profenofos 50 EC (154.85 q/ha). The per cent yield increase over control was highest with indoxacarb (76.87) treatment followed by Profenofos 50 EC (70.10), Acephate 75 SP (66.47) and Spinosad 45 SC (63.36) treatments.
