Abstract

Field trials were carried out to find the efficacy of multineem and NSKE with insecticides used alone or in combinations against jassid, Amrasca biguttula biguttula, spotted bollworm, Earias vittella on okra.

The treatment combination with multineem and imidacloprid @ 1.0 L+150.0 ml/ha (2 sprays) was significantly superior among all the treatments with benefit cost ratio of 10.50:1.
