Efficacy of five insecticides viz., spiromesifen (100g a.i./ha), chlorantraniliprole (20g a.i./ha), novaluron (75g a.i./ha), flubendamide (25g a.i./ha) and carbosulfan EC (250g a.i./ha) were studied against insect pests of brinjal. Two foliar sprays at 21 days interval were given which revealed that all insecticides were effective against leafhoppers and whiteflies. As far as infestation of Leucinodes orbonalis was concerned, damage in various treatments ranged 4.0–14.2% as compared to 23.1% of control on weight basis while it ranged from 3.5–12.2% in treatments on number basis, it was 20.6% in untreated check.
