Impact assessment of Plant protection technologies for management of insect pests and diseases in Fruit, Vegetables and Spices

The impact assessment was based on the technologies assessed over farmers’ practices with reference to plant infestation in % yield, net return and cost benefit ratio. It was found that the significantly lower 2 gum spots/plant of gummosis disease was noticed in mandarin as assessed and demonstrated plant protection technologies in compression to farmers practice 5 gum spots/plant. The higher fruit yield 1150 fruits/plant, net return 1140/plant and cost benefit ration 3.1 were also recorded over farmers practice 860 fruits/plant, 757/plant and 2.75, respectively. Average 4.93% infestation due to insect pests and diseases were observed in vegetables and spices with assessed technology over farmers practice 16.9% infestation. higher 188.1 q/ha yield, 1,17,522.2/ha net return and 3.35 cost benefit ratio were also seemed in the recommended practice over farmers practice with their 157.65 q/ha yield, 86,331.7/ha net return and 2.43 cost benefit ratio. Among vegetables (okra, bringal & potato) and spicies (ginger & chillies) were assessed for technology proposed.
