The results revealed that fipronil 5 SC @ 0.005% was found most effective to reduce the thrips population (57.3%) and it gave highest marketable green chilli yield (9.98 t/ha) followed by spinosad 45 SC @ 0.018%, lambda cyhalothrin 5 EC @ 0.005% and clothianidin 50 WDG @ 0.006% by reducing 55.6, 53.7 and 51.8% and 9.18, 8.98 and 8.12 t/ha, respectively. However, the highest ICBR (1: 46.00) was recorded in lambda cyhalothrin 5 EC @ 0.005% followed by fipronil 5 SC @ 0.005% (1: 40.00) and clothianidin 50 WDG @ 0.006% (1: 23.40).
