All pesticide treatments were significantly effective in minimizing the infestation of fruit borer. Minimum fruit damage of 5.0 and 5.1% on number and weight basis was recorded in rynaxypyr 20 SC @ 0.4 ml lit⁻¹ treatment followed by flubendiamide 480 SC @ 0.25 ml lit⁻¹ (6.0 & 6.2%), spinosad 45 SC @ 0.2 ml lit⁻¹ (7.2 & 7.3%), emamectin benzoate 5 SG @ 0.25 g lit⁻¹ (8.5 & 8.7%), indoxacarb 14.5 SC @ 0.3 ml lit⁻¹ (9.3 & 9.5%), azadirachtin 10, 000 ppm @ 1 ml lit⁻¹ (17.8 & 18.0%) and NSKE 5% @ 50 g lit⁻¹ (22.7 & 22.7%) on number and weight basis, respectively. The pooled mean yield of both the years recorded that rynaxypyr 20 SC @ 0.4 ml lit⁻¹ produced 12.35 t ha⁻¹ fruits followed by flubendiamide 480 SC @ 0.25 ml lit⁻¹ (11.69 t ha⁻¹) against untreated control (6.75 t ha⁻¹).
