Field trials were carried out during rabi season of 2016–2017 and 2017–2018 to evaluate the efficacy of pest management modules against brinjal shoot and fruit borer. The result on efficacy of modules revealed that minimum shoot and fruit borer damage was (9.3 & 14.8%, respectively) observed in module having shoot clipping with alternate spraying of multineem 1500 ppm, triazophos 35% plus deltamethrin 1%. was most effective with highest yield (210.5 q/ha) and cost benefit ratio (8.38) was also recorded in the same module. Minimum shoot and fruit damage was recorded in 3rd week of December.
