Abstract

Seven organic products and an insecticide- emamectin benzoate 5SG (0.002%) were evaluated against the brinjal shoot and fruit borer Leucinodes orbonalis (Guenee) at the research farm, Palampur. The results among the organic products, Agniastra (5%), Brahmastra (5%) and cow urine (10%) were effective. Emamectin benzoate was superior to the organic products giving maximum yield of fruits and marketable fruits (43.97 and 42.57 q/ ha, respectively).
