Field experiment was conducted to evaluate eight integrated pest management (IPM) modules to control insect vector white fly which transmits the YVMV disease in okra. The IPM module i.e, seed treatment with Imidacloprid 600 FS @ 5ml/kg of seed, installation of yellow sticky trap @ 50/ha and spraying of Acetamiprid 20 SP @ 0.3 gm/lit. of water was found most effective among all other modules to control YVMV disease, white fly population and okra leaf hopper. A maximum increase in yield and highest cost:benefit ratio were also achieved with the same module.
