The comparative efficacy of various modules was tested against the larvae of diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (Linn.) and the best module which showed reduced larval population and also gave maximum yield was the application of endosulfan 1.25 liter/ha + beta-cyfluthrin 750 ml/ha + azadirachtin 2.0 liter/ha followed by B.t.k. 1.25 kg/ha + diflubenzuron 200 g/ha + endosulfan 1.25 liter/ha. Application of diflubenzuron 200 g/ha + spinosad 15 g a.i./ha + azadirachtin 2.00 liter/ha was found least effective with minimum reduction in the larval population.
