Studies on the integration of eleven genotypes were evaluated with Nomuraea rileyi, neem seed kernal extract (NSKE) quinalphos spray for the management of Spodoptera litura. Quinalphos spray on variety Dh-53 gave highest yield and also reduced larval population and leaflet damage as compared to N. rileyi and NSKE. Quinalphos spray and varietal resistance indicated that significantly lower population and leaf let damage but significantly higher yield with variety Dh-53. Whereas, N. rileyi and NSKE were next best in getting higher yield (14.04 and 13.83 q/ha) with lesser leaflet damage as compared to control.
