This study developed and evaluated Integrated Pest Management (IPM) modules for managing cabbage aphid population in mustard. Nine IPM modules were developed and evaluated for their efficacy against cabbage aphid. Field experiments revealed that the IPM module M7 followed by M5 significantly reduced aphid populations by 64.45 and 62.93% and increased mustard yield by 48.82 and 43.96%. The economic analysis showed a significant cost-benefit ratio in favor of all the IPM modules. Where the IPM module M6 had a highest cost-benefit ratio of 2.88 compared to all the other modules.
