Abstract

All the treatments gave effective control over untreated control. The percentage of fruit infestation on eggplant, in T4 = Bacillus thuringiensis 2.0 kg/ha, T1 = Beauveria bassiana 2.0 kg/ha, T3 = Neem oil 5%, T8 = Metarhizium anisopliae 1.5 lit/ha, T2 = NSKE 5%, T5 = Panchagavya 0.01%, T7 = Castor oil 5% and T6 = Garlic extract 5% was comparatively less than T9 = control T2. Treatments, T4 = Bacillus thuringiensis (1:2.60), was found to be the most effective and economic, followed by T1 (1:2.52), T3 (1:2.39), T8 (1:2.26), T2 (1:2.11), T5 (1:2.06), T7 (1:1.98) and T6 (1:1.96) as compared to control T9 (1:1.08).
