Efficacy of IPM Modules against Tomato Leaf Miner, Liriomyza trifolii (Burgess)

The experiment was conducted to find out relative efficacy of different integrated pest management modules comprised of alternate spray of chemical pesticides, biopesticides and botanicals against tomato leaf miner. Though the results have indicated superiority of one of the insecticidal module in reduction of larval population of leaf miner, Liriomyza trifolii Burgess, the IPM module composed of alternate spray of Lamda cyhalothrin 5EC (0.005%), B. bassiana 1.25 kg ha⁻¹, Abamec tin1.9 EC (0.0009%) and Azadirachtin 1500 ppm-2 ml l⁻¹ was at par with insecticidal module. Also the other insecticidal module, module and module recorded nearly same larval population per leaf and were comparable with module.
