- Abstract
Brinjal (Solanum melongena L.) is an important vegetable crop, and its yield and marketable quality are severely affected by the brinjal shoot and fruit borer (Leucinodes orbonalis Guenee). The management of L. orbonalis requires exploring new insecticides, and in the present study some insecticides were evaluated during 2015-16 and 2016-17. The results revealed that spinosad 45SC @ 0.5 ml/ l was the best with least shoot (2.03 and 2.0%) and fruit damage (12.66 and 10.62%) with maximum yield (25.39 and 26.99 t/ ha). Chlorantraniliprole 20SC @ 0.4 ml/ l and emamectin benzoate 5SG @ 0.5 g/ l were the next best during 2015-16 and 2016-17, respectively. Thus, spinosad 45SC @ 0.5 ml/ l, chlorantraniliprole 20SC @ 0.4 ml/ l and emamectin benzoate 5SG @ 0.5 g/ l can be recommended as sole application or in rotation for effective management of brinjal shoot and fruit borer.
