Abstract

Field experiments were conducted to evaluate the efficacy of microbial agents, and neem based and biorational insecticides against major lepidopteran pests of okra, viz., shoot and fruit borer Earias vitella (F) and leaf roller Haritalodes derogata (F) during summer and kharif 2022. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design (RBD) with nine treatments and three replications. Results indicated that spinosad 45SC was the most effective with highest marketable yield. Thus, spinosad 45SC can be used for the effective management of E. vitella and H. derogate in okra.
