Okra is an important vegetable, and it is subject to heavy yield losses by insect pests, of which the shoot and fruit borer Earias spp. is serious. Insecticides are used against this pest, leading to insecticide residues. This study evaluates Milkoid, an LAB formulation spray in field by spraying in tandem with flubendiamide and bleaching powder (calcium hypochlorite). The results indicate that the population of epiphytic LAB density was maximum on plants sprayed with Milkoid with or without flubendiamide. The pest damage was significantly reduced after spraying flubendiamide with or without bleaching powder (3.76- 5.30%). Milkoid accelerated the degradation of flubendiamide with the dissipation rate of 70.07% on 15th day after spray. The efficacy of Milkoid in reducing the toxicity and the potential of calcium hypochlorite as an antimicrobial agent and the shoot and fruit borer management are discussed.
