Abstract:
Brinjal fruit and shoot borer (BFSB) is the major biotic threat for brinjal cultivation throughout the globe. It has the potentiality to cause 100% yield loss of brinjal crop if proper management strategies are not taken. The larva is the only damaging stage can cause shoot and fruit damage. Keeping in mind, here the present experiment was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of different concentrations of Chlorpyriphos, a good organophosphate insecticide against this notorious insect pest. From this experiment it is suggested that Chlorpyrifos 20% EC (Megaban) @ 1000 ml/ ha could be recommended to control Brinjal fruit and shoot borer.
