Studies on integrated pest management of tuberose showed that, the mean population of mealybug/ plant in IPM plot (43.59±31.63) was less compared to that of non-IPM plot (49.58±34.39) and control plot (79.48±48.45) number per plant. Significantly less mean larval population of H. armigera was recorded in IPM plot (0.46±0.67) followed by non-IPM plot (0.60±0.84) and control (0.96±1.25). The lowest mean population of red spider mite was observed in IPM (3.36±2.45) compared to non-IPM (5.09±3.54) and control (6.54±4.33). Highest number of natural enemies were recorded in IPM plot (12.29±7.48/ plant) followed by control (8.58±5.23) and non-IPM (3.38±2.39).
