As regards the fruit damage, significantly maximum per cent reduction of fruit damage by H. armigera and T. absoluta was observed in Flubendiamide 20 WG @ 100 g/ha (66.31%) and Emamectin benzoate 5 SG @ 200 g/ha (71.39%), respectively. Rest of the insecticides treatment were also significantly superior in reduced fruit damage in the range of 64.25 - 49.69 and 68.20 -51.14 per cent by H. armigera and T. absoluta, respectively over untreated control. The highest marketable fruit yield of tomato was recorded in Flubendiamide 20 WG @ 100 g/ha (59.72 q/ha) and it was at par with Spinosad 45 SC @ 100 L/ha (57.14 q/ha). Rest of the insecticides treatment were also significantly harvested higher fruit yield in the range of 55.62 – 45.15 q/ha over untreated control (25.15 q/ha). The highest ICBR was recorded in Lambda cyhalothrin 5 EC @ 300 L/ha (1:12.99), followed by Indoxacarb 14.5 SC @ 200 L/ha (1:12.08), Profenophos 50 EC @ 1250 L/ha (1:10.48), Spinosad 45 SC @ 100 L/ha (1:7.05) and Emamectin benzoate 5 SG @ 200 g/ha (1:6.82).
