The present study was carried out to evaluate various management modules against major sucking pest of okra. The module M-III (azadirachtin 300 ppm, dimethoate 30 EC, thiamethoxam 25 WG, quinolphos 25 EC) and M-IV (neem seed kernel extract 5%, dimethoate 30 EC, thiamethoxam 25 WG, quinolphos 25 EC) was found effective against aphids as well as leafhopper for keeping down the pests population throughout the crop growth. The whitefly population in okra can be effectively manage by using the module M-IV (neem seed kernel extract 5%, dimethoate 30 EC, thiamethoxam 25 WG, quinolphos 25 EC was most effective) and module M-III (azadirachtin 300 ppm, dimethoate 30 EC, thiamethoxam 25 WG, quinolphos 25 EC) found most effective; however, these module does not differ statistically to each other. The modules M-IV(Neem seed kernel extract 5%, dimethoate 30 EC, thiamethoxam 25 WG, quinalphos 25 EC lit was found most effective management for suppressing spider mites and it does not differ statically than mites in module M-III. The management module M-III, azadirachtin 300 ppm, dimethoate 30 EC, thiamethoxam 25 WG, quinalphos 25 EC was the most effective module for shoot and fruit borer management recording significantly least fruit damage of 15.63 per cent followed by M-IV which resulted least fruit damage by 19.16 percent and which yielded higher marketable yield there modules were on par to each other.
