abstract
Treatment, T₃ (Acetamiprid+ B. bassiana+ Spinosad+ Destruction of infested shoots and fruits)(1.51/ three leaves) and T₈ (dimethoate/ malathion) emerged as best sequences in reducing the leaf hopper population, these treatments were statistically at par. The treatments T₃, T₈ and T₄ resulted in low population of whitefly (1.85 to 2.20 whiteflies/ three leaves) which were most effective and at par with each other. The treatments T₂, T₄, T₆ and T₇ proved most effective against shoot and fruit borer and resulted in 1.38, 1.57, 2.69 and 2.91 percent shoot damage, respectively. The data on fruit damage exhibited that sequences T₂ and T₄ formed best effective group of treatments (2.26 to 2.64% fruit damage) and had non-significant difference among them. The maximum benefit cost ratio of 48.44 was obtained in the sequence T₈ followed by T₆ (29.02) and T₄ (27.76), while the minimum was in T₅ (1.27) followed by T₇ (1.47).
