Field experiment was conducted to evaluate bio-intensive IPM module in okra during kharif season of 2010-11. The experiment was conducted in Randomised Block Design with five insecticidal treatments replicated four times. The variety ‘Parbhani Kranti’ was used for experimental purpose. The experiment was conducted at Bihar Agricultural College Farm sabour with plot size 4 x3 m2 with spacing 50 x 50 cm. The different modules under study were chemical module, bio-intensive module, integrated module and Farmer’s practice. The modules treatment differed significantly and found to be superior over control. Among the modules under test, chemical module has resulted in significantly lowest population of jassids (2.99 per 3 leaves). But in respect of borer damage, integrated module had lowest shoot and fruit damage of 3.90% and 4.85%, respectively with highest yield of 91.37 q/ha. The yield in chemical module was at par with integrated module recording 89.47 q/ha.
