Abstract: An experiment entitled “Efficacy of different insecticides against pest complex of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L. Moench) by sequential strategy” was conducted at the All India Co-ordinated Research Project on Vegetable Crops, Department of Horticulture, Mahatma Phule Krishi Vidyapeeth, Rahuri, Dist: Ahmednagar (Maharashtra) during summer 2022. During the course of study, six sequential strategies were evaluated against sucking pest complex of okra. The results showed that treatment with spraying of Lecanicillium lecanii @ 5 g/l followed by thiamethoxam 25 SG @ 0.25 g/l followed by pongamia oil 1% @ 10ml/l was found to be most effective and recorded least average survived population of aphids, leaf hoppers, whitefly and mites.
