Sweet during rabi season of 2018-19 at Central Experiment Station, Wakawali, Dist- Ratnagiri. During this experiment total six insecticides tested viz., Beauveria bassiana @ 5ml/lit, Lecanicillium lecanii @ 5ml/lit, Bacillus thuringiensis @ 2ml/lit, Azadirachtin 1000 ppm 0.003% @ 3ml/lit, Metarrhizium anisopliae @ 2.5ml/lit, Chloropyriphos 20 EC 0.06% @ 3ml/lit, respectively. The results regarding overall mean of two sprays against pod borer complex revealed that chlorpyriphos 20 EC @ 0.06 per cent was the best treatment which was recorded minimum (12.74%) mean pod infestation and was at par with Bacillus thuringiensis (14.03%).
