Abstract:
Field experiment was studied on the efficacy of botanicals and biopesticides against shoot and fruit borer. Among all the treatments for the various parameters varied significantly different from each other viz., shoot infestation (1.69%), Fruit infestation on number basis (1.91), Fruit infestation per cent on weight basis (4.33%), Marketable yield (135.66kgha^-1). However, the chronological order of biopesticides based on maximum per cent shoot infestations and reduction over control were (NSKE +Tobacco leaf extract) T₇ >T₄ (Tobacco leaf extract).The minimum shoot infestation per cent were Bacillus thuringiensis T₃ < T₁ Metarrhizium anisoplae. The per cent age fruit infestation number basis (after) spray were (NSKE +Tobacco leaf extract) T₇ >T₅ (Tobacco leaf extract + Garlic extract). Infestation weight basis (after) spray were (Tobacco leaf extract + Garlic extract) T₅ >T₃ Bacillus thuringiensis. The present study can be formulate the integrated pest management strategies based on agro- ecosystem of Bundelkhand region.
