Abstract

The present investigation was studied in Zaid season 2022 at student’s instructional farm, A.N.D. University of agriculture and Technology, Kumarganj, Ayodhya (U.P.). Intercropping of coriander with okra (1:1) was found maximum yield (41.80 q/ha), while the least (23.28 q/ha) was obtained in maize intercropped with okra (1:1). The maximum cost: benefit of 1:11.56 was obtained from Spinosad 45 SC 75 g a.i/ha treated plots. As results current study carried out the economic analysis of pest management modules.

Conclusion

Spinosad 45 SC 75 g a.i/ha gave maximum fruit yield (77.03 q/ha) followed by Abamectin 1.8 EC 25 g a.i/ha with (58.36 q/ha). The maximum cost: benefit was obtained in plot treated Spinosad 45 SC 75 g a.i/ha with (1:11.56) followed by Abamectin 1.8 EC 25 g a.i/ha (1:6.90). By the experiment conducted, in order to derive effective control against okra shoot and fruit borer, we can recommend cultural practices like intercropping with marigold at 1:1 ratio and among chemical practices, spraying with Spinosad 45 SC@75g a.i/ha can be carried out as it is cost effective and also can effectively control the pest, with good yield ultimately.
