Abstract: The present experiment was carried out on efficacy of microbial and botanical pesticides against aphid (Rhopalosiphum padi L.) and conducted during Rabi season of 2019-20 on Oat crop at the field of All India Coordinated Research Project on Forage Crops and Utilization at MPKV, Rahuri Dist-Ahmednagar, Maharashtra. Oats crops are heavily attacked by aphid. Three entomopathogenic fungi were tested for their efficacy at different concentrations and compared with neem based biopesticide, with a view to find out most effective treatment (s) against oat aphid. Among the biopesticide and their different concentration the treatment of Lecanicillium lecanii fb L. lecanii 2x108 cfu/gm @5gm/lit gave effective aphid control. Whereas L. lecanii fb M. anisopliae 2x108 cfu/gm @5gm/lit and M. anisopilae fb M. anisopilae 2x108 cfu/gm @5gm/lit next proved to be effective in controlling aphids.
