Abstract: The present On Farm Trail was conducted during kharif 2019 at eight farmers field of Madhepura district under supervision of Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Madhepura, BAU, Sabour (Bhagalpur) to asses the efficacy of bio-pesticides against shoot and fruit borer, Earias vittella (F.) on okra. All the treatments were found to be superior over the untreated control. The results revealed that two sprays of Emectin benzoate 5 SG @ 1 gm/5 liter water was found to be most effective in managing the fruit borer infestation on okra followed by Spinosad 45 SC @1ml/5 L.
Finally, concluded that Emectin benzoate 5SG @ 1g/ 5liter of water could be a better alternative for sustainable management of shoot and fruit borer in okra. Farmers may be advised to use this insecticide for the effective management of fruit borer of okra (E. vittella) and for better yield.
