Abstract

The present study was carried out at Agricultural research institute, Tarnab, Peshawar during 2011 to study the efficacy of different insecticides against Brinjal fruit borer. The insecticides tested were: spinosad, emamectin benzoate, chlorpyrifos, profenofos, fenvalerate and cypermethrin and were compared with a control. Results showed that emamectin benzoate was most effective against brinjal fruit borer and resulted in lower infestation (40.1%) followed by cypermethrin (40.43%), whereas fenvalerate offered moderate control (41.31%) of borers. The study recommended the use of emamectin benzoate for effective control of brinjal fruit borer.
