Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted to investigate the efficacy of some IPM modules against diamond back moth, (DBM) P. xylostella in cauliflower. The module (M1) that comprised pheromone trap, application of B. thuringiensis and neem based insecticides, recorded significantly lower DBM population and higher yield as compared to other two modules comprising botanicals and chemicals.
