The experiment was conducted during kharif 2009 to evaluate the bioefficacy of malathion 50 EC, beta-cyfluthrin 9% + imidacloprid 21% 300 OD, acephate 75 SP, beta-cyfluthrin 2.5 SC, imidacloprid 200 SL, lambda-cyhalothrin 5% + thiamethoxam 5 WG, quinalphos 25 EC, triazophos 40 EC and endosulfan against shoot and fruit borer (Leucinodes orbonalis G.) on brinjal. The insecticides beta-cyfluthrin 9% + imidacloprid 21% 300 OD and beta-cyfluthrin were found very effective in reducing per cent damage fruits at 7, 14 and 21 days after spraying, malathion 50 EC and acephate 75 SP were both moderately effective and imidacloprid 200 SL was found least effective.
