The experiment conducted on the management of whitefly and yellow vein mosaic virus in okra during summer 2012, revealed that significant reduction in whitefly population and yellow vein mosaic virus incidence and higher marketable yield of okra were recorded in all the treatments compared to untreated control. The seed treatment with Imidacloprid 600 FS @ 6 g/kg seed and roughing of infested plants at respective interval gave significantly higher protection against white fly, thereby reducing yellow vein mosaic virus incidence and provided highest marketable yield of okra. It was followed by spray of Imidacloprid 17.85 L at 200 ml/ha.
