ABSTRACT
A field experiment on eco-friendly management of okra shoot and fruit borer by using bio-pesticides and botanicals was conducted at College of Agriculture, Dapoli. The mean of three sprays revealed that the treatments B.thuringiensis var.kurstaki @ 1.5 g L-1 , NSKE 5 per cent, Neemazal ( 1%) @ 4ml L-1 and B. bassiana @ 5 g L-1 recorded 16.77, 18.97, 19.47 and 19.90 per cent fruit infestation, respectively and were at par with each other. Data recorded on yield indicated that the treatments B.thuringiensis var. kurstaki (31.11 q/ha), Neemazal 4 ml L-1 (30.54 q/ha) and NSKE 5 per cent (30.45 q/ha) recorded 31.11, 30.54 and 30.45 q/ha yield and were at par with each other.
