Lady’s finger Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench is an annual kharif vegetable crop belongs to the family Malvaceae. This crop is cultivated in various parts of tropical and sub-tropical areas of the world. In West Bengal, India it is cultivated in a commercial scale but its pest complex is very high which limit its production. Contribution jassid (Amrasca devastans) and thrips (Thrips palmi) as sucking pest in this case is of great importance. Three doses of dinotefuron 20 SG (@ 20, 30 and 40 a.i. g /ha) two doses of imidacloprid 70 WG(@ 21 and 24.5 a.i. g /ha) and two doses of fipronil 5% SC ( @ 25 and 37.5 a.i. g /ha) were applied to control jassid and thrips. From overall observation it was revealed that Dinotefuron 20 SG @ 40 g a.i./ha, Fipronil 5% SC @ 37.5 g a.i./ha and imidacloprod 70 WG @ 24.5 g a.i/ha provided best suppression of jassid (90.29 %, 89.34 % and 78.42 % jassid population suppression respectively) and thrips (96.55 %, 96.01 % and 85.37 % thrips population suppression respectively). They are also safe insecticides to cocconellid predators. These insecticides may be recommended for farmers use to control sucking pest.
