The insecticide efficacy was tested against brinjal shoot and fruit borer, Leucinodes orbonalis (Guenee) under field condition where emamectin benzoate 2.8 EC @ 14g a.i./ha was found most effective against shoot and fruit infestation in brinjal followed by indoxacarb, spinosad, deltamethrin, cypermethrin, carbofuran and azadirectin. The shoot infestation reduction was noticed as 79.22 and 89.81per cent after first spray and 80.05 and 89.74 per cent after second spray at 7th and 14th day after spray (DAS) over the control. The fruit infestation reduction was noticed as 84.24 and 88.80 per cent after first spray and 83.78 and 89.30 per cent after second spray at 7th and 14th DAS over the control. The maximum increased yield was 17.82q/ha from emamectin benzoate treated plots and the maximum cost returned were 7.57 rupees after one rupee investment.
