Abstract

Spinosad, novaluron, neem oil, rynaxypyr, HaNPV and Bt were evaluated to reduce the fruit damage in tomato due to fruit borer (Helicoverpa armigera). Novaluron recorded the maximum benefit cost ratio (29.06) and hihest improved yield (65.22 q ha-1). Bt had a cost benefit ratio of 17.98, due to the lesser cost of plant protection.
