ABSTRACT
The present study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of several management approaches against sucking pests of brinjal during 2013-14 at Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI), Gazipur. Bioneem plus 1EC (Azadirachtin) + white & yellow sticky traps treated plots showed significantly lowest whitefly (4.03/five leaves) and thrips (6.02/ five leaves) population although this was statistically at par with Fytomax 3EC (Azadirachtin) + white & yellow sticky traps and white & yellow sticky traps + Fytoclean (Potassium salt of fatty acid) treated plots. Actara 25WG (Thiamethoxam) + white & yellow sticky traps treated plots although provided lowest population of aphid (2.04/five leaves) and jassid (4.21/five leaves), but induced spider mite resurgence providing highest (38.02/leaf) and nearly 4 times higher mite population than the untreated control plots. However, spraying Bioneem plus 1EC along with installation of white and yellow sticky traps appeared as the best approach providing highest yield (18.32 t/ha) and Marginal Benefit-Cost Ratio (3.06).
Keywords: Brinjal, sucking pests, management approaches, mite resurgence.
