Three insecticides i.e. Endosulfan (0.05%), Cypermethrin (0.05%) and Malathion (0.05%) were sprayed against the infestation of shoot and fruit borer to evaluate suitable control measure against the pest to get the higher yield. The minimum (21.5%) infestation was observed with Endosulfan followed by Cypermethrin (24.13%) and Malathion (25.17%). Total yield of healthy brinjal fruits was higher (350q/h) with Endosulfan treated plants and lowest (112.5q/h) with control. High profit was obtained from Endosulfan (0.07%) applied schedule followed by Cypermethrin (0.05%) for each rupee.
