The investigation was conducted with 8 Treatments:- Dimethoate 30 EC @ 0.03 per cent, Abamectin 1.8 EC @ 0.003 per cent, Spinosad 45 SC @ 0.03 per cent, Acetamiprid 20 SP @ 0.04 per cent, Imidacloprid 17.8 SL @ 0.005 per cent,Neem oil 2 per cent, NSKE 5 per cent and control (water spray) on citrus leaf minor. Such treatments were arranged in statistical design RBD with three replications. In overall, cumulative effect of 3 applications of all the treatments T5 Abamectin 1.8 EC (0.003%) recorded lowest (7.66%) leaves infestation of leaf minor and found at par with T2 Spinosad 45 SC (0.03%) i.e.8.42 per cent leaf infested. The next best effective treatments, T4 Acetamiprid 20 SP (0.04%), T3 Imidacloprid 17.8 SL (0.005%), T1 Dimethoate 30 per cent (0.03%), T6 Neem oil (2%) and T7 NSKE (5%) with infestesion of 9.37 per cent, 10.46 per cent,13.08 per cent, 14.63 per cent and 15.21 per cent, respectively and these treatments groups were at par with each other. Maximum infestation of leaf minor was noticed in control (water spray) is 24.75 per cent.

Such treatments were arranged in statistical design RBD with three replications. In overall, cumulative effect of 3 applications of all the treatments T5 Abamectin 1.8 EC (0.003%) recorded lowest (7.66%) leaves infestation of leaf minor and found at par with T2 Spinosad 45 SC (0.03%) i.e.8.42 per cent leaf infested. The next best effective treatments, T4 Acetamiprid 20 SP (0.04%), T3 Imidacloprid 17.8 SL (0.005%), T1 Dimethoate 30 per cent (0.03%), T6 Neem oil (2%) and T7 NSKE (5%) with infestesion of 9.37 per cent, 10.46 per cent,13.08 per cent, 14.63 per cent and 15.21 per cent, respectively and these treatments groups were at par with each other.
