Abstract
Field evaluation was carried out in farmers’ field at Lality Chapari, Jorhat, Assam, during the year 2022 and 2023 in rabi season. Sucking pests, A. gossypii and B. tabaci population was significantly reduced in both BIPM and chemical control plots as compared to control. The tomato fruit borer damage was lower and yield was higher in chemical control than BIPM plots. The fruit borer damage was reduced to 72.29% in BIPM Plot and 80.13% in chemical treated plots. There was no significant difference in between the yield of BIPM (67.03 q ha-1) and chemical treated plots (7,050 kg ha-1). Coccinellids populations were significantly higher in BIPM plots. B:C ratio was 1:2.73 and 1:2.62 in BIPM and chemical control, respectively.
