Abstract
Brinjal, proudly referred as the “King of vegetables” extensively grown in India. Several insect pests, viz. fruit and shoot borer, spotted leaf beetle / Hadda beetle, ash weevil, bud worm, whitefly, green leafhopper, brown leafhopper, mealybug, thrips, lacewing bug and red spider mite are found to cause considerable yield loss in brinjal from different parts of the world. These pests can be well efficiently managed by advocating several integrated pest management strategies including, cultural, physical, mechanical, bio-control agents, bio-pesticides and chemical methods.
