Abstract
The present investigations were conducted to find out the net profit, avoidable losses and cost benefit ratio of different insecticides against the brinjaI shoot and fruit borer, Leucinodes orbonalis Guen. on brinjal. The minimum percent avoidable losses were recorded in cypermethrin and maximum in untreated control plots. Maximum fruit yield was recorded by treatment cypermethrin (108.64q/ha in 2015 & 102.42q/ha in 2016) which was followed by fenvalerate (92.17q/ha in 2015 & 93.56q/ha in 2016) and lowest in control (61.73q/ha in 2015 & 66.11q/ha in 2016). A gain of 46.91q/ha. in 2015 and 36.31q/ha in 2016 were observed with the treatment cypermethrin over the control and obtained the maximum net profit of Rs.25065.70/ha (in 2015) and Rs. 19235.70/ha(in 2016). As regards to the economics of the treatments, cypermethrin was the most economic treatment recorded in cost benefit ratio of 1:34.1 in 2015 and 1:26.18 in 2016. On the basis of cost benefit ratio, the treatments could be arranged in the following descending order of cost effectiveness i.e. cypermethrin > fenvalerate > acephate > achook > carbofuran.
