Abstract
Okra is the most valuable economic and high valued crop, which is inherently carry the biotic fauna as notorious pests that drastically reduces the yield of okra. Chemicals creates resistance, resurgence in insects and residues in fruits cause various cryptic health hazard to humans. Hence, right choice to combat these all problems is the biorationals for management of okra pests. Biorationals are naturally occurring organic contaminants that are used to manage a wide range of agricultural pests that infest okra plants. These biorationals like entomopathogenic fungi viz., B. bassiana and V. lecanii naturally develop and continuously attacking the okra borers and sucking pests. Biorational application of nitrogenous fertilizers crunches the leafhopper population down. Plant products viz., azadirachtin, neem oil, Karanja oil, application at the initiation of the pest infestation prove immense in deterring pests from its host plant. B. thuringiensis, P. fluorescens, HaNPV, SNPV are the prime biorationals for the management of okra borers. Biorationals not only manage the pests at a time on the crop but many of them increase themselves in the nature and constantly attack on the harmful insect pests in the field and helps the consumer with safe food.
