Abstract
In the present study an indigenous biopesticide formulation (BPF) comprising easily accessible botanicals along with cow urine, was evaluated for its effi cacy against insect pests of tomato crop under fi eld. BPF gave promising results in controlling tomato fruit borers and afforded substantial yield of the produce. The BPF treatment could control 70–80% of fruit borers compared to check plots, resulting in enhanced fruit yield of 35 tons ha -1 as compared to 15 tons ha -1 in the check plots. The main aim of this study was to reduce the load of synthetic chemical pesticides and evaluate indigenous knowledge as an alternative component of pest management to have pesticide residue-free tomato.
