Abstract
Sucking pests like white ly, aphid, thrips, and lea hopper pose a serious threat to cotton crop, affecting yield and quality.Implementing integrated pest management strategies, which involve the use of biopesticides is essential for successful control.The present experiment was conducted to evaluate the ef icacy of different biopesticides and their combinations against sucking insect pests in Bt cotton at Khalsa College, Amritsar, Punjab during kharif 2022.Considering the Economic Threshold Level (ETL) of pests, four sprays were given at interval of 10 days.The data obtained revealed that a combination of neem oil and Verticillium lecanii showed a maximum reduction in population of sucking pests viz.white ly (64.88%), aphid (70.59%), thrips (54.23%) and lea hopper (62.73%) at seven days after the end of last spray.The present study highlights the signi icance of microbial biopesticides in promoting eco-friendly and sustainable pest management.
