Abstract
The purpose of the five-location study was to assess the effectiveness of an ecological IPM strategy, emphasizing the use of pheromone traps for managing fruit borer and brinjal shoot (Leucinod es orbonalis Guenee), and to raise awareness among the farming community on managing shoot borer and brinjal fruit in the fields of Sant Kabir Nagar, Uttar Pradesh, during Rabi, 2023-2024. The farmers received IPM training, and certain IPM models have already been proposed. The farmers' increased usage of pesticides following the IPM training, however, indicated that the training's effects were mixed. Apart from the detrimental impacts on the environment and human health, the use of pesticides raises production costs, making brinjal prohibitively expensive for low-income consumers. For example, in the Philippines, brinjal placed first when compared to tomatoes (31%) and cabbage (49%) in terms of the percentage of pesticide costs to total material input costs, at 55%, while in Bangladesh. The average reduction in shoot damage was 3.14 percent, as opposed to 9.26 percent in farmers' practices. Additionally, the average amount of fruit damage was decreased by 15.3% as opposed to 34.2% in farmers' practices. In comparison to farmers' practices, the average net revenue increased by Rs. 88038 per hectare and the average cost of cultivation decreased by Rs. 19687.00 per hectare. The average yield levels increased by 15.36% as compared to farmers' practices (42.74 qt/ha), thus demonstrating how using IPM techniques with a focus on pheromone traps reduced insect levels, damage, and increased yield. enhancing the ability of resource-poor farmers to make decisions and their net income levels.
