The present experiment was carried out to compare the efficacy against Leucinodes orbonalis and its effect on yield of Brinjal. The best and most economical treatment was Chlorantraniliprole @ 18.5 EC (1:10.2) which was on par with Emamectin benzoate @ 5 SG (1:9.8) followed by Carbosulfan 25 EC (1:7.3), Beauveria bassiana (1:6.4) Spinosad @45% SC (1:5.5), followed by Bacillus thuringiensis (1:5.2) and Neem oil (1:4.3) as compared to control (1:3.1). The data on the percent infestation of the shoot and fruit borer on brinjal 3^rd, 7^th, and 14^th day after the first spray reveal that all the chemical treatments were significantly superior over control. Chlorantraniliprole @ 18.5 EC (5.94) was par with Emamectin benzoate @5 SG (8.49) followed by Carbosulfan 25 EC (10.71), Beauveria bassiana (12.91) Spinosad @45% SC (13.13), followed by Bacillus thuringiensis (14.85) and, Neem oil (16.87). The yield among the treatment were significantly higher in Chlorantraniliprole @ 18.5 EC (207.50q/ha) followed by Emamectin benzoate @ 5 SG (183.83q/ha)
