The experiment was carried out in 4.0 ha with active participation of farmers with an objective to assess the integrated management module for the management of sucking pest in cotton. In IPM module, reduced the incidence of leafhopper and thrips with in the range of 1.90 to 4.83 leaf hoppers / 3 leaves and 6.3 to 11.8 thrips/ 3 leaves, respectively over farmer practice (6.33 leaf hoppers /3 leaves and 13.2 thrips/3 leaves, respectively). IPM module recorded 6.31 q/ha (C:B ratio of 1: 0.5) which is 9.56 per cent higher than that obtained in farmers practice (5.25 q/ha with C:B ratio of 1:0.4).
