The study revealed that among all treatments,spinosad 45% SC (0.0125%) were showing more mortality in thrips (53.33%), whitefly (55.55%) and mealy bugs (48.88%) followed by NSKE (5%) thrips (43.33%), whitefly (45.55%) and mealy bugs (42.22%). Azadirachtin 10000 ppm (0.02%) at 48 hours after treatment showed more percent mortality in thrips (40.83%), whitefly (41.11%) and mealy bugs (39.99%) respectively.
