Study was carried out to check the effectiveness of different novel insecticides and neem leaf extract against the fruit and shoot borer under field condition Tarnab, Peshawar during the year 2020. Experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with 6 treatments and 3 replications. Treatments contain Emamectin benzoate (Wel Star 1.9 EC), Cypermethrin (Win25% EW), Chlorpyrifos (Custom 40% EC), Thiamethoxam+ Chlorantraniliprole (Voliam flexi 300 SC) and neem leaf extract (5%). Results showed that the lowest percent infestation of shoot after 1^st and 2^nd spray was recorded in voliam flexi (38.38 and 11.58) while in term of percent fruit infestation similar data was observed (4.10 and 2.00) after 1^st and 2^nd spray. However, the highest cost benefit ratio was recorded in voliam flexi treated plot (1: 48.13) followed by chlorpyrifos (1: 40.88), emamectin benzoate (1: 36.65), cypermethrin (1: 31.25) while the lowest CB ratio was recorded in neem treated plot (1: 1.21). The results concluded that the best possible control was recorded voliam flexi and chlorpyrifos and recommended for the infestation of brinjal shoot and fruit borer.
