Abstract

Tobacco extract, Volium flexci sc, Coragen, chili pepper and Chinaberry leaves extract were used for the treatment of tomato fruit borer Helicoverpa armigera at Malakander from The University Agriculture during 2021. Chemical insecticides and botanical extracts gave significant result in control of tomato fruit borer. However, lowest number of larval population per plant of tomato fruit worm was noted in plot treated with Coragin (24302kgha-1) followed by (22172kgha-1) while highest was observed in untreated plot. Highest yield was recorded in Coragin followed by (18333kgha-1) while lowest was recorded in untreated plot. Minimum percent fruit damage was recorded in Coragin (7.783%) while maximum fruit damage was recorded in untreated plot. (33.217%) Maximum CBR was also recorded in Coragin (1:9.60) treated plot, followed by Volium flexci sc (1:6.12) was recorded, while minimum was recorded in Chili Pepper (1:2.29). Based on high-cost benefit ratio for yield and less percent fruit damage, Coragin is most effective management of tomato fruit worms at the rest of other treatments.
