Abstract: The field experiment was conducted to observe the Brinjal shoot and fruit borer (Leucinodes orbonalis Guene) Cost benefit analysis of different bio-pesticides use in Bundelkhand region at Organic Research Farm Kargua ji, Department of Entomology, Institute of Agricultural Sciences, Bundelkhand University, Jhansi (Uttar Pradesh) during kharif season of 2023. Result disclose that the all treatments were significantly superior over control. The economics effective bio-pesticides Bacillius thrungensis. 2.0 kg/ha, followed by Beauveria bassiana 2.0 lit/ha, NSKE 5%, Neem oil 5%, Metarizium anisoplae 1.5 lit/ha, Verticillium lecanii 2.0 kg/ha. The highest effective treatment Bacillius thrungensis (Bt.) highest net income was 98,350 Rs/ha^-1 with cost benefit ratio of 3.21 with yield 243.60 q/ha^-1. It can be concluded that maximum control of brinjal shoot and fruit borer, provided through the bio-pesticides followed by two sprays at recommended interval and doses of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt.) 2.0 kg/ha. The brinjal shoot and fruit borer was recorded as major insect pest of brinjal crop. Bacillus thuringiensis was significantly superior over all the bio-pesticides in reducing the BSFB infestation, producing significantly higher yield. Resulting in more net profit and higher cost benefit ratio.
