Abstract

Field experiment was conducted during 2013-14, on cabbage (Brassica oleracea), variety Pusa Mukta, for testing thirteen IPM modules against farmers' practices to identify suitable location specific module. The most productive IPM module was identified as combination of Beta-cyfluthrin, Azadirachtin and Dichlorovos with intercropping of Indian mustard incorporating pheromones traps, with lure (Z)-11-hexadecenal and (Z)-11-hexadecenyl acetate as well using other important IPM components for seed treatment to harvest which resulted in the highest yield (19.38 tonnes/ha) and net return (48 500 Ruppes/0.5 ha) in comparison to farmers' plot that delivered 16.93 tonnes/ha yield (42 346 Ruppes/0.5 ha ).
