The purpose of this study was to measure the effect of chemicals against Okra fruit borer. The use of chemicals against Okra fruit borer was studied in Nuclear Institute for Food and Agriculture (NIFA) Tarnab, Peshawar 2009. The plots were randomly selected for treatments. The chemicals used against Okra fruit borer were Nucleo Polyhydrosis virus (NPV), Peskil and Neem Seed Water Extract (NSWE). Among these Nucleo Polyhydrosis Virus (NPV) showed highly significant results against Okra fruit borer followed by Peskil and NSWE. It can be concluded that Nucleo Polyhydrosis Virus (NPV), Peskil and aqueous extracts of NSWE all have shown synergetic effect along the resistant Okra cultivars against Okra fruit borer and greatly increase the Okra yield parameters. Application of Nucleo Polyhydrosis Virus (NPV), Peskil and aqueous extracts of NSWE alongside sowing resistant Okra cultivars would give a more effective management of Okra fruit borer and higher yields of Okra fruit. Okra (Hibiscus esculentus L.) Commonly known as bhindi or lady's finger belong to family Malvaceae. This genus of okra contains more than 140 species [1,2]. In Pakistan okra is grown in summer the area under cultivation is 232.05 hectares with the production of 303.16 tons per year [3]. Okra as a human food contains protein, vitamins, carbohydrate, fat, calcium, potassium and other mineral matters which are often lacking in the diet of developing countries.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
