“…the compound was used at the rate of 300-500 and was tested for its efficacy in Sri Lanka. However, the synthetic product was inferior and less effective to live virgin female moths [23]. But, the high number of male moths were trapped by the combination of (E)-11-hexadecenyl acetate and (E)-11hexadecen-1-ol and significantly reduced the pest damage in India and Bangladesh [8,11,17,24].…”

Philippines, Cambodia, and Laos. It holds ample significance as a vegetable crop in Terai and Mid-hill of Nepal since it can be grown in variety of soil and can be cultivated throughout the year. Generally, it is grown in Terai and Mid-Hill region during Bhadra-Asoj (August-September) and Magh-Falgun (February-March) respectively. Brinjal is a Kharif season crop in Nepal and mostly thrives best during long summer season with optimum temperature of 20°C-30°C for growth and fruit development. In Nepal, Brinjal cultivation is still non-commercial in most parts of the nation and further research on its pests and pathogens are yet to be carried out. Several insects like Fruit and Shoot Borer, White fly, Leaf hopper, Thrips, Mites, Leaf Roller, Red Spider Mite etc. are found to cause loss in Brinjal in different parts of the world. The key pest of Brinjal; Brinjal Fruit and Shoot Borer (Leucinodes orbonalis) are responsible for causing huge damage to the growth and development of stems, young sprouts, buds and fruits as well. This insect can also attack other vegetables of solanaceae family (alternate host) and results in severe losses. Larvae bore inside the fruit and reduce its yield up to 70%-75% [1-3]. This larva of this insect has unique nature of feeding on monophagous diet aided by homing and tunneling behavior which ultimately enables the adult Introduction Pertinent data were collected with consultation of journal articles, research articles, proceedings, annual reports, thesis, review reports, survey reports, library books etc. covering the insect biol

“…They synthesized this chemical in the laboratory and used at the rate of 300-500 µg per trap to attract the EFSB males in the field. Attygalle et al (1988) and Gunawardena et al (1989) also identified the presence of this compound from the sex pheromone glands of EFSB in Sri Lanka. In addition, they have also identified trace quantities of (E)-11-hexadecen-1-ol (E11-16:OH).…”

“…E11-16:Ac was synthesized in the laboratory and tested for its attraction in Sri Lanka. Although it attracted male moths in the laboratory, its performance under field conditions was inferior to live virgin female moths (Gunawardena, 1992;Gunawardena et al, 1989). However, E11-16:Ac when used alone or in combination with E11-16:OH attracted significantly high numbers of male moths in India and Bangladesh, although E11-16:OH alone showed no attraction at any concentration (AVRDC, 1996;Srinivasan and Babu, 2000).…”

The integrated pest management (IPM) strategy for the control of eggplant fruit and shoot borer (EFSB) consists of resistant cultivars, sex pheromone, cultural, mechanical and biological control methods. Eggplant accessions EG058, BL009, ISD006 and a commercial hybrid, Turbo possess appreciable levels of resistance to EFSB. Use of EFSB sex pheromone traps based on (E)-11-hexadecenyl acetate and (E)-11-hexadecen-1-ol to continuously trap the adult males significantly reduced the pest damage on eggplant in South Asia. In addition, prompt destruction of pest damaged eggplant shoots and fruits at regular intervals, and withholding of pesticide use to allow proliferation of local natural enemies especially the parasitoid, Trathala flavo-orbitalis reduced the EFSB population. The IPM strategy was implemented in farmers’ fields via pilot project demonstrations in selected areas of Bangladesh and India and its use was promoted in both countries. The profit margins and production area significantly increased whereas pesticide use and labor requirement decreased for those farmers who adopted this IPM technology. The efforts to expand the EFSB IPM technology to other regions of South and Southeast Asia are underway.

Eggplant (Solanum melongena Linnaeus) is one of the most economically important vegetable of tropics having hot-wet climate. The key pest, eggplant fruit and shoot borer, Leucinodes orbonalis Guenee found to be most destructive and first ranked threat especially in South Asia, hence become hot issue for research in this region. It inflicts sizeable damage up to 80 percent in terms of fruit and content of vitamin-C. This situation refrained the farmers growing eggplant, hence relevant literatures were gleaned and overviews regarding biology and management of borer with supportive facts and figure for safe and healthy eggplant production. As integrated approaches of pest management have been gaining popularity nowadays, this article outlines all the components of IPM including use of resistant varieties, sex pheromones, cultural methods, physical and mechanical barriers, bio-pesticides and bio-control agents, botanical and chemical means of management including basic biological parameters associated with management.
