The results revealed that two applications of Acephate @ 1.5 g/lit. at three weeks interval was the most effective against aphid, jassid and whiteflies in Brinjal. However, two application of Neem oil @ 10 ml/lit, at three weeks interval was found at par not only to Acephate at two doses of 0.5 at 1.0 g/lit. of water but also to the standard checks Endosulfan 35% EC and Malathion 50% EC in reduction the population of sucking insect pests in Brinjal. The Neem oil @ 10 ml./lit. also yielded significantly higher to that of Malathion 50% EC @ 1 ml/lit. Endosulfan 35% EC @ 2 ml/lit, and Acephate at 0.5 g/lit.
