Effects of Manually Processed Bio-pesticides on Crop Production and Pest Managements in Okra (Abelmoschus Esculentus (L.) Moench)

Abstract

Efficiency of different botanical extracts were tested to find out optimal concentration of extracts along with the production rate. Botanical extracts were, Neem leaf extracts (3ml/l,5ml/l & 7ml/l),Garlic bulb extracts (5ml/l,10ml/l & 15 ml/L) & Papaya leaves extracts ((5ml/l,10ml/l & 15 ml/L), among them, the production of fruit only compromised while treating with papaya leaves extracts, while Neem leaves extracts and Garlic bulb extracts were outstanding. Higher concentrations of biopesticides were effective rather than the lower concentrations to inhibit the pests. In all cases, Neem leaf extracts were outstanding in production manner as well as pest management systems.
