Vegetables are rapidly becoming an important source of income for rural population. At the same time, vegetable cultivation is becoming more costly due to the increasing use of purchased inputs, such as pesticides and fertilizers. Front line demonstrations in 20 villages were demonstrated for the management of brinjal shoot and fruit borer (Leucinodes orbonalis Guenee) Using eco-friendly IPM strategies and to create awareness among the farming community on brinjal shoot and fruit borer management during Rabi 2018-19 to 2020-21 in the farmer's fields of Banda district of Bundelkhand region. By adoption of eco-friendly IPM practices in all the three years, the shoot damage was reduced on an average by 4.60 per cent compared to 9.05 per cent in farmer's practice. The fruit damage on an average was also reduced by 18.83 per cent compared to 37.03 per cent in farmer's practice. The total moth trap catches per trap per season helped in reducing the pest load, damage and enabled in correct decision making in application of insecticides. This has resulted in a reduction in the average cost of cultivation by Rs. 22466.67 per hectare and the average net income was improved by Rs. 65283.33 per hectare compared to the farmer's practice. The average yield levels improved by 31.0 per cent (175.50 q/ha) compared to farmers practice (138.10 q/ha) and giving a clear message that adoption of IPM practices helps in improving the decision-making capacity and net income levels to the resource-poor farmers.
