Among tested insecticide, thiamethoxam @ 0.0084% was found best for management of hopper and thrips which was statistically at par with imidacloprid @ 0.005%. The treatment thiamethoxam was recorded considerably maximum number of fruits and yield (230.89 fruits per tree and 6189 kg ha-1) which was statistically at par with imidacloprid and lambda-cyhalothrin @ 0.005%. While, maximum ICBR was logged in thiamethoxam @ 0.0084% (1:21.04) followed by imidacloprid @ 0.005% (1:19.52) treatments.
