All the treatments were found significantly superior over control in reducing the fruit borer incidence in ber. Whereas the treatments Profenophos 50 EC 0.05 % (18.33%), NSKE @ 5 % (20.95%) and Azadirachtin 3000 ppm (21.73%) found significantly superior over rest of the treatments in reducing the borer incidence. The healthy fruit yield data revealed that more or less treatment Profenophos 50 EC 0.05 % gave significantly higher yield and was remain at par with NSKE @ 5% and Azadirachtin 3000 ppm treatments during the year 2008-09 to 2012-13 except the year 2011-12. Similarly in pooled results treatment Profenophos 50 EC 0.05 % give significantly higher yield (41.55 kg/tree.) followed by treatments Azadirachtin 3000 ppm (35.99 kg/tree.) and NSKE @ 5 % (34.79 kg/tree.) Highest gross income of Rs. 115500/ha was recorded in the treatment Profenophos 50 EC 0.05 %. Highest net income of Rs. 96700/ha, additional income of Rs. 46850/ha and ICBR 1:2.49 was recorded in treatment Profenophos 50 EC 0.05% followed by treatment Azadirachtin3000 ppm @25 ml/ltr. (1:1.64).and NSKE @5%(1:1.52).
