Brinjal (Solanum melongena L.) belongs to family Solanacae is a very important vegetable, cultivated in many countries including Pakistan. The several insect pests are attacking the different parts of brinjal but brinjal shoot and fruit borer (BSFB), Leucinodes orbonalis G. is the major pest. The current study was carried out on spring sown crop during 2018, from 15 April – 30 September. The aim of study was to checked the effect of cultural (infested shoot removal) and mechanical practices (light trap) on Leucinodes orbonalis G infestation on brinjal fruit. The brinjal variety, Nirala was obtained were obtained from Ayyub Agriculture Research Institute. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four treatments each repeated three times. The treatments were T1= removal of infested shoots, T2= use of light trap, T3= removal of infested shoots+ use of light traps and T4= Control (no management practice). Seeds were sown in earthen pots on March 2018 for nursery growth. Seedlings were transplanted by hand on ridges 1.0 m apart in a plot of 0.202 ha (1/2 acre). The lanterns were hung 139.3 cm high over a metal tray of 36.6 cm and 18.3 cm diameter and depth, respectively. Data was recorded once in a week from twenty randomly selected plants. The study is resulted that cultural and mechanical control or treatments gave best control and reduce the pest infestation. The pest population was highest in control treatment than other three treatments.
