Field trials were conducted to evaluate the efficiency of different IPM treatments (Trichogramma chilonis, Dolichogenidea stantoni, Nomuraea rileyi, Beauveria bassiana, Metarhizium anisopliae and Bacillus thuringiensis subspecies kurstaki) for the management melon borer, Diaphania indica in bittergourd. Among the different treatments evaluated, T7 (Bacillus thuringiensis/ Dipel) and T3 (T. chilonis + D. stantoni) were more effective; T2 (D. stantoni), T4 (N. rileyi) and T5 (B. bassiana) also gave good control over the D. indica population when compared to other treatments and control.
