Field experiments were conducted during 2018-19 and 2019-20 in moringa gardens at Usilampatti Block, Madurai District, Tamil Nadu with seven biopesticides viz., neem oil 3%, NSKE 5%, azadirachtin/ neemazal 3,000 ppm, pungam oil 3%, fish oil rosin soap 25 g/ l, Beauveria bassiana 108 CFU/ ml and Lecanicillium lecanii 106 CFU/ ml to evaluate their efficacy against tea mosquito bug Helopeltis spp. Among these, B. bassiana 108 CFU/ ml was found to be the most effective.
