Chilli is an economically important and widely cultivated crop of India. Chilli leaf curl disease complex is one of the major limiting factors in chilli production which is drastically decrease yield. The crop grown in Jharkhand usually suffers seriously from this disease. A field experiment on integration of insecticides as soil application with one and/or two sprayings each of other insecticides viz. Imidacloprid 17.8% SL @ 0.003%, Spinosad 45 % SC@160 ml/ha and neem products viz., Neem Seed Kernel extract (NSKE 5%) @ 5ml/ litre and Neem oil 0.03 % @5ml/litre was carried out during Rabi 2015-16 cropping season. Integration of soil application of Carbofuran 3G @ 30 Kg/ha plus two sprays of Imidacloprid 17.8% SL@ 0.003% recorded minimum disease incidence (12.58%), highest green fruit yield of 101.56 q/ha and maximum disease reduction (61.12%) and considerably enhanced plant vigour and green fruit yield of chilli. Maximum disease incidence (32.35%) was observed in control with lowest yield of 57.56 q/ha. Highest cost-benefit ratio of 1:3.60 was obtained by soil application of Carbofuran 3G @ 30Kg/ha plus two sprays with Imidacloprid 17.8% SL @ 0.003%. Chilli leaf disease complex adversely affected yield attributing characters during Rabi cropping season.
