Field experiment was conducted to determine the effectiveness of botanicals against red pumpkin beetle, Aulacophora foveicollis Lucas on cucumber in a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with 8 treatments and 3 replications during Summer, 2019 at Main Vegetable Research Station, Anand Agricultural University, Anand (Gujarat). Among botanicals evaluated against A. foveicollis on cucumber, the minimum beetle population was observed in the plot treated with azadirachtin 0.0006% and it was at par with NSKE 5% and neem oil 0.5%. Of the tested botanicals, maximum fruit yield was recorded from the plot treated with azadirachtin followed by NSKE and neem oil. The maximum ICBR was registered in the treatment of azadirachtin followed by NSKE and neem leaf extract.
