Two year On Farm Trial (OFT) was conducted in 27 locations holding of Chorgarhi and Jhalwar village of District Sidhi in Madhya Pradesh during kharif, 2012-13 and 2013-14. In order to assess the efficacy of four different integrated management modules for the management of leaf curl disease of Chilli. The experimental findings revealed that all the management modules were found superior over farmer’s practice. The module T4 having Seed treatment with thiomethxam-70WS @ 5 g/ kg seed +seedling treatment with imidachloprid-17.8SL @ 3.0ml/10 lit. for 30 min + two weeding + two sprays of neem oil @1% at 30 and 60 DAT + imidachloprid-17.8SL @ 125ml/ha at 45 DAT + thiomethaxam @ 100 g/ha at 75 DAT was found most effective in reducing disease incidence about 86 % as well as total number of insect-vector/ plant (94.44 to 96.36 %) and similarly increases green chilli yield (47.81 to 53.76 q/ha) and cost benefit ratio (5.91:1 to 5.92:1) over control followed by module T3 (Seed treatment with imidacloprid-70WS @ 10g/kg + one spray of neem oil @ 1% at 30 DAT + two spray of imidacloprid-17.8 SL @ 125 ml/ha at 45 and 60 DAT.) and T2 (Seed treatment with Raw Cow’s Milk (RCM) for 24 hours in 1:1 ratio (i.e. RCM diluted to 50% by adding water) + dipping of seedlings in 15% RCM for 20 minutes + two sprays of 15% RCM at 30 and 60 DAT one spray of dimethoate -30EC@ 1.0 lit./ha at 45 DAT). Thus, on the basis of the data, it is concluded that module T4 and T3 may be considered for improved sustainable management of leaf curl disease of chilli.
