A field experiment was conducted during Rabi season of 2015-16 in Horticulture nursery, College of Agriculture, Indore to tested efficacy by using different doses of emamectin benzoate 3.7% + diafenthiuron 46.3% WP against chilli thrips. Among different treatments, T3 (Emamectin benzoate 3.7%+diafenthiuron 46.3%WP @ 250 g/ha) has proved as the best treatment for controlling thrips population and found superior over other treatment followed by T2 (Emamectin benzoate 3.7%+diafenthiuron 46.3%WP @ 200 g/ha). Highest green chilli yield of 171. 11 q/ha was registered in T3 (Emamectin benzoate 3.7%+diafenthiuron 46.3%WP @ 250 g/ha), which was statistically at par with T2 (Emamectin benzoate 3.7%+diafenthiuron 46.3%WP @ 200 g/ha) 166.29 q/ha. The highest cost-benefit ratio (1:4.40) and net profit (211626Rs.) was obtained in T3. No effect of phytotoxicity was noticed on the plant.
