Field trials were carried out for three years (2000-01 to 2002-03) on the evaluation of indigenous materials against chilli pests at University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad.  The results revealed that the least leaf curl index was observed in garlic chilli kerosene extract [GCK @ 0.5%] + nimbecidine against both thrips [0.4 LCI] and mites [0.8 LCI].  The next best treatments included turmeric + cow urine [25%] and GCK  [1.0%] alone.  The untreated plots recorded as high as 1.2 LCI for both the pests.  These indigenous materials have also shown a moderate level of efficacy against the fruit borer [27 to 30% damage] as compared to insecticide applied plots [26% damage].  The highest pod yield was obtained in GCK + nimbecidine treatment [10.6q/ha] followed by insecticide application (9.6) and GCK alone.  The other materials like nimbecidine alone, parthenium extract and cow urine alone registered their moderate efficacy against chilli pests.
