A survey indicated that whitefly appeared to be the most challenging pest of tomato and almost all the farmers of study site in field experiment, five treatments with four replications were used. The trade name of the treatments were: i) Lancer gold (1.8% S.P) @ 2 ml/liter of water ii) Imadigold (17.8% S.L) @ 1.5 ml/8 litre of water iii) Alwin XL @ 2.5ml/litre of water iv) Alti-neem (0.03EC a.i.%) @ 3 ml/litre of water and v) untreated control. Among the treatments Imadigold application, reduced the number of whitefly population much more than other treatments as compared to control (about 70%). About 33% more fruit yield was obtained from the plot treated with Imadigold as compared to control plot. Therefore, in comparison to other treatments, Imadigold treatment was much more effective in term of whitefly management and on the tomato fruit yield in the study area.
