Chemical control has played a significant role in managing agricultural insect pests. Hence management of this pest is important. This book provides information about spatial distribution of these insects on different okra cultivars and the efficacy of insecticides for management of major insect pests in okra. Therefore, it is desired to study the varietal resistance of okra against the Earias vittella as well as its life table under the laboratory conditions While, spatial distribution of Amrasca biguttula biguttula and Bemisia tabaci is also studied in the field conditions to obtain their distribution pattern in order to make a management strategy. This book help to students, researcher and extension personals, whos working in okra.
