Abstract
This study examined the extent of damage caused by Bemisia tabaci (Genn.) on brinjal and the effects of citrus extracts in managing the menace using randomized block design during the 2022 and 2023 cropping seasons. The variety examined was highly susceptible with plants in T3 being the most affected. Citrus extracts differed significantly (p<5%) with its essential oil (30 ml/ l) being the most effective. The extracts are recommended to be incorporated in B. tabaci management practices of brinjal.
