Large doses of pesticides are applied on tomatoes crop to prevent losses due to insect pests (Yardlm and Edwards 2003), which are harmful to environment besides uneconomical. This paper presents assessment of economics and Environmental Impact Quotient (EIQ) of indigenously prepared Biopesticide formulation (BPF) in comparison with organic, IPM and non-IPM programs of tomato crop. The BPF utilized was comprising Phyllanthus emblica (amla, 4%) fruit, Curcuma zedooria (turmeric, 6%), Allum (phitkari, 5%), Allium cepa (onion, 3.5%) bulb, Allium sativum (garlic, 4%) bulb, Calotropis procera (5%).
