Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) is attacked by
number of insect pests and is susceptible to a variety of
diseases (Pandey et al. 2006; Reddy et al. 2007) and it
consumes huge amount of pesticides. 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%). Fresh
cow-dung extract (3%), Lycopersicon esculentum (Tomato,
6%) leaf extract, Ferula narthexboiss (2%), Azadirachta
indica leaves (5.5%), Ocimum canum (tulsi leaves, 4%),
cow urine (52%).
