    Brinjal
       i j and sweet gourd

   ƒ The abundance and diversity of natural enemies in organic
     fields were several folds more than conventional practiced fields.

   ƒ The per cent reduction of insect pest’s abundance in organic
     field was 29.76% over conventional field while per cent
     increased abundance of natural enemies in organic field was
     77.31% over conventional practiced fields.

   ƒ Natural enemies decreased significantly in conventional
     practiced plot of brinjal and sweet gourd field might be due to
     toxic effect of pesticides
