of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad to evaluate efficacy of different organic amendments superimposed with neem based pesticides against chilli sucking pests. Among different treatments, split application of neem cake @ 125 kg/ha + vermicompost @ 625 kg/ha at transplanting and 50 days later (with 50 per cent nitrogen) and Nimbecidine and NSKE spray interventions later was found to be the most effective treatment. The same treatment with 100% N resulted in significantly reduced activity of sucking pests and higher dry chilli yield (5.28 q/ha) with net return of Rs. 17492/-.
