Homoeopathic medicines are used in agriculture to increase the yield and to control the diseases of plants. Here, Cantharis 6x is used in comparison with Cypermethrin to control the Hadda beetles in Egg plants. In this study, a significant difference [P<0.001] in percent can be seen in the mortality of H.vigintioctopunctata by the application of insecticides. The study results show that Cypermethrin is effective to control Hadda beetles in all treatment groups in comparison to Cantharis 6X and the negative control. Bioassay results showed a significant mortality of H.vigintioctopunctata grubs by Cantharis 6X treatment. When we consider the ecological consequences of conventional synthetic insecticides, there is a need to find more effective alternatives that can control pests with less environmental impact. Cantharis 6X is effective when it is used against H.vigintioctopunctata grubs.
