Abstract: Observation on number of leaf hoppers per leaf of different cultivars of brinjal crop was recorded. The cultivars Purple long, Nepali and Neelum were found quite resistant to leaf hopper. The varieties Sigatoka beauty and Sitara were found as moderately susceptible while Chayat, Greek, Local Gool, Violetta, Sciliana, Prospara and Violetta lunga were found to be the most susceptible cultivars. The variety Purple long had minimum mean leaf hoppers per leaf and gave highest yield than other cultivars. Although the variety local gool was found most susceptible yet gave yield at par with resistant cultivars like Nepali and Neelum.
