Sericulture is one of the viable enterprises which provide income through out the year unlike other commercial crops. Indiscriminate use of chemical fertilizers and insecticides for maximizing the leaf yield of mulberry adversely affects the soil health. Hence the study was taken up as farmer’s participatory mode in which Integrated Nutrient Management (INM) itself was included as a component of IPM module against tukra mealy bug Maconellicoccus hirsutus and leaf webber Diaphania pulverulentalis besides spraying of neem oil at 1%, 2% and 3% concentrations in 10 days interval. Data on the infestation (%) of tukra mealy bug M. hirsutus and leaf webber D. pulverulentalis , population of coccinellids and spiders (Nos./ 20 plants) and soil macro fauna/ ft3 (earthworms, centipedes and millipedes) were recorded. Results indicated the reduction of infestation (%) of tukra mealy bug M. hirsutus and leaf webber D. pulverulentalis and improvement in the population of coccinellids, spiders and soil macro fauna in mulberry ecosystem.
