This study evaluated the efficacy of biopesticides against major insect pests cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) in Lekbeshi, Surkhet, Nepal. A randomized complete block design experiment was conducted with four treatments: Beauveria bassiana (1 ml/L), Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) (2 Jholmol (1:5 concentration), and an untreated control. After third spray, B. reduced red pumpkin beetle populations from 1.4 to 0.4 insects per plant, while Bt fruit fly 2.8 1.6 compared control (4.2 2.2). At 60 days after transplanting, Bt-treated plants were significantly taller (137.45 cm) than (111.28 cm). Fruit damage lowest plots (1.8% 0.69 kg weight) (3.8% kg). While yield attributes showed no significant differences, total highest bassiana-treated (35.58 t/ha) (17.8 t/ha). Economic analysis revealed that treatment had benefit-cost ratio (4.19), followed by (2.9), (2.8), (2.3). These findings suggest biopesticides, particularly Bt, can effectively manage improving economic returns, offering a sustainable alternative chemical pesticides subtropical regions.
