Abstract
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) has been widely adopted in eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) production, but rigorous impact studies of IPM is limited in tropical, developing, countries. The study employed the stochastic frontier production function and propensity score matching (PSM) to measure farm-level impacts of IPM technology adoption. A total of 283 farmers were interviewed in 2015. It was determined that adoption of IPM did not affect yield and technical efficiency (TE) level of eggplant growers. Mean technical efficiency was similar for adopters (0.66) and non-adopters (0.65). Adoption of IPM reduces the frequency of pesticide application (35.13%) and pesticide cost (Tk. 11,100), Tk. is Bangladeshi currency, 1 USD = Tk. 80, and IPM adopters maximize profit by reducing cost. Due to a higher profitability, IPM technology for eggplant production can improve income to the growers.
