Among the eight tested biopesticides, SlNPV 250 LE, B. bassiana 1% WP and aqueous bidi tobacco dust extract 2% found most effective and recorded minimum larval population of S. litura as well as per cent damaged groundnut plant. While, treatments of neem oil 1%, Btk 1% WP and M. anisopliae 1% WP were found moderately effective in reducing larval population and per cent damaged plant. Whereas, the treatments of azadirachtin 10000 ppm and N. rileyi 1% WP. Efficacy of biopesticides as reduction in S. litura population was SlNPV 250 LE > B. bassiana 1% WP > aqueous bidi tobacco dust extract 2% > neem oil 1% > Btk 1% WP > M. anisopliae 1% WP > azadirachtin 10000 ppm > N. rileyi 1% WP.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
