Bio-Efficacy of Agro Clean, A Bioproduct Against Sucking Insect Pests of Bt Cotton

Comparative Field Efficacy of Entomopathogenic Fungi and Certain New Insecticide Molecules Against Leafhoppers, Amrasca Devastans (Distant) on Bt Cotton

“…Chandi et al (2016) also reported that the percent reduction in leafhopper population was the highest with flonicamid 50 WG which is in concurrence with present findings. The efficacy of diafenthiuron and buprofezin against the sucking pests in cotton and other crops was reported earlier (Sreekanth and Reddy, 2011;Zala et al, 2014;Bajya et al, 2016;Kumar et al, 2015;Nemade et al, 2015;Jadhav et al, 2017) in cotton. The better efficacy of insecticide molecules with new chemistries over entomopathogenic fungi and other biopesticides was reported earlier (Kalyan et al, 2012;Saner et al, 2013), thus confirming the present findings.…”

Relative Efficacy of Different Insecticides on Chilli Thrips and Their Natural Enemies

“…Almeida (2013) observed that spinosad 0.015 per cent was found most effective in reducing the population of S. dorsalis as well as in increasing yields followed by diafenthiuron 0.045 per cent. Zala et al, 2014 also reported that diafenthiuron 50 WP @ 300 g.a.i./ha was highly effective in reducing the population of aphid, jassid, thrips and whitefly in cotton. Whereas, Nagaraj et al, (2007) found comparatively more population of thrips in acetamiprid 20% SP (3.95 thrips per leaf and 2.92 leaf curl index).…”
