Management of Coriander Aphid <i>Hyadaphis Coriandri</i> (Das) With Safer Insecticides

Abstract

A field experiment on the relative efficacy of botanicals, biopesticides and insecticides against aphid Hyadaphis coriandri (Das) on coriander was conducted in 2015-16 and 2016-17. The results revealed that dimethoate 30EC was the most effective followed by acephate 75SP and cartap hydrochloride 50SP. The dhatura leaf and karanj seed extracts were found to be the least effective. The biopesticides Beauveria bassiana, Verticillium lecanii, Metarhizium anisopliae, azadirachtin 20EC, NSE and neem oil were found moderately effective.
