Abstract

Blitox-50 killed 100% larvae within three days while feeding 1% dithane M-45 resulted in similar effect after five days. These fungicides increased the larval and pupal periods significantly. Feeding of bavistin fortified diet showed little effect on larval survival at highest concentration while bayleton showed no adverse effect on Spodoptera litura.
