Bio-efficacy of Insecticides Against Sucking Insect Pests of Moth Bean, Vigna aconitifolia

Out of nine insecticides, dimethoate 0.03% was found highly effective for the control of jassids and thrips followed by monocrotophos 0.036% while phosphamidon 0.03% was found highly effective against white fly followed by dimethoate 0.03%. The azadirachtin 5 ml lit-1 was found least effective for the control of jassids, white fly and thrips. The maximum yield was obtained in plots treated with dimethoate 0.03% (5.15 q ha⁻¹) while minimum yield was obtained from the plots treated with azadirachtin 0.03 EC (3.00 q ha⁻¹), which was at par with control (2.88 q ha⁻¹).
