The new formulation of emamectin benzoate 5 SG at 11 and 15 g a.i./ha was highly effective in checking the larval population of Helicoverpa armigera when compared to other standard check, spinosad 45 SC @ 75 g a.i./ha and endosulfan 35 EC @ 350 g a.i./ha. The lowest larval population was recorded with the application of emamectin benzoate 5 SG (NF) at 11 g a.i./ha and it was on par with 15 g a.i./ha which ultimately increased the yield of cotton.
