Abstract

The major sucking insects studied were leaf hopper, Amrasca biguttula biguttula, whitefly, Bemisia tabaci. All the tested insecticides reduced the sucking pest population significantly over control. Two sprays of Flupyradifurone 200 SL @ 2.0 ml/lit was found effective for control of leaf hoppers and whiteflies when the crop was sprayed at an interval of ten days starting from economic thresh hold level (ETL).
