Abstract

Among the tested insecticides against foliar aphids of wheat imidacloprid 17.8 SL was found significantly superior in reducing the wheat aphid population up to 7th days after spray with highest yield of 31.10 q/ha and the maximum net return of Rs.1998/- ha−1. It was biologically safer for coccinellid predatory beetle/grubs.
