A laboratory experiment was conducted to find out the efficacy of selective botanicals and entomopathogens against S. dorsalis on rose at different stages (bud, half opened flower and full opened flower). The half opened flowering stage of rose was found suitable in controlling S. dorsalis. Clothianidin 50 WDG (0.06 g/l) was found to control thrips population (94.78%). Among the botanicals, 2% Neem Seed Kernel Extract (NSKE) was found suitable, which controlled 69.08% thrips and among entomopathogens Heterorhabditits indica (2000 IJs/ml) recorded 67% control.
