The bioefficacy of new insecticide i.e. NNI 0001 480 SC (Flubendiamide) against the diamondback moth Plutella xylostella was tested under field conditions on cabbage. Four experiments were conducted during 2006 and 2007. NNI 0001 480 SC was applied @ 25.0, 37.5 and 50.0 ml/ha and was compared with Padan 50 SP (cartap hydrochloride) @ 500 g, Thiodan 35 EC (endosulfan) @ 1000 ml/ha and the untreated control. The medium and higher doses of NNI 0001 480 SC (37.5 and 50.0 ml/ha) significantly reduced the larval population and hence increased the marketable yield. The lower dose of NNI 0001 480 SC (25.0 ml/ha) and Padan 50 SP were at par in reducing population and increasing the yield.
