Abstract

Field studies were undertaken to study the comparative bioefficacy of buprofezin 25 EC, at two doses viz., 75 g a.i/ha and 150 g a.i./ha along with the available market samples of buprofezin against sucking pests of cotton and its safety to natural enemies during kharif, 2008 and 2009 in farmers field at Gangasagar village of Bolangir District of Odisha. Buprofezin 25 EC at 150 g a.i./ha was highly effective in checking the sucking pests viz. Bemisia tabaci, Amrasca biguttula biguttula, Aphis gossypii and Scirtothrips dorsalis, in both the years and it had no adverse effect on the population of natural enemies.
