Abstract

The effect of various insecticides on the larval incidence of pod borer Helicoverpa armigera in soybean revealed that indoxacarb 14.5SC (69.44%) followed by imidacloprid 17.8SL (62.65%), cypermethrin 10EC (58.06%), profenophos 50EC (54.05%), quinalphos 25EC (48.83%) and neem oil (40.59%) led to maximum reduction. Their effect on the yield of soybean revealed that the maximum yield was with indoxacarb 14.5EC (19.19) followed by others.
