Contribution No. 310 of the Indian Institute of Horticultural Research, 255, Upper Palace Orchards, Bangalore-560006.
Seven insecticides, viz., carbaryl (0.2 per cent), quinalphos (0.04 per cent), phosphamidon (0.05 per cent), trichlorphon (0.05 per cent), naled (0.05 per cent) and dimethoate (0.06 per cent) were evaluated for the control of the mango shoot borer. Two to three sprays of carbaryl at 3 week intervals commencing from initiation of new flush were found to offer effective protection from the pest.
