Abstract

Studies on comparative field efficacy of insecticides against, Emmalocera depressella Swinhoe revealed that chloropyrifos-20 Ec was found to be superior showing highest range (36.33 to 38.00%) of germination, lowest (8.94 to 7.11) cumulative incidence percentage and highest (77.33 to 79.77 t/ha) yield followed by imidacloprid 17.8 Sl, the range being 35.33% to 36.16%; 10.88% to 9.78% and 76.00 to 77.66 (t/ha) in germination, cumulative incidence and yield, respectively.
