Abstract

Bioefficacy of eight insecticides viz., spinosad 45% SC, fipronil 5% SC, imidacloprid 17.80% SL, acetamiprid 20% SP, thiamethoxam 25% WG, flupyradifurone 20% SL, dichlorvos 76% eC and nimbicidine 0.03% eC was evaluated against the mulberry thrips, Pseudodendrothrips mori (niwa). Among different treatments, fipronil, flupyradifurone, acetamiprid, imidacloprid and thiamethoxam were most effective in reducing the population of thrips to 0.97, 0.99, 1.03, 1.05 to 1.08 per top three leaves respectively, at 5 DAS as compared to 15.31 per three leaves in control.
