Abstract

A field trial was conducted to evaluate and validate the bio-efficacy of selected insecticides against chilli thrips, Scirtothrips dorsalis Hood on chilli, Capsicum annuum L. Results study revealed that, amongst the treatments used treatment T1 (Acetamiprid 20 SP @ 100 g/ha + Ethion 50 EC @ 1500 ml/ha was most effective followed by Imidacloprid 17.8 SL @ 125 ml/ha + Propargite 57 EC @ 1500 ml/ha followed by Buprofezin 25 SC @ 300 ml/ha + Fenazaquine 10 EC @ 1250 ml/ha; Fipronil 5 SC @ 1000 ml/ha + Spiromesifen 240 SC @ 400 ml/ha and Chlorantraniliprole 18.5 SC @ 150 ml/ha) against chilli thrips population up to 15 days after treatment (2.63 thrips/3 leaves).
