Abstract

Study revealed that the acetamiprid 20% SP was found superior and showed minimum pod and grain damage during 2-year trial followed by fipronil 80% WG, azadirachtin 1500 PPM, thiamethoxam 25% WG, Beauveria bassiana 1.15% WP and deltamethrin 2.8% EC. The highest damage due to pod bug was found in Clothianidin 50% WDG treated plot over control. Acetamiprid 20% SP treated plots also showed maximum yield followed by other treatments.
