Abstract

The application of imidacloprid 17.8 SL at 100 ml/ha produced the highest yield (10.24 q/ha), however thiamethoxam 25 WG at 100 g/ha produced the treatment with the highest cost-benefit ratio (1: 9.78). This is because imidacloprid 17.8 SL at 100 ml/ha is more expensive. The treatment with emamectin benzoate 5 SG @ 200 g/ha produced the lowest yield (7.50 q/ha), however the treatment with spinosad 45 SC @ 200 ml/ha had a lower cost-benefit ratio.
