Abstract

Among different insecticidal treatments against spotted pod borer infesting cowpea revealed that flubendiamide 20% WG @ 60 a.i./ha was found to be the most effective treatment recording minimum larval population (1.26 larvae/plant) followed by chlorantraniliprole 8.8% SC + thiamethoxam 17.5% SC @ 90 a.i./ ha (1.77 larvae/plant). Next effective treatment was chlorantraniliprole 18.5% SC @ 30 a.i./ha which was counted less number of larval population (2.14 larvae/plant).
