The field assessment of six insecticides against major sucking pests of okra revealed that flonicamid 50 WG was highly efficacious in managing all sucking pests, exhibiting the lowest incidence of leafhoppers (4.25/ 3 leaves), aphids (3.04/ 3 leaves), and whiteflies (2.80/ 3 leaves) and highest okra yield (18.18 t/ha) as compared to other treatments. Dinotefuran 20 SG and Spinetoram 11.7 SC addressed leafhoppers, and Pyriproxyfen 10 EC, Diafenthiuron 50 WP, and Dinotefuran 20 SG also managed the aphids and whiteflies in okra.
