A field experiment was conducted for two consecutive rabi seasons (2021-22 and 2022-23) to assess the effectiveness of various insecticides against onion thrips. The insecticides evaluated for their efficacy were solomon 300 OD (beta-cyfluthrin 9% + imidacloprid 21%), Lambda Cyhalothrin 5 EC, imidacloprid 200 SL, beta-cyfluthrin 25 SC, and dimethoate 30 EC. Solomon 300 OD was most effective, followed by imidacloprid 200 SL, lambda cyhalothrin 5 EC, dimethoate 30 EC, and beta-cyfluthrin 25 SC, in reducing thrips populations and increasing onion bulb yield.
