A field experiment comprised of nine insecticides was conducted at Rajasthan Agricultural Research farm during kharif 2018 to 2020. The seeds of groundnut variety RG 510 were sown in the field on the last week of June during kharif, 2018 to 2020 in the plots measuring 6.0 x 4.0 m2 keeping 0.45 and 0.10 m row to row and plant to plant distance, respectively. The recommended package of practices was followed to raise the crop. Imidacloprid 600 FS @ 6.5 ml per kg seed treatment was significantly superior over all other treatments with lowest plant mortality against termite and highest pod yield followed by fipronil 5 SC (7.33%) and imidacloprid 17.8 SL (9.00%). The maximum production was recorded in imidacloprid 600 FS with 18.81 q/ha followed by fipronil (16.35q/ha) and imidacloprid 17.8 SL (16.0q/ha) whereas, clothianidin 50WDG, thiamethoxam 30 FS and thiamethoxam 25 WDG were found next best treatments.
