Bio-efficacy of different doses of noval insecticide against sap feeder insect pests infesting pomegranate

Field experiments were conducted to evaluate the bio-efficacy of novel insecticide, Cyantraniliprole 10.26% OD 200, 250, 300, 400 g/ha along with two standard checks i.e., Lambda-cyhalothrin 4.9% CS and Fipronil 5% SC @ 2000 ml/ha against sap feeder insect pests infesting pomegranate at KVK, Jhalawar during the years 2021 and 2022. The pomegranate variety Sindhuri was transplanted in a Randomized Block Design with seven treatments with three replications. Cyantraniliprole 10.26% OD was equally effective @ 400 and 300 g/ha to control major sap feeder insects like aphid, thrips and whitefly on pomegranate crop and better than other standard treatments. The mean maximum yield of pomegranate was recorded in the treatment of Cyantraniliprole 10.26% OD@ 400 g/ha which was 98.20 q/ha and 109.20 q/ha during respective year in comparison to control.
