Abstract

Field evaluation of new diamide and other insecticides against Leucinodes orbonalis Guen in brinjal revealed that flubendiamide 30 g a.i. ha−1 was superior over other treatments recording the lowest shoot (2.65%) and fruit (14.07%) infestation followed by chlorantraniliprole 27.25 g a.i. ha−1 (2.77% shoot, 15.33% fruit infestation), flubendiamide 20 g a.i. ha−1 (3.43% and 15.85%), chlorantraniliprole 18.5 g a.i ha−1 (3.76%, 16.78%), indoxacarb 72.5 g a.i. ha−1 (3.96% and 17.18%) and thiamethoxam 62.5 g a.i. ha−1 (6.62% and 26.75%), respectively. Flubendiamide 30 g a.i. ha−1 recorded the highest marketable fruit yield of 156.25 q ha−1.
