The efficacy of cyantraniliprole 10 OD, a new xylem systemic insecticide in the anthranilic diamide chemistry, is reported for the management of different sucking insect pests like Thrips tabaci, Bemisia tabaci and Amrasca bigutulla bigutulla in Bt cotton. At 90 g a.i ha⁻¹, it was highly effective against whitefly, thrips and leaf hopper in Bt cotton. It was relatively safe to the natural enemies like spiders and coccinellids. The seed cotton yield was significantly higher in cyantraniliprole 10 OD @ 90 and 105 g a.i. ha⁻¹ (24.46 and 24.75 q ha⁻¹) as compared to control (20.30 q ha⁻¹).
