Janani Maha, Usha Rani B., Suresh K.

Abstract


Field experiment was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of seven new insecticides against leaf-eating caterpillar, Diaphania indica in bitter gourd, being maintained by farmer field in Thuyyaneri, Madurai district, Tamil Nadu. It revealed that Chlorantraniliprole @ 150ml/ ha was most effective, followed by Chlorantraniliprole 18.5 SC 125 ml/ha, spinosad 45 % SC 160 ml/ha, Thiodicarb 75 %WP 750 g/ha, and Imidacloprid 17.8 SL 250 ml/ha, were moderately effective. While Dichlorovos 76 %EC 325 ml/ha and spiromesifen 22.9 SC 500 ml/ha, were least effective against bitter gourd leaf-eating caterpillar.
