Abstract

Efficacy of newer insecticides was studied against mustard aphid, Lipaphis erysimi (Kalt.) and their effect on Coccinella septumpunctata was also recorded at Pilibhit (UP) during 2007–08 on Indian mustard. The insecticides used are acetamiprid 20 SP (125 g/ha) and imidachloprid 17.8 SL (150 ml/ha). Acetamiprid 20 SP (125 g/ha) proved as the best insecticide followed by acephate, thiamethoxam, imidacloprid, profenofos, dimethoate and oxydemeton methyl for the management of aphids. Thiamethoxam was found as the safer insecticide to the coccinellids.
