Abstract
The insecticides, indoxacarb 14.5 SC (500 ml/ha.), novaluron 10 EC (500 ml/ha.), phenthoate 50 EC (1 ml/ha.), lambda cyhalothrin 5 EC (500 ml/ha), endosulfan 35 EC (1.5 lit/ha.) and biopesticides, neemarin (1.5 lit/ha), NSKE 5%(1 kg/ha.) and Beauveria bassiana (2.5 kg/ha.) were sprayed at recommended doses with a control plot. All tested insecticides and biopesticides performed better against sawflies as compared to untreated plots. Indoxacarb proved as the best with maximum reduction in sawfly larval population followed by novaluron, lambda cyhalothrin, phenthoate, endosulfan, neemarin, NSKE and Beauveria bassiana as the mean larval population was found to be 1.83, 3.00, 5.33, 4.50, 7.00, 8.17, 8.33 and 12.83, after 15 days of spray in the pooled data of both the years.
