Abstract

Studies conducted on evaluation of insecticides as foliar sprays during fruiting period of mango against mango fruitfly, Dacus dorsalis Hendel in 1982 and 1983 revealed that deltamethrin (0.0025 per cent), fenthion (0.05 per cent), carbaryl (0.1 per cent) and dimethoate (0.03 per cent) were the most effective insecticides and were statistically at par. Considering the economics of treatments, alternate sprays of fenthion (0.05 per cent) and dimethoate (0.03 per cent) at fortnightly interval starting from first week of April are recommended for effective and economic control of the fruitfly.
