Bio-efficacy of new combi-product against sucking pests of cotton

The present investigation was undertaken with a view to find out bioefficacy of new combi-product against sucking pests of cotton in comparison with individual insecticide. The results revealed that (T 6 ) cypermethrin 10 per cent + indoxacarb 10 per cent SC @ 200 + 200 g a.i./ha was the superior treatment in reducing the sucking pest complex viz., aphids, thrips during all observational period after first and second spray. It was, however, at par with (T 5 ) cypermethrin 10 per cent + indoxacarb 10 per cent SC @ 100 + 100 g a.i./ha. Among the sole insecticides, (T 8 ) cypermethrin 10 per cent EC @ 75 g a.i./ha was found to be most superior insecticide for minimizing aphids and thrips population.
