Abstract
New molecules were evaluated against maize stem borer, Chilo partellus in kharif maize under artificial infestation conditions during 2013 and 2014. The foliar application of deltamethrin 2.8 EC @ 200 ml/ha used as standard check was found to be the most effective. However, soil application of chlorantraniliprole 0.4 GR @ 8, 10 and 12 kg/ha and foliar application of Dipel @ 750 ml/ha being at par with each other were found to be moderately effective. The seed treatment of imidacloprid 600 FS was found to be the least effective.
