Evaluation of new promising pesticides for the management of sucking pests in winter okra crop

The field experiment on evaluation of new promising pesticides result showed that all the treatments observed significantly lower population of sucking pest viz., jassid, aphid, thrips and whitefly as compared to untreated control. In all the two sprayings, Thiamethoxam 25% WG proved the best treatment as reducing the populations of the major sucking pests of winter okra. The next effective treatment was of Chlorantraniliprole 18.5% SC. However, the treatments of Flubendiamide 20% WG, Emamectin benzoate 5% SG, Buprofezin 22% + Fipronil 3% SC and Spinosad 45% SC were also observed to be moderately effective treatments in most of the observations. The maximum population of sucking pests were encountered from the untreated control plot.
