Bioefficacy of novel insecticides against brinjal shoot and fruit borer, Leucinodes orbonalis Guenee

The “Bio-efficacy of novel insecticides against Leucinodes orbonalis of Brinjal” was carried out at the Research Farm of Department of Agricultural Entomology, Vasantrao Naik Marathwada Krishi Vidyapeeth, Parbhani, India during Kharif 2018-19 using variety “Ajay. Three insecticidal spray was given during this experiment. Among all the treatments chlorantraniliprole 18.5% SC recorded lowest shoot infestation followed by cyantraniliprole 10.26% OD and emamectin benzoate 5% SG and all treatments were found superior over the control. It is revealed from the experiment that the lowest per cent fruit damage on the number basis and weight basis by chlorantraniliprole 18.5% SC followed by cyantraniliprole 10.26% OD and emamectin benzoate 5% SG. The treatment chlorantraniliprole 18.5% SC recorded higher fruit yield followed by cyantraniliprole 10.26% OD and emamectin benzoate 5% SG over check and lambda cyhalothrin 5% EC found to have highest insecticidal cost benefit ratio.
