摘要

The data on per cent dead hearts due to rice yellow stem borer in different insecticidal treatment were recorded on 3, 7 and 10 days after first and second spray revealed significant differences at each level. The minimum dead hearths were recorded infipronil 0.3 G (T_2), followed by spinosad 45 SC (T_3). The other treatments viz., profenophos 50 EC (T_1) and cartap hydrochloride (T_4) were at par but showed significantly lower damage than control.
