Evaluation of some botanicals and insecticides against stem borer, planthoppers and natural enemies in rice

摘要

Among the different treatments, rynaxypyr 20 SC @ 150 ml/ha was found superior to manage the infestation of stem borer and dinotefuran 20 SG against plant hoppers. While multineem 0.03 EC @ 2500 ml/ha was found effective in suppressing the incidence of yellow stem borer and plant hoppers and also gave higher yield. All the botanicals were safe to natural enemies.
