Bioefficacy of newer insecticides and botanicals against population of pigeonpea pod fly, Melanagromyza obtusa (Malloch)

摘要

Application of chlorantriniliprole 18.5 SC @ 30 g a.i. per ha was best treatment in suppressing maggot, pupal and total population of M. obtusa followed by neem oil @ 3 per cent. Application of Eucalyptus oil @ 5 per cent resulted as least effective treatment against M. obtusa suppression. All other remaining treatments resulted in moderate suppressing of M. obtusa population, while maximum maggot, pupal and total population of M. obtusa was observed in control.
