Newer Insecticides for the Management of Brinjal Fruit and Shoot Borer, Leucinodes orbonalis

摘要

Field experiments were conducted during Kharif-2009 and 2010 to evaluate the efficacy of chlorantraniliprole 18.50% SC (Coragen), flubendamide 39.35% SC (Fame), indoxacarb 14.50% SC (Avaunt), chlorfenapyr 10% SC (Intrepid) and spinosad 45% SC (Spintor) against brinjal fruit and shoot borer, Leucinodes orbonalis (Guenee). Chlorantraniliprole 18.50% SC and flubendamide 39.35% SC proved their superiority over other insecticides in reducing infestation of L. orbonalis and resulted in higher yields.
