Abstract
Imidacloprid 70 WS and imidacloprid 200 SL were evaluated for their efficacy against termites in sugarcane as sett dip and spray over setts in furrows in two field experiments. Sett dip of imidacloprid 70 WS at 0.1 and 0.15 per cent and spray over setts of imidacloprid 200 SL at 250 and 375 ml/ha-1 resulted in increased germination of setts. These treatments protected the crop from termite damage and were equal to chlorpyriphos 20 EC at 5 lit./ha/t-1 in the efficacy. They also resulted in increased cane yield. There was no effect on the quality of juice and the residue was at below detectable limit in juice at harvest in these treatments.
