Abstract
Imidacloprid, an insecticide belonging to chloronicotinyl group was applied as seed treatment for the management of thrips on chilies. Seed treatment of imidacloprid 600 FS and 70 WS at 7, 9, 12, 15 and 30 ml kg−1 protected the seedlings in the nursery up to 35 days. Imidacloprid @ 12 ml was most effective followed by imidacloprid @ 9 ml and @ 30 ml/litre. The seed treatment of imidacloprid reduced the thrips population significantly and also recorded higher yield of chilli fruits. There was no phytotoxicity in the chilli plants due to the treatment of imidacloprid as seed treatment even at highest dose.
