Abstract
Chlorantraniliprole 18.5 SC has been found to be significantly superior to all other treatments in controlling Maruca vitrata. At 30 g a.i. ha−1, it recorded significantly low pest infestation of 9.55 webs per plant after 10 d of the second spray as compared to 22.55 webs per plant in the untreated control. Significantly low pod damage (7.22%), high seed yield (1278 kg ha−1) and maximum net monetary return over control (Rs. 22, 020 ha−1) were recorded. The next in order were indoxacarb 14.5 SC @ 73 g a.i. ha−1 and flubendamide 480 SC @ 48 g a.i. ha−1. All the insecticidal treatments were safe to the natural enemies at the respective dosages in comparison with the untreated control.
