Ravindra Tarate , Pandurang Mohite, Sangram Dhumal

Abstract :

The insecticides application at 25, 45 and 65 days after transplanting showed that efficacy of emamectin benzoate 5 SG @ 9.5 g a.i/ha was most effective against leaf miner,Liriomyza trifolii Burgess. followed by spinosad 45 SC @ 75 g a.i/ha and lambda cyhalothrin 5 EC @ 50 g a.i./ha. The highest yield was recorded in spinosad 45 SC @ 75 g a.i/ha (220.41 q/ha) which was found significantly superior over rest of the treatments. The second best treatment in respect of fruit yield was emamectin benzoate 5 SG @ 9.5 g a.i/ha (213.74 q/ha)
