Abstract :

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of selected insecticides at different location against pea pod borer (Etiella zincknella Tr.) in the experimental field of Department of Plant Protection, Sam Higginbottom Institute of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences (SHIATS), Allahabad in Rabi season of 2011-2012 and Dayal Fertilizers Pvt Ltd. Partapur, Meerut in Rabi season of 2012 - 2013. Seven treatments including control with three replications were taken up using RBD. Foliar spray of insecticides viz. malathion @ 0.05%, cabaryl @ 0.15%, chlorpyriphos @ 0.05%, cypermethrin @ 0.006%, deltamethrin @ 0.002, quinalophos @ 0.05% were given at an interval of 3, 7 and 14 days while check plots were sprayed with water. Chlorpyriphos @ 0.05% proved superior against the larval population of pea pod borer as compared to other treatments.
