Economics of different treatments for the management of mango hopper (Amritotus atkinsoni)

Abstract

The present investigation was carried out on the economics of different treatments for the management of mango hoppers (Amritotus atkinsoni) in western zone of U.P in randomized block design with three replication and nine treatments at the HRC, Siwaya farm of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel University of Agricultural and Technology, Meerut U.P., India during 2018-19. Economic evaluation of the treatments was made on the basis of average healthy fruit yield obtained during year 2018-19. Treatment cost and marketable value of the produce. It can be seen from the data pertaining to net income (Rs./ha) in different treatments. The profit in different treatments are in increasing order of Dinutefuran 50% WP@ 0.005 > imidacloprid 17.8 SL @ 0.005% > dimethoate 30 EC @ 0.005% > thiamethoxam 50 WG @ 0.01% > neemal oil @ 1500 PPM > NSKE @ 5% > Metarhizium anisopliae 1x108 cfu/ml > B. bassiana 1.0X108 cfu/ml , However, Dinutefuran 50% WP@ 0.005 and imidacloprid 17.8 SL @ 0.005% were found very effective in controlling the Mango leaf hopper (Amritodus atkinsoni).
