Abstract

The present investigation entitled was conducted on the farm of Department of Agricultural Entomology, Dr. PDKV, Akola during kharif season of 2018-19. The experiment was laid in randomized block design with 15 treatments and 2 replications. The results revealed that treatment Fenvalerate 20% EC @ 2ml/L followed by treatments Lambda-cyhalothrin 5% EC @ 1.33 ml/L, Pyriproxyfen 5% EC + fenpropathrin 15% EC @ 1 ml/L and Lambda-cyhalothrin 5% EC + Hexaconazole 5% EC @ 1.33 ml+1ml/L were found significantly effective in recording lower percentage of shoot damage due to shoot and fruit borer at 30 DAG and 45 DAG. In case of fruit infestation on number basis and weight basis, treatment Fenvalerate 20% EC @ 2ml/L followed by treatments Lambda-cyhalothrin 5% EC @ 1.33 ml/L, Pyriproxyfen 5% EC + fenpropathrin 15% EC @ 1 ml/L and Lambda-cyhalothrin 5% EC + Hexaconazole 5% EC @ 1.33 ml+1ml/L were highly effective in recording lower percentage of fruit infestation on number and weight basis.
