Evaluation of different newer insecticides against stem borer, Chilo partellus on sorghum

Abstract

Field experiment was conducted at AICSIP, sorghum Research Station, VNMKV, Parbhani (MS) during Kharif 2019-20 to evaluation of seven newer insecticides viz., chlorantraniliprole 18.5% SC, flubendiamde 39.35% SC, emamectin benzoate 5% SG, cyantraniliprole 10.26% OD, thiomethoxam 12.6%+ lambda cyhalothrine 9.5% ZC, spinosad 45% SC and profenophos 50% EC were treated against stem borer, Chilo partellus. The results revealed that all the insecticidal treatments were significantly effective against stem borer over untreated control among them chlorantraniliprole 18.5% SC most effective treatment followed by flubendiamde 39.35% SC and emamectin benzoate 5% SG.
