abstract
A field experiment was conducted to study the bio-efficacy of different insecticides against cumin aphids [Myzus persicae (Sulzer) and Hyadaphis coriandri (Das)]. For the purpose, cumin [Gujarat Cumin 4 (GC-4)] crop was grown at Anand Agricultural University, Anand in first year one and second year two sprays were applied. First spray of insecticides was made at initiation of pest and second spray was given after 15 days. Among the evaluated insecticides, flonicamid 50 WG 0.015%, clothianidin 50 WDG 0.02%, carbosulfan 25 EC 0.04% and thiacloprid 24 SC 0.024% emerged out as the best treatments on the basis of efficacy against aphid, yield and economics.
