RB Mankar, US Kulkarni and SS Madankar
The present laboratory studies were conducted to generate information on relative toxicity of different readymix insecticides Novaluron 5.25% SC + Indoxacarb 4.5% SC, Profenophos 40% EC + Cypermethrin 4% EC, Indoxacarb 14.5% SC + Acetamiprid 7.7% SC, Pyriproxifen 5% EC + Fenpropathrin 15% EC against okra fruit borer Earias vittella (Fab.) using larval dip and fruit dip method in 2016-17. From present investigations Indoxacarb 14.5% SC + Acetamiprid 7.7% SC readymix insecticide formulation emerged as the most toxic insecticide formulation for management of Earias vittella.
