Bio-efficacy of insecticides against tomato pinworm, Tuta absoluta (Meyrick)

Patel NM and Mehta DM

Study on bio-efficacy of insecticides against tomato pinworm, Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) on tomato was carried out under laboratory conditions at AICRP on Biocontrol of crop pests, Anand Agricultural University, Anand. Maximum (77.05%) mortality was obtained under laboratory conditions when larvae were treated with flubendiamide (0.014%) which was followed by emamectin benzoate (0.002%) and dichlorvos (0.02%) in which larval mortality was 75.91 and 74.77 per cent, respectively. Lower (32.79%) larval mortality was observed in the treatment dimethoate (0.03%), followed by thiamethoxam (0.01%) where larval mortality was 35.96 per cent.
