abstract
The field investigations were carried out to evaluate the bio-efficacy of seven newer insecticide molecules viz.,cyantraniliprole 10.26 OD @ 75 g a.i./ha, buprofezin 25 SC @ 250 g a.i./ha, spinosad 45 SC @ 73 g a.i./ha, lambda cyhalothrin 5 EC @ 15 g a.i./ha, fipronil 5 SC @ 75 g a.i./ha, flonicamid 50 WG @ 75 g a.i./ha and thiamethoxam 25 WG@ 50 g a.i./ha against thrips on pomegranate during Hasta bahar 2016 and 2017. The results revealed that all the insecticidal treatments were significantly effective against thrips over untreated control. Spinosad 45 SC @ 73 g a.i./ha was most effective treatment followed by cyantraniliprole 10.26 OD @ 75 g a.i./ha and fipronil 5 SC @ 75 g a.i./ha which were at par with each other.
