Abstract

A field experiment was conducted at the research farm, Agricultural Research Station, Department of Entomology, College of Agriculture, Ummedganj, Agriculture University, Kota during rabi 2020- 21. Bioefficacy of selected insecticides was evaluated against sucking insect pests viz., aphid (Aphis gossypii Glover), whitefly (Bemisia tabaci Gennadius) and mite (Polyphagotarsonemus latus Bank) on chilli (Capsicum annuum L.). This study revealed that, among the treatments tested, the combination of insecticides as per spray schedule, treatment T1 (acetamiprid 20 SP @ 100 g/ ha + ethion 50 EC @ 1500 ml/ ha followed by imidacloprid 17.8 SL @ 125 ml/ ha + propargite 57 EC @ 1500 ml/ ha followed by buprofezin 25 SC @ 300 ml/ ha + fenazaquine 10 EC @ 1250 ml/ ha followed by fipronil 5 SC @ 1000 ml/ ha + spiromesifen 240 SC @ 400 ml/ha followed by chlorantraniliprole 18.5 SC @ 150 ml/ ha) was found significantly most effective against aphid, whitefly and mite population up to 15 days after treatment.
