Abstract

A field experiment was conducted at the ICAR Research Complex for NEH Region, Umiam, Meghalaya to evaluate nine pesticides applied in two phenological stages of maize (variety Vijay composite) against stem borer Chilo partellus (Swinhoe), and cob borer Stenachroia elongella Hampson. Deadheart due to stem borer recorded after 30 and 45 days after emergence and cob borer infestation recorded during harvesting of cobs revealed that flubendiamide was superior with 80.09% reduction in infestation of deadheart and 80.38% reduction of cob borer over untreated control. Similarly, among the biopesticides, Bacillus thuringiensis was effective against both the pests.
