EFFECT OF NEW INSECTICIDES AGAINST COTTON BOLLWORMS

Abstract

In field trials conducted for two years, it was found that two new synthetic pyrethroids viz., cyhalothrin at the rate of 0.025 kg a.i./ha and fluvalinate 0.075 kg a.i./ha were equally effective as fenvalerate 0.075 kg ai./ha against the bollworms on cotton. There was not much difference among the treatments in the yield of seed cotton, though flucythrinate recorded 2033 kg/ha (1985-86) and fenvalerate 1780 kg/ha (1986-87) as against 978 kg/ha in the untreated check respectively.
