FIVE EFFICIENCY OF INSECTICIDES FOR THE CONTHUL OF RICE LEAF FOLDER

Abstract

Spraying monocrotophos (Nuvacron) 36 SUC @ 500 ml/ha on need basis was found to be the most effective in keeping the rice leaf folder infestation below ET level as well as in giving highest grain yield with maximum net profits. Quinalphos (Ekalux) 25 EC and phosalons (Zolone) 35 EC ranked second in order of efficacy. Performance of chlorpyriphos (Coraban) 20 EC and phosphamidon (Dimecron) 85 SC was moderate, while fenitrothion, dichlorvos, fenthion and carbaryl were not very effective.
