Abstract

                                Field experiments conducted to evaluate the efficacy of certain insecticides for the control of the aphid. Aphis craccivora Koch on cowpea and hyacinth bean showed that methyl demeton 0.025% spray was the best, the alternate Insecticida being monocrotophos 0.04%. Endosulfan 0.07% was the safest insecticide for the coccinellid predator Menochilus sexmaculatus F. followed by monocrotophos 0.04%.
