Abstract


The present study aimed to assess the safety of insecticides and botanicals forFAW management against Telenomus remus. Laboratory investigation on the effect of botanicals / insecticides on the parasitic potential of T. remus on FAW eggs revealed maximum parasitization and parasitoid emergence from chlorantraniliprole treated eggs (97.2 and 95.4 %) followed by azadirachtin, emamectin benzoate, flubendiamide and Spinetorum. Similarly, pot culture study revealed maximum parasitization (97.0%) and parasitoid emergence (90.1%) in egg masses treated with chlorantraniliprole indicating the relative safety of chlorantraniliprole to T. remus. Chlorantraniliprole and emamectin benzoate control Fall armyworm. The foregoing experimental results show that T. remus can be a good candidate for integrated FAW management
