Year: 2017

Type: article

Abstract: Experiment under field condition was conducted to test the effect of insecticides against whiteflies checking the incidence of yellow vein mosaic virus (YVMV) on okra at Indian Agriculture Research Institute, Regional Station, College of Agriculture, Pune. The present study conducted in randomized block design with eight treatments. The seven insecticides were evaluated against whiteflies checking the yellow vein mosaic virus (YVMV) incidence .The observations on whiteflies mortality and incidence of YVMV incidence recorded at 3, 7 and 14 days after each spray. The results revealed that thiomethoxam 0.005 per cent was the most effective treatment and followed by acetamiprid (0.005%) and imidacloprid (0.01%) against whiteflies checking yellow vein mosaic virus (YVMV) incidence. Further, the results of correlation studies showed positive association of whitefly mortality with YVMV incidence.
