Abstract: The results showed highest feeding deterrence in terms of feeding inhibition (FI) in spinetoram 11.70 SC + (metiram 55 + pyraclostrobin 5 WG) at 15 d after I, II, and III spraying (90.73, 91.77, and 92.19%; MLAC = 0.28,0.26, and 0.25 cm2, respectively) followed by indoxacarb 14.5 SC + (metiram 55 + pyraclostrobin 5 WG) (85.93, 86.20, and 86.94%; MLAC = 0.43, 0.44 and 0.43 cm2, respectively). The least feeding inhibition was seen in indoxacarb 14.5 SC + (carbendazim + mancozeb 74 WP) (43.32, 45.30 and 38.52%; MLAC = 2.25, 2.25 and 2.73 cm2, respectively) followed by indoxacarb 14.5 SC + hexaconazole 5 SC (67.81, 70.06 and 61.67%; MLAC = 1.09, 1.05 and 1.46 cm2, respectively). The combinations of spinetoram 11.70 SC + (metiram 55 + pyraclostrobin 5 WG), and indoxacarb 14.5 SC + (metiram 55 + pyraclostrobin 5 WG) therefore, can be used as commercial formulations without any antagonistic effect on toxicity against S. litura and phytotoxicity to the soybean crop.
