Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Eight insecticidal treatments (including biopesticides, IGR, IGR and insecticides ready combi products) were evaluated against aphids (Aphis gossypii Glover) in okra. The results revealed that buprofezin 15% + acephate 35% WP proved effective in minimizing the A. gossypii. However, it was found at par with pyriproxyfen 5% + fenpropathrin 15% EC. Among biopesticides, azadirachtin 1% EC (10000 ppm) and Lecanicillium lecanii 1.15 % WP were effective at reducing aphid population and better option for managing pest in organic farming. No deleterious effect of these tested treatments was observed on the natural enemies. Maximum okra pod yield was obtained with buprofezin 15% + acephate 35% WP (77.58 q/ha) and it proved to be the economically viable.
