EVALUATION OF EMAMECTIN BENZOATE AGAINST DIAMOND BACK MOTH IN CABBAGE
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 51
Abstract
Vegetables play an important role in the soil fertility buildup, human nutrition and economy of the marginal and sub-marginal farmers due to less investment, shorter duration of crops and low inputs requirement. In most of the areas of the state cabbage farmers, face severe insect infestation due to its slow growth in the initial stage and lack of insect control measures. A field experiment was carried out during 2012-13 and 2013-14 at Breeders Seed Production farm (BSP), JNKVV, Jabalpur and two spray of insecticide were applied on 30 days after transplanting on 10 days interval. Ten plants were selected randomly per treatment per replication and number of Diamond back moth (DBM) larvae head-1 was counted before sprays as well as on third, fifth, seventh and tenth day after each spraying. Based on two years of study it was clear that Emamectin Benzoate 5% SG @ all doses gave good control of DBM in Cabbage along with significant increase in yield. It also did not produce any phyto-toxic symptoms on cabbage. Therefore, results revealed that the Emamectin Benzoate 5% SG @ 10 g a.i. ha-1 (200 g formulation ha-1) can be recommended for sufficient protection against DBM along with increase in head yield without any adverse effect on the crop.
