Evaluation of Insecticide Molecules Against Turmeric Shoot Borer, Conogethes Punctiferalis Gueene (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae)
Journal Title: International Journal of Agricultural Science and Research (IJASR) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 6
Abstract
All the tested insecticides were effective in suppressing the incidence of C. Punctiferalis. Larval population was significantly less, in all the treated plots than untreated check. At three days after application, carbofuron and lamda cyhalothrin recorded higher larval mortality, over check of 54.79 percent, carbofuron application recorded better result, by controlling 72.60 percent larval mortality over check, within seven days followed by lamda cyhalothrin and chloropyripos (64.38%). At fifteen days, after application of lamda cyhalothrin 58.75 percent control of larval mortality, over untreated check was observed. The botanical pesticide nimbicidine was also effective, in reducing the pest and recorded significantly lower larval mortality over control. The higher mean larval mortality was observed in lamda cyhalothrin (59.30 percent), followed by carbofuron (56.63 percent) and chloropyripos (53.19 percent).
