Abstract

Efficacy of botanical extracts was evaluated against the rice stem borer Scirpophaga incertulas (Wlk.) at PAJANCOA and RI, Karaikal during kharif 2019 and rabi 2019-2020. The results revealed that thiamethoxam 25WG @ 100 g/ ha reduced incidence to 4.99% and 4.13% (52.15 and 61.80% reduction, respectively). Among the botanicals, garlic and chilli extract 5% reduced this to 5.69% and 5.48%. The predatory coccinellids and spiders were more in untreated check and it was found at par with garlic and chilli extracts at 5%, followed by five leaf extracts @10% and bitter apple leaf extract 10%. The benefit cost ratio (BCR) was maximum with thiamethoxam 25WG @ 100 g/ ha (1: 1.67 and 1: 2.10), followed by garlic and chilli extract 5% (1: 1.59 and 1:1.91).
