Abstract

Field trials were conducted at the Entomological Research Farm, PAU, Ludhiana for two years (2017 and 2018) with chlorantraniliprole 18.5SC and pyridalyl 10EC against Earias spp. infesting okra Abelmoschus esculentus (L.). Chlorantraniliprole 18.5SC @ 125 ml/ ha and pyridalyl 10EC @ 500 ml/ ha were found to be significantly superior. Significantly higher yield was obtained with maximum economic returns in these treatments.
