Efficacy of Selected Chemical Insecticides against Shoot and Fruitborer [Earias vittella (Fabricius)] on Okra [Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench.]

A field trail was conducted at Central Research Farm (CRF), Naini, Prayagraj during Kharif from July to November 2021 in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications. Eight treatments were evaluated against Earias vittella i.e., Flubendiamide @480% SC, Indoxacarb @ 14.5% Spinosad 45% Chlorantraniliprole 18.5% EC, Neem oil 2%, Emamectin benzoate 5% SG, Cypermethrin 25% EC and untreated Control.Results revealed that, among the different lowest per cent infestation of okra shoot fruitborer recorded (8.02%,5.15%). SG (9.26%, 6.75%) found be next best treatment followed by Flubendiamide@480% SC (10.29%, 7.48%), Cypermethrin@25%EC (11.41%,9.24), @14.5% (12.32%,10.00%), (13.13%, 11.53%) whereas 2% (14.25%,12.70) least effective this pest. Among treatments, gave highest marketing yield cost benefit ratio (188 q/ha 1:8.41) (176 1:8.41), 480% (152q/ha and1:7.18), (135q/ha and1:6.22), (121.2q/ha and1:5.74), (114.6 1:5.29) (102.4 1:4.80) as compared control plot (87.2 1:4.2).
