Assessing the bioefficacy of Cyantraniliprole 10.26% OD against fruit borer and thrips on chilli under field condition

During the rabi season of 2020, a trial was performed to estimate the efficacy of Cyantraniliprole 10.26 % OD at different doses (30, 60, 90, and 120 g a.i./ha respectively) together with Imidacloprid 17.8% SL (20 g a.i./ha) and Spinosad 45% SC (73 g a.i./ha) to evaluate their efficacy against the fruit borer and thrips infesting chilli (variety SHP-4884). The trial was performed in randomized block design containing three replications. The results showed that Cyantraniliprole 10.6% OD @ 120 g a.i./ha was the most efficient insecticide among the others and recorded the maximum reduction (84.13 % in larval population of fruit borer and 78.03 % in thrips population) in both the pest populations over the untreated check. However, Cyantraniliprole 10.6% OD @ 90 g a.i./ha was noted as the next best insecticide.
