Abstract

The experiment was conducted to evaluate the bio-efficacy of ready-mix formulation of Emamectin Benzoate 5% + Lufenuron 40% WG against brinjal fruit and shoot borer, Leucinodes orbonalis (Guen.) at Agricultural Research Station- Banswara (Rajasthan) during the year 2019-20 and 2020-21. The experiment included nine treatments viz. emamectin benzoate 5% + lufenuron 40% WG @ 50, 60, 70 g ha^-1; Emamectin benzoate 5% SG @ 200g ha^-1; Lufenuron 5.4% EC @ 600 ml ha^-1; Chlorantraniliprole 18.5% SC @ 200 ml ha^-1; Betacyfluthrin 8.49% + Imidacloprid 19.81% OD @ 200 ml ha^-1; untreated check and one phytotoxicity treatment, which were replicated thrice. The results revealed that maximum percent control (85.90 & 86.25 % during the years 2019-20 and 2020-21, respectively) was recorded in Emamectin benzoate 5% w/w + Lufenuron 40% w/w WG @ 70 g ha^-1 and was statistically at par with its lower dose of 60 g ha^-1. The same trend was followed in the case of fruit yield.
