Abstract:
Investigations were carried out to study the “Efficacy of different insecticides against larval population of Spodoptera frugiperda on rabi Jowar” at experimental farm of L. M. K college of agriculture, Sonsal-Hingangaon. Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) is an important cropcultivated across the world, therefore management of fall armyworm is very important for better yield. Studies revealed that emamectin benzoate 5 SG (2.25 larva /10 plant) proved effective with minimum infestation of Fall armyworm and found at par with Spinetoram 11.7 SC (2.65 larva /10 plant) and Chlorantriniliprole 18.5 SC (3.22 larva /10 plant), Thimethoxam 12.6 + Lambda cyhalothrin 9.5 ZC (4.86 larva /10 plant), Indoxacarb 14.5 SC (5.50 larva /10 plant), Spinosad 45 SC (5.64 larva /10 plant) and Profenophos 50 EC (7.33 larva /10 plant) appeared as next better treatments in this respect respectively. Maximum infestation of Fall armyworm was recorded in water spray (19.10 larva /10 plant).
