A field experiment on the management of banana skipper, Erionota torus (Evans.) was conducted at the research farm of Department of Entomology, College of Horticulture, Mulde, Dist. Sindhudurg, during the year 2021. Various treatments like chlorantraniliprole, quinalphos, cypermethrin, lambda cyhalothrin, deltamethrin and azadirachtin were tested. The overall per cent reduction over control after two sprays revealed that the treatment chlorantraniliprole 18.5 SC @ 0.005 per cent was most effective treatment which recorded (74.33%) reduction of larvae. The next best treatment was quinalphos 25 EC @ 0.05 per cent with (63.88%) reduction. It was followed by cypermethrin 25 EC @ 0.07 (61.26%), lambda cyhalothrin @ 5 EC (57.33%), deltamethrin @ 2.8 EC (53.99%) and T₆ – azadirachtin @10000 ppm (50.82%). However, all the treatments were significantly superior over control.
