Abstract:The field experiment was conducted in randomized block design with three replications of nine treatments for a crop season of the year i.e. “
Rabi 2021-22” at the agricultural research farm of Baba Raghav Das Post Graduate College Deoria Up, India. Different insecticides against
L. erysimi revealed that all the insecticides were significantly more effective in reducing the population of aphids and thus increasing the yield than control. Higher yield ranged between 9.00 q/ha to 17.50 q/ha and were proved significantly superior over control 6.75 q/ha.
The highest seed yield of 17.50 q/ha was obtained from the imidacloprid 17.8% SL treated plot and it was significantly superior over the rest of the treatments. Cost benefit ratio from the table that thiamethoxam 25 WG ranked first indicating the maximum return Rs 1:23.13 per rupee invested followed by imidacloprid 17.8% SL (1: 17.31) and carbosulfan 25 EC (1:13.15).
