Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted at Wheat Research Station, S. D. Agricultural University, Vijaypur during 2018-19, 2019-20, 2020-21 and 2021-22 for evaluation of efficacy of different insecticides and bio-pesticides against aphid in wheat. The eight different treatments were evaluated. Based on pooled data of four years, the result revealed that minimum mean aphid population (1.76) was observed with foliar sprays of Thiamethoxam 25 WG @ 0.01% which was at par with all the other treatments except Beauveria bassiana @ (1x10⁹ cfu/g) and untreated check. The grain yield (49.25q/ha) was also recorded higher with Thiamethoxam 25 WG @ 0.01% compared to control.
