A field experiment was conducted to determine the “Bio-efficacy of newer insecticides against pod borer complex” of Pigeonpea at the Research cum Instructional Farm of Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya, Raipur (C.G.) during kharif of 2020-21. These pod borer complex causing substantial yield loss in Pigeonpea crop hence required intervention to manage them by using suitable pesticides. First application was done at when substantial pest population was observed in experiment field and the second spraying was done at 15 days after first spray. Therefore, bio-efficacy of Bufrofezine 25 SC (1.0 ml /lit.), Diafenthiuron 50 SG (1.0 g /lit.), Dinetofuron 20 SG (0.3 g/lit), Flubendiamide 480 SC (0.3 g/lit), Acetamipride 20 SP (0.3 ml/lit.), Thiamethoxam 25 WG (0.2 g/lit) and Thiaclopride 21.7 SC (0.4 g + jaggry 5 g/lit.) has been tested against Pigeonpea pod borer complex with an untreated control.
