Abstract:
Field experiments were carried out to evaluate the efficacy of different insecticides at different doses against leaf folder, Cnaphalocrocis medinalis (Guenee) infesting paddy at Agricultural Research Station, Anand Agricultural University, Sansoli (Gujarat) during kharif, 2018 and 2019. The application of flubendiamide 20 WG @ 25 g a.i./ ha recorded the lowest (12.51% leaf damage) incidence of C. medinalis and it was at par with thiodicarb 75 WP @ 783.33 g a. i. /ha (13.27%) in controlling the pest which also reflected on grain and straw yield of paddy and did not have any significant effect on the spiders population in the paddy field when applied at evaluated doses.
