Abstract:
The present investigation was studied with the title "Compatibility potential of Steinernema bicornatum with insecticides in laboratory condition” and the work was carried out in the Post Graduate laboratory of Entomology Section, College of Agriculture Nagpur during 2020-21 with aim to test the compatibility of CIB registered insecticides with entomopathogenic nematode Steinernema bicornatum. The compatibility of S. bicornatum with combination of thiamethoxam 25% WG, diafenthiuron 50% WP, imidacloprid 17.8% SL, chlorantraniliprole 18.5% SC, indoxacarb 14.5% SC, cypermethrin 10% EC, chlorpyriphos 20% EC with double the recommended dose was found compatible with all treated insecticides except cypermethrin 10% EC and chlorpyriphos 20% EC which were found incompatible with S. bicornatum.
