Abstract


Field experiments were conducted at the College of Agriculture, Dhule during the kharif 2005 and rabi 2005-06 to test the bio-efficacy of  a ready mixture of indoxacarb 14.5 + acetamiprid 7.7 SC (RIL-042 222 SC) against sucking pests and fruit borer on chilli. The treatments RIL-042 222 SC @ 500 ml/ha and RIL-042 222 SC @ 400 ml/ha were significantly superior in reducing the incidence of sucking pests and fruit damage by Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner) in both the seasons followed by acetamiprid 20 SP @ 200 g/ha. The treatment RIL-042 @ 500 ml/ha also registered highest green chilli fruit yield (49.6 and 49.53 q/ha, respectively) during both the seasons.
