Abstract

Efficacy of Metasystox 25 EC, Rogor 30 EC and Monocil 36 SL at three different concentrations, i.e. 0.025, 0.05 and 0.075 per cent was tested against Kusala salicis. The concentration 0.075 per cent was observed to be most effective resulting in more than 70.0 per cent and 88.0 per cent control at 3 days after spray and 15 days after spray, respectively. However, 0.025 per cent concentration was ineffective in providing desirable control of pest population. All the respective concentrations of the three insecticides were statistically at par in controlling the pest population.
