- Abstract
Efficacy of sulfoxaflor 12 SC was evaluated for the control of aphids on wheat crop during 2014-15 and 2015-16 crop seasons at Entomological Research Farm, Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana. It was compared with thiamethoxam 25 WDG and quinalphos 25 EC. The observations on the number of aphids per earhead were recorded before spray, 1, 3, 7, 10 and 14 days after application of insecticide. During both the years, all the insecticidal treatments were significantly better than control. The population of aphids per earhead was significantly lowest in sulfoxaflor 12 SC @ 24, 27 and 30 g a.i./ha, being at par with each other and standard thiamethoxam 25 WDG @ 12.5 g a.i./ha and quinalphos 25 EC @ 250 g a.i./ha followed by sulfoxaflor 12 SC @ 21 g a.i./ha. The pooled analysis of two years trials showed that yield was significantly higher in treated plots than in control. Among all the treatment, significantly higher yield was obtained in sulfoxaflor 12 SC @ 24, 27 and 30 g a.i./ha (44.55, 44.77 and 45.00 q/ha) and was at par thiamethoxam 25 WDG @ 12.5 g a.i./ha (44.47 q/ha) and quinalphos 25 EC @ 250 g a.i./ha (44.22 q/ha).
