Abstract:

The present study was carried out to evaluate various management treatments against major sucking pests of okra. In precount data of aphid and leaf hopper before first spray was significant. Because of seed treatment of thiamethoxam 35% FS to all seed before sowing except untreated control seeds it showed a significant difference in aphid and leaf hopper population in precount. The evaluation of various pesticides for their field efficacy against aphid and leaf hopper revealed that dimethoate 30% EC consistently provided the most effective and rapid reduction in sucking pest populations across all observations, maintaining the lowest pest population. The treatment dimethoate 30% EC (T6) followed by Azadirachtin 10000 ppm @ 1ml/l (T2) was found effective against aphids as well as leaf hopper for reducing the pest population throughout the crop growth. In order to next treatments Dashparni showed moderate and reliable control, significantly reducing sucking pest populations compared to other pesticides.
