abstract
The present investigation was undertaken regarding evolution of newer insecticides against aphids (A. punicae) on pomegranate at Department of Horticulture, VNMKV, Parbhani. The different newer insecticides were acephate, buprofezin, clothianidin, diafenthiuron, fipronil, flonicamid, spiromesifen and thiamethoxam were used. The pooled data of Ambia and Hasta bahar showed that the count of aphids in the insecticide treatments was significantly lower indicating that all evaluated insecticides were significantly effective against aphids. The best treatment to control pest population was the plants treated with clothianidin which found to be at par with thiamethoxam and flonicamid. The succeeding better treatment were fipronil > acephate > diafenthiuron > spiromesifen > buprofezin, respectively.
