Mango hopper, (Idioscopus niveosparsus Leth) is an important pest of mango causing severe yield losses. Experiments were conducted at Regional Fruit Research Station, Vengurle to manage mango hopper on Alphonso variety with different insecticides alone and in combination with spreader during 2013-14 to 2016-17. Five different insecticides viz., buprofezin, spinosad, azadirachtin, acetamiprid and thiamethoxam were used alone and in combination with a spreader. From the pooled results, it is revealed that for management of mango hopper the treatment of thiamethoxam + spreader was found most effective (99.06%). Also, the same treatment recorded maximum yield (56.27 kg/tree).
