abstract
An experiment was conceded to study the field efficacy of certain insecticides and botanicals against caseworm on paddy in Rice and Wheat Research Centre, Malan during kharif 2017. Dinotefuran 20 SG (200g ha^-1) was found most efficacious among other formulations followed by monocrotophos 36SL (850 ml ha^-1) and chlorpyriphos 20 EC (1250 ml ha^-1) in checking rice caseworm. After botanicals, eupatorium, melia, neemazal and neem oil application proved effective while neem oil was the least effective treatment. Present discovery of the Dinotefuran 20 SG (200g ha^-1) and Eupatorium could aid in better management of the rice caseworm population in paddy fields.
