abstract
An experiment was conducted during Kharif season in 2015 at the Agricultural Research Farm, SHUATS, Allahabad to observe the effect of four applications of seven insecticides viz: Monocrotophos 36%SL, Chlorpyriphos 20%SP, Flubendiamide 20%WG, Cartap hydrochloride 50%SP, Fipronil 5%SC, Imidacloprid 17.8%WP, Acephate 75 %SP on natural enemies of insect pests in rice field under agro-climatic condition of Allahabad. Results revealed that all the treatments were effective significantly to suppress the population of Coccinellids as compared with control (1.32 Coccinellids/hill). The treatment Monocrotophos recorded lowest population of Coccinellids with (0.63 Coccinellids/hill) and found to be superior among all other treatments. This was followed by Acephate (0.69 Coccinellids /hill), Flubendiamide (0.74 Coccinellids/hill), Cartap hydrochloride (0.74 Coccinellids/hill), Fipronil (0.82 Coccinellids/hill), Chlorpyriphos (0.85 Coccinellids/hill) and Imidacloprid (0.93 Coccinellids/hill) respectively.
