abstract
Field experiment was conducted to study the rate of dissipation of pheromone in wax based SPLAT and powder formulation during kharif and rabi 2018 and 2019 seasons. The results clearly revealed that the formulation can be used effectively for the management of paddy yellow stem borer with slow release of pheromones in the field and proved its presence even after sixteen weeks of exposure in the field with more than 20 per cent of pheromone was still remaining in the formulation.
