Abstract:
Estimation of yield losses and Field efficacy of novel insecticides against leafhoppers on transgenic cotton were assessed during
kharif 2011. Estimation of yield losses due to, leafhoppers, in RCH-2BG-II, RCH-2N
Bt, Tulasi-9BG-II and Tulasi-9N
Bt under protected and unprotected conditions was done with eight treatments and three replications in Factorial Randomized Block Design. RCH-2 was susceptible and Tulasi-9 was tolerant hybrid against leafhoppers. Among the treatments; Tulasi-9 N
Bt recorded lowest yield loss (13.13%) and RCH-2N
Bt recorded highest yield loss (19.99%) followed by Tulasi-9 BG-II and RCH-2 BG-II. The bioefficacy of certain novel insecticides against leafhopper recorded Fipronil 5% SC @50g a.i. ha
-1 and fipronil 80% WG @50g a.i. ha
-1 were effective in managing leafhopper with a population reduction of 70.9% and 67.6%, respectively.
