Abstract

 Relative bioefficacy of clothianidin 0.5%G @ 30, 40, 50, 60, and 80g a.i. ha-1, carbofuran 3%G @1000g a.i. ha-1, and thiamethoxam 25 WDG @ 25g a.i. ha-1 were evaluated against sucking pests (whitefly and aphid) and their natural enemies in okra at Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya, Nadia, West Bengal for two consecutive seasons of 2011 (rabi) and 2012 (pre-kharif). Among these, clothianidin @ 60g to 80g a.i. ha-1 against whitefly and aphid was found superior over other doses of clothianidin, carbofuran and thiamethoxam. With regard to the fruit yield, clothianidin @60g a.i. ha-1 was found statistically superior over others. Also the granular formulation of clothianidin didn’t exhibit any adverse harmful effect on predatory natural enemies in okra ecosystem.
