Abstract

Tomato pin worm Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) is one of the most destructive pests. This experiment was undertaken to evaluate the performance of selected insecticides (chlorantraniliprole 18.5SC @ 0.3 ml/l, spinosad 45SC @ 0.3 ml/ l and profenophos 40% + cypermethrin 04%EC @ 2ml/ l) during 2021 and 2022 under open field conditions. Results revealed that chlorantraniliprole 18.5 SC performed well in reducing the larva (2.80 and 2.60 larva/ plant), live mines (1.10 and 1.20/ plant) and fruit damage (7.58 and 6.08%) followed by spinosad larva (3.40 and 2.80 larvae/plant), live mines (3.40 and 3.20/ plant) and fruit damage (8.13 and 10.12%) during 2021 and 2022, respectively.
