ABSTRACT
An experiment was laid out to evaluate the effectiveness of different insecticides against white-backed plant hopper on rice crop at Entomology Section, Rice Research Institute Dokri, during summer, 2000. Five insecticides namely Thioluxan 50EC (endosulfan) at 600 ml/ac, Tamaron 60SL (methamidophos) at 400 ml/ac, Procuron 400EC (profenofos) at 500 ml/ac, Curacron 500EC (profenofos) at 250 ml/ac and Trend 60SL (methamidophos) at 400 ml/ac were tried and compared with an un-treated control. It was found that all insecticides reduced population of white-backed plant hopper significantly at 24, 48-hours and one- week of post- treatment and increased paddy yield over check plot. However, Procuran found to be significantly more effective in contrast to rest of the product tested.
