ABSTRACT

Five insecticides viz., Chlorpyriphos 20 EC, Fenvalerate 20 EC, Monocrotophos 36 SL and Endosulfan 35 EC @ were evaluated against gall midge Dasyneeura lini Barnes on linseed cv 2023, during rabi 1998-99 and 1999-2000. Fenvalerate was highly effective for the control of gall midge, with highest grain yeild and maximum cost: benefit. Its half dose also recorded lower incidence with comparatively higher grain yeild and cost : benefit which was on par with Monocroptophos, Chlorpyriphos and Endosulfan 0.45, 0.25, 0.35 kg. a.i./ha respectively. The above treatments resulted in significant reduction of gall midge incidence (7.58 to 28.50%) as compared to 47.48% in untreated plots
