Abstract:
Field experiment was conducted during Rabi season of 2015-16, 2016-17 and 2018-19 at Maize Research Station, Sardarkrushinagar Dantiwada Agricultural University, Khedbrahma to study the effect of newer insecticides against mustard whitefly, Bemisia tabaci on mustard. Experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with nine treatments. The least population of whitefly after first and second sprays during the three years was registered in plots treated with seed treatment with imidacloprid 600 FS @ 5 ml/kg seed + spray of flonicamid 50 WG @ 2.0 g/10 lit. Water (0.01%). It was followed by seed treatment with thiamethoxam 35 FS @ 6 ml/kg seed + spray of flonicamid 50 WG @ 2.0 g/10 lit. Water (0.01%). It also explicated that the highest seed yield of mustard with maximum profit was recorded in plots treated with seed treatment with imidacloprid 600 FS @ 5 ml/kg seed + spray of flonicamid 50 WG @ 2.0 g/10lit. Water (0.01%). It was followed by seed treatment with thiamethoxam 35 FS @ 6 ml/kg seed + spray of flonicamid 50 WG @ 2.0 g/10 lit. Water (0.01%).
