The analysis of pooled data revealed that, the soil application of Chlorantraniliprole 0.4% G @ 8 Kg/ha + Chlorantraniliprole 18.5% SC @ 0.15 ml/l+ Cypermethrin 10% EC @ 0.5 ml/l followed by Fipronil 0.3% G @ 8 Kg/ha + Chlorantraniliprole 18.5% SC @ 0.15 ml/l+ Cypermethrin 10% EC @ 0.5 ml/l proved their supremacy by documenting mean percent dead heart of 2.60 and 2.73 percent, respectively. Similarly same treatments recorded 87.65 and 78.64 during 2021-22, 87.27 and 77.37 percent reduction over control 2022-23, respectively.
