Abstract

Results showed that imidacloprid @2ml, thiamethoxam and carbosulfan @2 g/kg seed were quite effective in controlling jassid (Amrasca devastans) whereas imidacloprid @2 ml thiamethoxam @2 g and carbosulfan @4 g/kg seed were effective in controlling the whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) incidence. Seed yield was higher in thiamethoxam, imidacloprid and carbosulfan treatments. Management of sucking pests of okra with the use of insecticides as seed treatment provided an opportunity to minimise the quantity of the insecticide.
