Studies on comparative efficacy of insecticides and bio-agents against cutworm infesting potato Konar A.1, Roy P.S.1,2, Paul S.1 1Department of Agricultural Entomology, Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya, Mohanpur-741 252, Nadia, West Bengal, India. 2Department of Zoology, Ramkrishna Mission Brahmananda College of Education, Rahara, Kolkata-700 118, West Bengal, India. Abstract The efficacy of insecticides and bio-agents against cutworm were compared in a field experiment. Carbofuran was most effective in reducing the plant damage caused by the pest for a long period and gave more number of marketable tubers and healthier tuber yield as well. Out of the bio-agents, Metarrhizium anisopliae was most effective against cutworm, but not at par with chemical insecticides. Top | | |
