Abstract
Field experiments were conducted at Regional Research Station farm, Paiyur, India during 2014-2016 in vegetable field bean under rain fed conditions to study the efficacy of insecticide molecules viz., Novaluran, Rynaxiper, Emamectin benzoate, Spinosad, Flubendanide, and Indoxicarb along with untreated check was evaluated for the management of vegetable field bean pod borer complex. The two season results indicate that Flubendanide 480 SC 0.4 ml/lit was found to be the best chemical for the management of pod borer complex in vegetable field bean (Mochai) in terms of higher larval reduction (96.1 per cent), lower pod damage (4.40 per cent) translating into higher green pod yield (2,340 Kg/ha) and monetary returns (Rupees 15,853 net profit/ha) with no residue deducted at test concentration. The other promising treatments with distinct advantage were Indoxicarb 14.5 SC @ 0.5 ml/lit and Emamectin benzoate 5 SG 0.2 g/lit which can be used for cost effective management of pod borer complex in field bean
