Abstract:
The research trail was conducted at a farmer field Awaran District to evaluate the efficacy of different insecticides for the management of onion thrips (Thrips tabaci) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) on onion crop during Kharif season 2018. Six treatments (Five insecticides and control) were replicated four times in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD). Five insecticides Mospilan 20SP @ 125 gm/acre, Thiodan 35EC @ 600 ml/acre, Confidor 200SL @ 80 ml/acre, Curacron 500EC @ 500 ml/acre and Neem oil 10% @ 250 ml/acre were applied twice 15 days intervals at ETL. All the insecticides were significantly better than untreated check in reducing pest population after both applications. Thiodan 35EC proved best followed by Curacron 500EC and Mospilan 20SP.
