Five treatments viz. Kurifost 40EC, Asophate 75SP, Lorsban 40EC, Curacron 400EC and Control plot were tested in three replicates. Curacron 400EC showed the best control against cotton mealybug population. Asophate 75SP and Lorsban 40EC did not notably lower the mealy bug population while Kurifost 40EC failed to produce any result. It is suggested that Asophate 75SP and Lorsban 40EC can be applied during initial or low mealybug infestation, however Curacron 400EC should remain as the last option during heavy infestations of the mealybugs in cotton crop.
