When
caterpillars are far beyond economic threshold level affecting your crop what
strategy you would take to control the larvae? A new generation molecule developed against Lepidopteron
pests (largest order of insects comprising moths and butterflies.)From our
experience larvae of this order, this assumes a major pest of crops not only in
rice but vegetables to be controlled most frequently. We used to give our
recommendations in the form of application of contact insecticides as we think
about chemical method of controlling pests. .Now a new generation molecule, Flubendiamide
is found to be useful in controlling larvae of many pests. This insecticide
contains Green Triangle mark shows its less toxicity. From experience it is
seen that the result of application becomes obvious from third day of
application.
