Field trials were conducted at Agricultural Research Station, Kawadimattii, during kharif 2010-11 and 2011-12 to evaluate the efficacy of new anthranilic diamide, Cyantraniliprole (Cyazypyr) (HGW 86) 10.26 % OD at different dosages for the management of insect pests of brinjal (Solanum melongenaL.). The standard insecticides viz., Chlorantranilprole 18.5% SC, Spinosad 45% SC and Imidacloprid 17.8% SL were used for comparison. Overall, the field trials revealed that, Cyantraniliprole 10.26 %w/w OD @ 90 g a.i/ha provided cross-spectrum control of insect pests as it registered lowest number of hoppers (0.26/leaf), whitefly (0.40/leaf), thrips (5.16/leaf) at 10 days after application and also recorded lowest percent fruit damage by shoot and fruit borer (1.09%) and highest yield of 49.70 t/ha during season I. Whereas the standards, Chlorantranilprole, Spinosad and Imidacloprid recorded a yield of 42.17, 42.28 and 23.86 t/ha, respectively. The same trend was noticed during season II (2011-12). The studies indicated that Cyantraniliprole 10.26 %w/w OD @ 90 g a.i./ha can be recommended in an Integrated Pest Management Program (IPM) of brinjal for the management of insect pests and harnessing higher yield.
