ABSTRACT
Field experiment was conducted for two consecutive years during 2008-09 and 2009-10 at the Agricultural Research Farm, College of Agriculture, CAU, Iroisemba, Imphal. The two years pooled results revealed that, microbial insecticide, spinosad (success 2.5%sc) @500 ml /ha proved to be the most effective against the major insect pests of cabbage i.e., Plutella xylostella (0.82 larvae/5plants) Brevicoryne brassicae (3.60 aphids/5plants), Lipaphis erysimi (1.97aphids/5plants), Pieris rapae (0.19 larvae/5plants), P. brassicae (0.78 larvae/5 plants). spinosad was followed by conventional insecticide with malathion (asamal 50% E.C.) in its efficacy in all the insect pests of cabbage. However all the insecticidal treatments were significantly superior over control?
