Evaluation of newer insecticides against plant hoppers in rice under field conditions at Agricultural Research Station, Kampasagar, Nalgonda, Telangana during Kharif 2015-16. The insecticides viz., Ethripole 40+Imidacloprid 40W.G @125 g/ha, Ethofenprox 10% EC @750 ml/ha, Buprofezin 25% S.C. @825 ml/ha, Pymetrozine 50 WG @250 g/ha, Acephate 75% S.P. @667 g/ha, Monocrotophos 36% S.L. @1390 ml/ha, Sulfoxaflor 24% S.C. @ 375 ml/ha and untreated control were evaluated against brown plant hopper. All the treatments were effective for management of brown plant hoppers than untreated control. Among these, Sulfoxaflor 24% S.C. @ 375 ml/ha was found minimum brown plant hopper population and with mean per cent reduction was higher at 1, 3, 7 and 10 days after spraying. The maximum grain yield was recorded on Sulfoxaflor 24% S.C. @ 375 ml/ha compared to other treatments.
