The present experiments were conducted during three consecutive kharif seasons (2015-17) to study the effect of commercially available insecticides formulations, Emmamection Benzoate 0.5% SG (0.5 gm/ litre of water),Quinalphos 25% EC (2.0 ml/ lit.), Novaluron 10 % EC (1.0 ml/ lit.), Neem oil 2% (20 ml/lit.), Karanj oil 2% (20 ml/lit.) against the Spotted pod borer, Maruca vitrata in Clusterbean. The descending order of most effective insecticide was: Emmamection Benzoate>Quinalphos > Novaluron. During 2015 year the maximum population reduction over control was found after 7 days of application of second spray at 15 days of interval viz., 77.21 and 66.83 percent due to Emmamection Benzoate, Quinalphos respectively. A similar trend was found in 2016 and 2017. Thus, Emmamection Benzoate was found most effective against the Spotted pod borer, Maruca vitrata Geyer (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) in Clusterbean.
