A field trial was laid out at the College Farm, College of Agriculture, N. A. U., Bharuch (Gujarat) to evaluate the efficacy of newer insecticides against chiku moth, Nephopteryx eugraphella Ragonot infesting sapota during 2012–13 to 2014–15. All the treatments were observed to be significantly superior over control. Considering the effectiveness, yield, net return and economics, flubendiamide 39.35SC @ 0.0096% was found to be the most effective followed by emamectin benzoate 5SG @ 0.0022% and spinosad 45 SC @ 0.009%.
