Field experiments were conducted during 2015–16 to evaluate the efficacy of certain insecticides against mango hoppers Amritodus atkinsoni and Idioscopus clypealis. Imidacloprid was observed to be the most effective with no leaf hoppers even 21 days after application; and it was on par with thiamethoxam (0.02), acetamiprid (0.15) and carbosulfan (0.76). Buprofezin (1.23) and fipronil (1.54) were the next best. Based on fruit yield, the order of efficacy was: imidacloprid (with 75.33 kg/tree) > thiamethoxam> acetamiprid> carbosulfan >buprofezin >fipronil as against 44.50 kg/tree in untreated control.
