The treatments tried in experiment were carbofuran (@0.5 kg a.I./ha), carbofuran (@ 1.0 kg a.I./ha), phorate (@ 0.5 kg a.I./ha), phorate (@ 1.0 kg a.I./ha), endosulfan (@ 0.5 kg a.1./ha) endosulfan (@1.0 kg a.1./ha), Sevidol(@ 0.5 kg a.I./ha), Sevidol (@1.0 kg a.I./ha), quinalphos (@ 1.0 kg a.I./ha) and control (no insecticide). Granules were applied in 1 to 3 cm deep standing water at 25 and 50 days after transplanting. Among the insecticidal treatments carbofuran 1.0 kg a.I./ha was the best and significantly superior to all other insecticidal treatments for the control of yellow rice borer. This treatment was also the most effective treatment against rice leaf roller.enAGRICULTURAL ENTOMOLOGY, AGRICULTUREA STUDYThesis
