Abstract
Three different insecticides viz., Polytrin-C, Danitol and Monitor each at the rate of 0.1, 0.15 and 0.2 per cent were tried against whitefly (Bentisia 'abaci), Jassid (Amrasca devastans) and tingid bug attacking sunflower crop. Danitol 0.2% gave maximum mortality of 89.5, 91.2 and 90.7% in case of jassid, whitefly and tingid bug, respectively, after 24 hours of spray followed by Polytrin-C 0.2% with 85.4, 84.4 and 88.3% mortality while Monitor 0.1% proved to be the least effective with only 63.4, 58.4 and 61.3% mortality of three insect species.
