The present study aimed to assessthe safety of insecticides and botanicals forFAW management against Telenomus remus. Laboratory investigation on the effect of botanicals / insecticides on the parasitic potential of T. remus on FAW eggs revealed maximum parasitization and parasitoid emergence from chlorantraniliprole treated eggs (97.2 and 95.4 %) followed by azadirachtin, emamectin benzoate, flubendiamide and Spinetorum. Similarly, pot culture study revealed maximum parasitization (97.0%) and parasitoid emergence (90.1%) in egg masses treated with chlorantraniliprole indicating the relative safety of chlorantraniliprole to T. remus. Chlorantraniliprole and emamectin benzoate control Fall armyworm. The foregoing experimental results show that T. remus can be a good candidate for integrated FAW management.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
