“…Use of botanicals for stem weevil management can be of use to develop ecofriendly IPM. Botanical pesticides are emerging as promising one now (Reddy et al, 2020), as these are environment friendly (Bhagawati et al, 2009;Awasthi et al, 2016). Using neem oil (Azadiracta indica), crude extract of Lantana camera and Gliricidia sepium are known to be effective against O. longicollis (Irulandi et al, 2009); also monocrotophos (4ml/ plant) in combination with azadirachtin (2ml/ plant) by stem injection proved to be more effective compared to monocrotophos.…”

“…For decades, banana crop was treated with pseudostem injections of monocrotophos, phorate, carbofuran, quinalphos, cypermethrin, dimethoate and triazophos (Kannan et al, 2021). Insecticides were injected into the stems of plants at monthly intervals from the fifth to seventh month of crop age (Reddy et al, 2020). However, in India, pesticides previously used in bananas, such as monocrotophos and triazophos, were restricted/banned(Central insecticide board and registration committee, 2022).Emamectin benzoate, a green insecticide compound effective against pseudostem borer, is now used by farmers in major banana-growing districts of Tamil Nadu in India.Emamectin benzoate is a macrocyclic lactone insecticide derived from the aver-mectin series of natural products (Dybas et al, 1989).As a foliar insecticide, it acts by stimulating the release of γ-aminobutyric acid to inhibit neurotransmitters, causing insect paralysis and subsequent death, and protects crops from coleopteran (Grosman and Upton, 2006) and lepidopteran pests (Jansson et al, 1996).…”
