Abstract
The experiments were conducted during the Kharif season 2022 at two different geographic locations i.e. Adaptive Research Farm, Karor, District Layyah, Punjab, Pakistan and at farmer's field (Chak No. 245/TDA, Tehsil Karor, Distt Layyah) using cluster bean variety BR-99 with seed rate of 25 kg ha-1. The objective was to determine the efficacy of different pesticides against white fly on cluster beans under arid conditions. The experiments were designed in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with five treatments i.e. T1- Flyban 10% EC (Cholofinapyre) 11.7% w/w @ 1235 ml ha-1, T2- Decode 36 SC (Chlorofinapyre) @ 556 ml ha-1, T3- Ulala (Flonicamid 50 % WG) @ 148.26 g ha-1 ,T4 - Thiacloprid 240 SC (Calypso) @ 625 ml ha-1 and T5- (Control) with three replications. The insecticides Flyban 10% EC (Pyriproxifin) 11.7% w/w @ 1235 ml ha-1 was found significantly best against white fly of guar, after 24 hours, 72 hours and 7 days after spray. All Pesticides resulted in decreased white fly population over control and a maximum yield of 717.18 kgha-1 and 617.85 kg ha-1 was obtained at both locations at Adaptive Research Farm as well as farmer's field, respectively. Thus, it is recommended that Flyban 10% EC (Pyriproxifin) 11.7% w/w may be applied @ 1235 ml ha-1 for effective control of white fly coupled with increased yield and yield contributing traits like number of clusters plant-1, number of podscluster-1, number of pods plant-1, 1000-seed weight of guar (cluster bean).
