Abstract
The research, conducted at the Agriculture Research Institute Swabi in 2022, sought to ascertain the most potent insecticide against Tuta absoluta. Findings unveiled a comprehensive evaluation of various synthetic insecticides in terms of diminishing T. absoluta infestations, mine formation, and leaf damage subsequent to spray applications. Remarkably, Coragen consistently emerged as the most efficacious, exhibiting superior performance in reducing pest populations, mine formation, and leaf damage. Belt, Woolmer, and Chlorfenapyr followed suit in effectiveness, while the Discount treatment consistently demonstrated the lowest efficacy throughout the study.
