A field experiment comprised of seven insecticides was conducted at farmers field in endemic area of pest in Kolhapur district particularly area nearby riverbank during 2009-2010. The application of newer insecticides was done by drenching and the granules were applied along with dry soil. Soil drenching of imidacloprid 40 per cent + fipronil 40 per cent - 80 WG @ 300 g ha-1 was found to be most effective treatment for control of white grub followed by clothianidin 50 WDG @ 250 g ha-1, flubendiamide 480 SC @ 400 ml ha-1 and rynaxypyr 0.4 per cent G @ 125 g -1.
