Field experiments were conducted during Kharif 2011 to evaluate the efficacy of six insecticides against sucking insect pest jassids (Amrasca biguttula biguttula) on okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L.). Spraying of difenthiuron 50 WP @ 300 g a.i./ha was found significantly more effective and the next treatment Thiamethoxam 25 WG @ 25 g a.i./ha was also significantly effective in controlling jassid population.
