Semul shoot borer is a serious pest of semul plantations. An effort was made to control the pest by using two granular insecticides viz furadan and sevidol. Post treatment evaluation after 48 hours showed that sevidol at 6g/plant (81.25% kill) was found more effective than furadan 6g/plant (52.98% kill) and 8g/plant (59.70% kill).
