Abstract
Granular formulations of phorate, lindane and quinalphos were tested under field conditions in demonstration cum trial plots at CPCRI, Research Centre, Palode during 1977-1980. Trials proved that granular formulations of lindane and phorate, applied to the innermost two or three leaf axils @ 10 g per palm at quarterly intervals, in March, June, September and December effected significant control of the spindle bug population in the field. The cost of the insecticide granule+labour for treatment of 100 palms worked out to Rs. 301- for lindane and Rs. 381- for phorate.
