- Intervention effect Emulsion concentrate insecticides increased potato yield in the first set of field trials.
- Intervention effect Quinalphos 1.5% dust and phosalone 4% compared well with emulsion concentrate insecticides in potato profit due to protection.
- Intervention effect The dust and granular formulations significantly reduced plant and tuber damage by cutworms on potato in the second set of trials.
- Intervention effect The dust and granular formulations significantly increased potato yield in the second set of trials.
- Intervention effect Phorate, oftanol and phoxim resulted in greater potato profit margin.
- Recommendation Phorate, oftanol or quinalphos granules and dusts applied at hoeing are recommended to reduce cutworm damage to potato economically.
