- Observation Castor semilooper larvae remained active on castor from the 30th to the 47th standard week.
- Observation The maximum castor semilooper larval population was 6.1 larvae per plant at the 32nd standard week.
- Observation The maximum castor semilooper larval population was 6.2 larvae per plant at the 38th standard meteorological week, due to high rainfall.
- Association Evening relative humidity showed a positive relationship with the castor semilooper larval population (r 0.577).
- Association Rainfall showed a positive relationship with the castor semilooper larval population (r 0.650).
- Intervention effect One day after spraying, thiodicarb at 468 g was the best toxicant against castor semilooper.
- Intervention effect Three days after spraying, novaluron at 100 g was the most effective insecticide against castor semilooper.
- Intervention effect Seven days after spraying, novaluron at 100 g was the best toxicant against castor semilooper.
- Intervention effect Novaluron at 100 g was the overall most effective insecticide, with a 75.97 mean per cent reduction in castor semilooper larval population.
