Abstract
The banana pseudostem weevil (BPW) Odoiporus longicollis (Oliver) (Coleoptera: Curculiondae) is a serious pest of banana. An experiment was conducted with cultivar Rasthali having eleven treatments during 2016 and 2017 to evaluate some insecticides and non-edible oils/cakes against BPW. The results revealed that except mahua and castor oil cakes@ 1 kg/plant along with fertilizer application all others gave reduction in damage, and number of life stages of BPW. The injection of botanicals (2% neem oil) at monthly interval from 5−8th month led to more damage as compared to injection of insecticides namely, 2% monocrotophos 36SL and chlorpyriphos 20EC at monthly intervals from 5–8th month. The use of carbofuran 3G@ 750mg ai/plant in soil at 0, 2nd, and 5th month followed by leaf axil application @375mg ai/plant at 7th month and carbofuran 3G @ 375mg ai/plant at 5th, 6th and 7th month in leaf axil resulted in minimum damage and reduction in life stages of weevil, indicating that these could be recommended.
