Abstract
Tomato fruit borer (Helicoverpa armigera) significantly reduces tomato yields in Afghanistan. This study aimed to identify the most effective insecticide for its control in Laghman province, seven treatments were evaluated in randomized complete block design with three replications. These included a control (T1), Lambda-cyhalothrin 2.5% EC (T2), Emamectin Benzoate 1.9% EC (T3), Cypermethrin 10% EC (T4), Deltamethrin 2.5% EC (T5), Chlorpyrifos 40% EC (T6), and Confidor 20% SL (T7). According to our results of the experiment revealed that Emamectin Benzoate (T3) demonstrated the highest efficacy in suppressing tomato fruit borer compared to the control, which had an average of 9.96 larvae per plant, T3 exhibited a significantly lower larval count of 1.63 per plant. Additionally, T3 significantly increased the average number of fruits per plant and achieved the highest total fruit weight (1801.36 g). In terms of infested fruits, T3 recorded the lowest number (1.56) and weight (132.10 g) per plant. Furthermore, the percentage of infested fruits (7.51%) in T3 was remarkably lower than the control's 50.40%, highlighting its strong effectiveness. Our results suggest that Emamectin Benzoate (T3) emerged as the most effective insecticide in preventing tomato fruit borer compared to all other tested treatments.
