Among the four acetamprid 20 SP (0.125g/ml) proved highly effective against Aphis craccivora compared to the rest of the pesticides with mortality of 98.75 per cent. In case of dosage wise acetamprid 20 SL (0.125g/ml) and imidacloprid17.8 SL(0.25ml/l)proved to be highly effective with mortality percentage of 98.33 and 86.66, respectively.
