Discussion

Randomized block design assessed bio-efficacy of chlorpyrifos and fipronil against Earias vitella, indicating significant reduction in infestation.

The combined application of chlorpyrifos and fipronil significantly reduced shoot and fruit infestations in okra.
In 2019, treatment T5 recorded the lowest shoot infestation at 6.30 shoots/10 plants and a yield of 16,342 kg/ha.
The randomized block design allowed for systematic testing of multiple treatments across two seasons.
Results highlight the effectiveness of combination insecticides in improving fruit yield while promoting sustainable pest management.

M. et al. (2025) studied this question.
