Discussion

Field experiment evaluated neonicotinoid insecticides on whitefly infestation, suggesting effective pest management in okra crops.

Foliar application of thiamethoxam markedly reduced whitefly populations by up to 86.6%.
The most effective treatment was thiamethoxam 25% WG at 50 g ai ha-1, yielding a notable crop increase.
Thiamethoxam formulations remained effective up to 45 days post-seed treatment, ensuring prolonged pest protection.
All tested insecticides except dimethoate showed compatibility with beneficial insects, emphasizing sustainability.

Dubey et al. (2025) studied this question.
