Laboratory experiments were conducted to study the persistence toxicity of Thiamethoxam 25 WDG (@20g, 25g, 30g and 35g ), Imidacloprid SL and Dimethoate 30%EC against adult apterous black legume aphids in cowpea as foliar spray. After 24 hr of exposure, Thiamethoxam persisted for 11, 15, 15 and 23 days when applied at dosages of 20g ., 25g ., 30g . and 35g ha respectively. Imidacloprid and Dimethoate persisted for 21 and 13 days when applied at 25 ml . and 300 ml respectively. | Studies on persistence toxicity of thiamethoxam 25 WDG, imidacloprid SL and dimethoate 30 EC against aphis craccivora koch. in Cowpea
