Indiscriminate use of pesticides leads to undesirable load of pesticide residues in marketable vegetables (Kumari et al., 2005) and cause severe ecological consequences like destruction of natural enemy fauna, effect on non-target organisms and directly effect in the form of residues. Hence studies were conducted for the efficacy of different insecticides used commonly and also to establish the dissipation pattern of relatively safer insecticides to fit in pest management strategy. |
