Abstract : The efficacy of nine insecticides was evaluated against scale insects (Aspidiotus destructor) on mangoes during 1992-93 in Buria, India. All insecticides reduced the pest population by >60%. Fenvalerate was the most efficacious, followed by methyl parathion [parathion-methyl], quinalphos, diazinon and monocrotophos (mortality averaged 85.3-93.8%).
