Abstract : The efficacy of endosulfan, malathion, carbaryl, cypermethrin, azadirachtin and imidacloprid, at 1, 2 or 3 sprayings, in controlling the mango hoppers Amritodus atkinsoni and Idioscopus spp. was determined in a field experiment conducted in Andhra Pradesh, India from November 2001 to May 2002. One, 2 and 3 sprayings of imidacloprid resulted in the highest, whereas sprayings with malathion resulted in the lowest reduction in the number of the mango hoppers.
