| Abstract |
Spinosad, Protecto, Virotecto and the chemical insecticide Selecron were used to suppress population of the potato tuber moth (PTM) Phthorimaea operculela (Zeller) on potato tubers in stores. Spinosad (0.125 WP) a new biochemical agent at a rate of 1.5kg/ ton of potato tubers showed almost 100% reduction of PTM infestation and kept the tubers clean for four months. It gave the best result through all treatments, for both tuber infestations and gallery numbers. Bacillus thuingiensis subsp kurstaki (Protecto 10% WP) and Granulosis virus (Virotecto 4% WP) at a rate of 150 gm/ton each, and Profenfos (Selecron 72% EC) treatments at a concentration of 10 ppm could be used as a good tool for protecting potato tubers only for a short period (45 days).
