Abstract

Spinetoram (Exalt 60 SC), a new chemical in the spinosyn class of insecticides, was evaluated for efficacy against Diamondback Moth or DBM [Plutella xylostella (Linnaeus) in the Philippines. The field trials were conducted in three Benguet locations, namely, La Trinidad, Atok and Buguias. Four rates of Spinetoram at 15, 20, 30 and 45 g ai/ha were evaluated for control of DBM population and agronomic parameters (phytotoxicity, insect/DBM damage, quality of harvest and yield) versus commercial standards Pyridalyl, Chlorantranilipore, Flubendiamide and Spinosad at their recommended label use rates. Results showed that Spinetoram provided better control of DBM population, less DBM damage, better quality of harvest and higher yield versus commercial standards Chlorantraniliprole and Flubendiamide. Moreover, the different treatments of Spinetoram also exhibited comparable to better DBM control and other above mentioned agronomic parameters versus commercial standards Spinosad and Pyridalyl.
