Abstract

The study was conducted under tropical lowland conditions at 100m above sea level in Cagayan de Oro City to evaluate the efficacy of using pesticide adjuvant and to identify which insecticide is most effective to control the infestation. There was no significant difference among the treatments on the rate of lepidopterous infestation in cauliflower curds. However, there was no sign of infestation when pesticide adjuvant was added to commercial neem (Azadiractha indica) extract. Using linear regression, infestations in cauliflower curds influenced the marketable yield of cauliflower. It was highest on those applied with synthetic pesticides with and without adjuvant (six and seven tons/ ha, respectively) and was in the control treatment with and without adjuvant (both at five tons/ ha). However, no significant difference was noted among treatments at the 5% level of DMRT.
