Efficacy of different insecticides against aphid, Lipaphis erysimi (Kalt.) on Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz in Pakistan

Camelina sativa is a flexible, summer annual oil-seed crop that can be grown in different climatic and soil conditions. In Pakistan, aphid, Lipaphis erysimi (Kalt.) has been found a potential pest of this crop. Two varieties of C. sativa (Canadian and Australian) were sown in field. Efficacy of different insecticides formulations at recommended doses were tested in field against Lipaphis erysimi. The data of adult percent mortality of L. erysimi were recorded after 24, 48, 72, 96 and 120 hours. Acetamaprid and mospilon were found more effective as compared to profenophos and diafenthiuron. The results of this study will help in the management of aphid for important oil seed and relatively newly introduced C. sativa crop in Pakistan.
