The experiment field experiment was conducted at the farm of Pomology Research Centre, Vasantrao Naik Marathwada Krishi Vidyapeeth, Parbhani during 2016-17 and 2017-18 to evaluvate bio-efficacy of chemicals such as PII 8007 20% SC @ 15,20 and 25 g ai/ha Cyantraniliprole10.26% OD, Lambda- cyhalothrin 5% EC and Spinosad 45% EC against fruit borer on pomegranate alongwith untreated control. Results indicated that sprayings of PII 8007 20% SC @ 25 g a.i./ha can significantly reduce the infestation of fruit borer of pomegranate with significant increase in yield. All the insecticidal treatments were significantly superior than untreated control in reducing pomegranate pests i.e. fruit borer population during both the seasons viz., Ambia bahar, 2016 and Ambia bahar, 2017.
