Field experiments were conducted to study the efficacy of the insecticide Cyclaniliprole 10% DC at 300, 350, 400, and 450 ml ha⁻¹, along with two standard checks: Chlorantraniliprole 18.5% SC at 150 ml ha⁻¹ and Abamectin benzoate 5% SG at 200 g ha⁻¹, against lepidopterous insect pests infesting the chilli crop at Rajasthan College of Agriculture, Udaipur, during Kharif 2020 and 2021. The chilli variety Tanaya was sown in a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with seven treatments and four replications. The results showed that Cyclaniliprole 10% DC was equally effective at 400- and 450-ml ha⁻¹ in controlling fruit borer (Helicoverpa armigera) and tobacco caterpillar (Spodoptera litura) on the chilli crop, and was more effective than other standard treatments. The highest mean yield of chilli was recorded in the treatment of Cyclaniliprole 10% DC at 450 ml ha⁻¹, which was 15.05 t ha⁻¹ and 15.26 t ha⁻¹ during the respective years, compared to the control.
