Abstract: The persistence and residual toxicity of insecticides of different formulations under poly house condition were determined on maize crop during spring 2013-14 and 2014-15 based on ‘PT’ values and LT50 values. The maximum ‘PT’ value was obtained in case of Carbofuran (1003.20, 1000.92) followed by Spinosad (848.85, 952.12) while, minimum was in Buprofezin (587.49, 562.22) during study years. The LT50 values were found higher in case of Carbofuran which was recorded 8.62 and 8.65 days during 2013-14 and 2014-15, respectively. While Buprofezin required the shortest time of 5.14 and 5.65 days to kill 50 per cent population of pink stem borer during 2013-14 and 2014-15, respectively.
