An economic evaluation of GM control methods showed that on Jaya all controls produced more profit than no treatment. Including phorate G in the control schedule gave $300 profit/ha compared to $86 with quinalphos alone. The benefit-cost ratio indicated that seedling root dip followed by broadcast phorate G at 25 DT gave maximum profit. The second best treatment was phorate applications at 25 and 45 DT. Phorate G implanted in mudballs at 25 DT following seedling root dip was effective and economical, but is a cumbersome process and may be less acceptable to farmers. Maximum protection cost more than $100/ha, which was high for a farmer of marginal land. Seedling rootdip followed by phorate G at 25 DT gave the maximum benefit-cost ratio of 8.78:1 and cost only $39/ha. GM-resistant Shakti, with no insecticide treatment, gave a $547 profit/ha.
