Methoxyfenozide was evaluated for the control of key lepidopteran pests on a number ofvegıetable crops and rice in Malaysia. On chilli, methoxyfenozide applied at 90-150g a.i./ha effectively reıduced the percentage of damaged fruits caused by Helicoverpa armigera. Excellent control was achievedı at 150g a.i./ha when tested on the same pest on okra. On eggplants, where Helicoverpa armigera andı Leucinodes orbonalis were key pests, methoxyfenozide at 75-150g a.i./ha appeared optimal.ı On rice, methoxyfenozide at 75g a.i./ha tested in an outbreak situation showed excellent control onı Cnaphalocrosis medinalis. In all trials, methoxyfenozide tested up to 250g a.i./ha was selective to theı crops at all stages.ı Based on the favourable profile of methoxyfenozide on beneficial organisms and its specific activity onı lepidopteran pests, it is envisioned that the chemistry will be a useful tool for IPM
