Online published on 7 April, 2020. Abstract The major insect pests infesting okra were observed viz. leaf hopper, Amrasca biguttula biguttula; whitefly, Bemisia tabaci and okra shoot and fruit borer Earias vittella. The crop was treated with Acephate 75 SP at 562g a.i. ha−1 to control these pests. Dissipation study of Acephate at 562 g. a.i. ha−1 in okra friut revealed 18.4%, 34.4%, 58.9% and 100% dissipation after 1, 3, 5 and 7 days, respectively.
