Online published on 4 March, 2024. Abstract Present study was undertaken to determine the bioefficacy of pre-mixed insecticide combinations, against aphids in okra. The data revealed that spinetoram 0.003 + sulfoxaflor 0.008%, chlorantraniliprole 0.005 + lambda cyhalothrin 0.002% and pyriproxifen 0.005 + fenopropathrin 0.015% were found effective in bringing down the aphid population on okra and were significantly at par with each other. The next best treatments were thiamethoxam 0.005 + lambda cyhalothrin 0.004%, flubendamide 0.008 + thiacloprid 0.008%, indoxacarb 0.01 + acetamaprid 0.006% and spinosad 0.001%. The highest yield was obtained in spinetoram 0.003 + sulfoxaflor 0.008% (50.46 q/ha), chlorantraniliprole 0.005 + lambda cyhalothrin 0.002% (49.54 q/ha) and pyriproxifen 0.005 + fenopropathrin 0.015% (49.44 q/ha).
