The experiment results were indicated in all locations the mortality rate percentage of the two newly introduced
insecticides (Cutter 112 E. C and Triger 5 E.C) were found to be comparable and effective to the standard check
(Diazinon 60 E.C) in controlling onion thrips, Thrips tabaci (L.) population. The yield of all treatments except
untreated check gave similar yield results compared with the standard check. Therefore, the newly introduced
insecticides Cutter 112 E.C TM and Triger 5 E.C TM could be recommended to be registered for control of onion
thrips and also both botanicals used as alternative insecticides for the control of onion n thrips
