SUMMARY Omethoate, formothion, monocrotophos and carbaryl were the most effective of a number of insecticides evaluated as foliar sprays for the control of Empoasca lybica on eggplant. The duration of insecticidal activity was about 20 days, three sprays being required during the season. Disulfoton, carbofuran and terbufos granules applied to the soil at the rate of 0.1 g a.i./plant c . 1 month after transplanting gave control of jassid throughout the season and a significant yield response.
