Among nineteen granular formulations evaluated against green leafhopper, thiocyclam hydrogen oxalate, fensulfo‐thion, carbofuran, BPMC, MIPC and monocrotophos possessed good persistent toxicity while thiocyclam hydrogen oxalate, MIPC and BPMC exhibited a better knockdown effect. Of the twenty three spray formulations, phosalone, isofenphos, chlorfenvinphos, triazophos, monocrotophos, carbaryl and MIPC were better for persistent toxicity whereas monocrotophos, malathion, chlorfenvinphos, UC 54229 and phosphamidon showed considerable knockdown effect. Carbosulfan was the best insecticide for seedling root dip treatment and it was also effective in combination with chlorpyriphos. Granular formulations of thiocyclam hydrogen oxalate act on green leafhopper by volatalization from surface of the soil and translocation in the plant system. Utilization of these insecticides in integrated insecticide application methodology has been suggested.
