Field trials conducted during wet seasons of 2010 and 2011 at Regional Research and Technology Transfer Station, Chiplima, Sambalpur to evaluate the efficacy of a new molecule cyazypyr (HGW 86 10%OD) against yellow stem borer and gall midge infesting rice revealed that the test compound at 100 and 120 g a.i. ha^-1 was highly effective in reducing stem borer incidence (71.01 to 88.80 per cent reduction over control during the period of study), whereas, the compound exercised a moderate effect on gall midge (57.7 to 58.01 per cent reduction over control). The check insecticides like monocrotophos and triazophos were observed to be less effective than the test compound.
