%X The performance of five granular insecticides i.e Furadon, Sunfuran, Agridan, Asocarbo and Rotap against maize borer (Chilo partellus) in corn hybrid 4208 was evaluated at Agronomic Research Area, Faculty of Agriculture, Gomal University, Dera Ismail Khan during the spring 1998. Among all the granules, Furadon 3G was the best in minimum dead hearts (7.50%), damaged cobs (3.50%) production, grain/cobs (527.8) production, maximum 1000-grain weight (245.5 g) and grain yield of 6.325 t ha-1 respectively. Other granular insecticides were least effective than Furadon, however better than control.
