Atherigona soccata (Rond.) and Chilo partellus (Swinhoe.) are major insect pests of maize in Sahiwal Punjab, Pakistan that cause considerable yield losses. For their efficient chemical control, four insecticides (Poncho Plus 600 FS, Confidor 70 WS, Actara 70 WS and Furadan 3G) were evaluated, to determine which were most effective. The first three of these insecticides were used as seed dressing while Furadan 3G was applied alongside the seed at sowing time, with a second dose applied in the plant whorl with the second irrigation. The results showed that in autumn Confidor 70WS gave the best control against shoot fly infestation (1.61%), followed by Poncho Plus 600 FS (1.69%), Actara 70WS (2.13%) and Furadan 3G (2.88%) as compared with the control (10.87%). Poncho Plus 600 FS gave the best control against maize stem borer infestation (2.21%), followed by Furadan 3G (2.34%), Confidor 70WS (6.04%) and Actara 70WS (8.71%) as compared with the control (20.79%). In terms of yield, Poncho Plus 600 FS gave the maximum yield (6061 kg/ha) followed by Furadan 3G (5614 kg/ha). Data from 2017 revealed that Actara 70 WS gave the best control against shoot fly infestation (0%) followed by Poncho Plus 600 (0.88%); whereas Poncho Plus 600 FS gave the best control against maize borer infestation (0.88%), followed by Furadan 3G (1.32%). In terms of yield, Poncho Plus 600 FS produced the maximum yield (12,375 kg/ha), followed by Confidor 70 WS (11,681kg/ha).
