Subscribe/Renew Journal
Six insecticides viz; thiamethoxam, imidacloprid, acetamiprid, profenofos 40 per cent+cypermethrin 4 per cent, endosulfan @ 0.07 per cent and carbofuran with various concentrations were evaluated against shoot fly of Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L Monech) The shoot fly oviposition, plants with eggs and dead hearts were ranged from 0.95 to 2.88 eggs plant-1, 32.57 to 59.12% and 6.34 to 29.14%, respectively in various treatments as against to 1.78 eggs plant-1, 35.76% and 48.96%, respectively in untreated control. Maximum grain and fodder yields were obtained from imidacloprid @ 1.2 per cent ST treated plots i.e. 27.59 and 91.67 q ha-1, respectively and closely followed by thiamethoxam @ 0.75 per cent ST i.e. 27.50 and 81.92 q ha-1, respectively.
