Germination percentage in sorghum with different seed dressers and their effect on oviposition of sorghum shoot fly
Year: 2017
Type: article
Abstract: The present research was conducted to study the germination percentage in sorghum with different seed dressers and their effect on oviposition of sorghum shoot fly during 2013-14. The results revealed that the treatment thiamethoxam 35 FS @ 5 ml/kg seeds recorded highest percentage of germination (92%) and all the treatments were significantly superior over control (68%). Other seed dressers which recorded better germination in order of merit were imidacloprid 17.8 SL @ 10 ml/kg (90%), chlorpyriphos 20 EC @ 4 ml/kg (80%), carbosulfan 25 EC @ 6 ml/kg (74%) and cartap hydrochloride 50 SP @ 2 g/kg (72%) germination. Maximum numbers of eggs were observed on the cartap hydrochloride 50 SP@ 2 g/ kg treated seed plot. The yield data indicate that the treatment with thiamethoxam 35 FS @ 5 ml/kg seed produced highest grain yield (3462 kg/ha). The maximum net monetary returns 1:56.25 (ICBR) were realized by the treatment thaimethoxam 35 FS@5 ml/kg seed.
