Year: 2022
Type: article
Abstract: A field experiment conducted at the sorghum research field, College of Agriculture, Indore Madhya Pradesh during kharif 2019-20 evaluated six seed dressing chemicals along with soil application of carbofuran against shoot fly Atherigona soccata (Rondani). Significantly least deadheart (1.36 to 15.95%) was observed with thiamethoxam+ cyantraniliprole followed by thiamethoxam 30FS (1.61 to 21.76%). Soil application of carbofuran resulted in less efficacy (2.96 to 38.21%). The mean yield obtained was 29.13 q/ha in protected plots as against 16.20 q/ha in unprotected plots. Mean deadheart incidence was 11.59% in protected plots and 58.23% in unprotected plots. The avoidable loss in term of deadheart was recorded to be 80.10%.
