Abstract
Complete protection of sorghum with several combinations of phorate, carbaryl and Thuricide (a preparation of Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. thuringiensis) against insect pests, especially Atherigona soccata Rond. (A. varia soccata) and Chilo partellus Swinh. in Uttar Pradesh, India, gave significant yield increases as compared with no treatment. The greatest increase (over 126%) was afforded by a treatment programme comprising a soil application of 10% granules of phorate at 1.5 kg/ha at sowing, 6 applications of granules containing 4% carbaryl in the leaf whorl at 0.6 kg/ha and a single spray application of carbaryl at 0.8 kg/ha at flowering. Thuricide at 1 kg/ha was found less effective than carbaryl in protecting the crop from C. partellus and insects attacking the earhead. A. soccata was not such a serious pest as C. partellus, reducing yield by 19.98% as compared with 80% for C. partellus
