Abstract
A field trial was carried out in Maharashtra, India, during the kharif (hot) season of 1980 in which an attempt was made to study the relationship between the deadhearts caused by Atherigona soccata and grain and fodder yields in the sorghum variety CSH-5 under conditions of low, moderate and heavy infestation by the pest. The intensity of infestation was low, moderate and heavy in early, normal and late sowings, respectively. There was a significant negative correlation between percentage deadhearts and grain and fodder yield for all 3 sowing dates. For each 1% increase in deadhearts, there was a reduction in grain yield of 32.3, 65.6 and 62.0 and in fodder yield of 36.5, 50.9 and 58.0 kg/ha for early, normal and late sowings, respectively
