Abstract
The relative efficacy of 3 insecticides as granular or seed treatments against Atherigona soccata Rond. was investigated on sorghum in India. Under moderately heavy infestation, all the treatments were effective. Disulfoton 5G granules at 3.0 g/m row proved to be somewhat less effective than carbofuran 50 SP at 5 parts/100 parts seeds, or carbofuran 3g or fensulfothion 5G granules at 3.0 g/m row at the time of sowing. Residues of disulfoton in the soil were reduced to nondetectable levels in 45 days, while carbofuran and fensulfothion persisted for up to 60 days. Sufficiently high quantities persisted in the plant tissues up to the twenty-fifth day, but residues were not detectable in the fodder after 70 days. Residues of carbofuran (as seed treatment), disulfoton and fensulfothion persisted in the green earheads at 0.3, 0.2 and 0.4 p.p.m., respectively
