Abstract

Different concentrations, viz. 5, 10 and 25 ppm of aldicarb, carbofuran, phorate fensulfothion and fenamiphos were observed for their pesticidal effects on chickpea plant in terms of various plant growth parameters such as plant length as well as weight, pod numbers, root-nodulations and chlorophyl content. Significant improvement in plant growth was noted in lower concentrations such as 5 and 10 ppm of different pesticides but 5 ppm concentration proved highly effective and non-phytotoxic. The phytotoxic effect was noted in those plants treated with 25 ppm concentration of all the pesticides. Carbofuran was found to be most effective for improvement of over all plant growth and fensulfothion the least.
