Abstract
Insecticidal dusts containing 10% HCH (BHC), 5% fenitrothion, 5% malathion and 5% carbaryl were applied once or twice at 25 kg a.i./ha to April- and September-sown sorghum fodder crops in the Punjab, India, 7 and 14 days after germination for the control of Atherigona soccata Rond. On the basis of the number of eggs laid and the number of dead-hearts, 1 and 2 applications of HCH were generally most effective against the pest. However, the other 3 treatments were as effective as HCH in some cases. The maximum yield of green fodder was obtained with 2 treatments with HCH dust in both experiments. Two applications of HCH dust gave the most consistent results with regard to control of the pest and increased yield
