Abstract

The results of a field trial conducted in Raichur, Karnataka, India, during the rabi seasons of 2003-04 and 2004-05 on the bioefficacy of chemicals as seed treatment of Sorghum bicolor cv. M 35-1 against shoot fly and shoot bug showed that treatment with thiamethoxam 70 WS at 2 g/kg recorded lower infestation of dead heart (7.9%) with less shoot bug population (5.83/5 plant), and higher grain yield (31.93 q/ha) besides, higher fodder yield (56.92 q/ha). Imidacloprid 70 WS at 5 g/ha, endosulfan 35 EC seed soaking (8 h) at 2 ml/litre/kg and carbosulfan 25 DS at 40 g/kg were the next best treatments and were on par with each other
