Abstract
Carbofuran 50 SP at 5% a.i. w/w, carbofuran 3 G slurry seed treatment at 0.15 kg a.i., endosulfan at 0.05% and a 10% BHC [HCH] dust were tested against Atherigona soccata on sorghum (CSH-5 sown early or late) in the field in Maharastra, India, in the kharif seasons of 1982-84. Carbofuran SP was highly effective in reducing damage by the pest and gave the highest grain and fodder yields, followed by carbofuran granular slurry treatment. Endosulfan and HCH did not give satisfactory control. However, the incremental cost:benefit ratio was highest for the carbofuran granule slurry treatment at both sowing dates. Net profit was highest in the case of carbofuran SP treatment, followed by granular carbofuran slurry treatment. Carbofuran granules have low inhalation toxicity and they are easily available in the market. Hence, under conditions of low to moderate shootfly infestation, granular carbofuran slurry treatment may be used for reducing pest damage and increasing yield
