Abstract

Effect of seed treatment with insecticides, fungicides and their combinations on the occurrence of dead hearts due to shootfly Atherigona approximata was studied. Monocrotophos followed by chlorpyriphos and phosalone at 4 ml per kg of seed were effective in reducing dead hearts caused by A. approximata. The fungicides, thiram and carbendazim individually or in combination were ineffective in reducing dead hearts caused by shootfly.
