Abstract

                                Two field trials were conducted separately to assess the efficacy of certain sprays and dusts against pod borers and podfly on redgram. Two rounds of treatments were given, the first at 50 per cent flowering and the second 15 days after the first round. Among the sprays, deltamethrin 0,002% was the most effective in reducing the infes tation of pod borers and podtly and recording the highest yield. The next in the order was endosulton 0.07%. Among the dusts, undosulfan 4% was superior in reducing the infestation of pod borers and podlly and recorded maximum yield followed by Phoxim 1,5% dust.
