A Study on the Control of Rice Whorl Maggot Hydrellia philippina Ferino

Abstract

                                Use of diazinon 1 per cent, monocrotoplios 0.1 per cent or carbofuran 1 per cent as seed treatment checked the whorl maggot effectively while fenthion 0.05 per cent was least effec- tive. The observations on germination percentage and plumule and radicle growth showed that chlorfenvinphos 0.05 per cent had some adverse effect. Orthene 0.1 per cent was found to have low inhibitory effect on germination and stimulatory effect on plumute and radicle growth.
