An Integrated Programme for Controlling Pests and Diseases of Sesamum

Abstract

                                Field experiments were conducted during khariff and rabi seasons of 1974 and 1975 to evolve an integrated schedule of treatment against pests and diseases. Two rounds of foliar treatments were given at 40th and 60th days after sowing. In the khariff season, application of dithane M-45 0.2 per cent combined with endosulfan or fenthion 0.5 kg e.i/he was effective in controlling powdery mildew, Alternaria blight, aphids and gallfly. In the rabi season when the incidence of powdery mildew was heavy, Miltox 0.25 per cent combined with either endocultan or tenthion at 0.5 kg a.i/ha was best followed by dithane M-45 0.2 per cent combined with carbaryl 1 kg ai/ha or endosulfan or fanthion 0.5 kg a.i/ha.
