Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

Eight insecticides were evaluated as seed treatments against termite in chickpea, and imidacloprid 600 FS (5 ml/kg) was found to be the most effective followed by thiamethoxam 30 FS (5ml/kg) and imidacloprid 17.8 SL (5 ml/kg). Imidacloprid 600 FS @ 3 ml/kg seed, clothianidin 50 WDG @ 2g/kg and fipronil 5 SC@ 4 ml/kg seed were found moderately effective. The maximum grain yield (1346 kg ha−1) was observed with imidacloprid 600 FS (5 ml/kg) and this also gave maximum profit (Rs 17362 ha−1). However, maximum incremental cost benefit ratio of 35.19 was obtained with only fipronil.
