Six species of insects infested pigeonpea, chickpea, moth bean, blackgram,
soybean, pea and mungbean, and the percentages of yield loss are tablated.
Fourteen varieties of mungbean, 10 of blackgram and 4 of cowpea were screened
for resistance to the flea beetle (Monolepta nigrobilineata) and the jassid
(Empoasca kerri). All varieties were found susceptible to both pests. Chemical
control of pod borers was conducted during 1963-1966. There was significant
reduction in pod borer incidence in the treatments, while the yields of the
treated were not significantly different from the untreated checks. [THH]

In a study to determine the persitence of carbaryl, a soil insecticide, it
was found that this insecticide reduces the germination of mungbean. At a
concentration of more than 30 ppm, both the germination and survival of the
plants decreased markedly. [THH]

Various insecticides were tested for controlling galerucid beetle
(Madurasia obscurella Jocoby) and jassid (Empoasca kerri Pruthi), the serious
pests of kharif season pulses, viz., mungbean, blackgram, cowpea and pigeonpea
in northern India. In a replicated mungbean field trial, insecticides were
applied in soil at the time of sowing. They included mephosfolan 10 G;
disulfoton 5 G; phorate 10 G; and Sevidol 4 G at 2.0 kg; 1.5 kg; 1.5 kg; and
2.0 kg/ha, respectively. Spraying with carbaryl 0.25% WP; monocrotophos 0.05%
EC; endosulfan 0.05% EC and lindane 0.1% EC was done twice when the crop was 4
weeks and 6 weeks old. The insecticidal treatments resulted not only in the
reduction of the damage and in population of the pests, but also contributed to
spectacular plant growth and increase in the grain yield. Phorate was the most
effective in reducing the damage caused by the galerucid beetle, followed by
mephosfolan. For the control of the jassid, disulfoton was the best treatment.
