pronounced in wheat than in mungbean. [ASJ

Aldicarb (Temik 10% granules) at the rate of I kg a.i./ha, phorate (Thimet
10% granules) at the rate of I kg a.i./ha and monocrotophos (Azodrin 5%
granules) at the rate of 0.75kg a.i./ha, were applied in soil before sowing.
Monocrotophos (Azodrin 60% water-soluble concentrate), oxydemeton-methyl
(Metasystox R 25% emulsifiable concentrate) and phosphamidon (Dimecron 100%
water-souble concentrate), each at the rate of 300 and 500 ml a.i./ha, were
sprayed at 28 and 48 days after sowing blackgram (Vigna mungo). All the 3
granular insecticides gave a significant control of the beanfly (Melanagromyza
phaseoli Tryon.), galerucid beetle (Madura~ia obscurella Jacoby), whitefly
(Bemisia tabaci Gennadius) and reduced the yellow-mosaic incidence and
increased the grain production significantly over the control. The residual
toxicity of these insecticides was noticed up to 48 days after application. The
interactions between granular and spray insecticides were also significant. The
combinations of aldicarb granules followed by oxydemeton-methyl or
monocrotophos sprays, phorate granules followed by oxydemeton-methyl sprays,
and monocrotophos granules followed by monocrotophos sprays reduced the
yellow-mosaic incidence and increased the grain yield of blackgram (V. mungo)
significantly over other treatments and the control. [AS]

Mungbean is subjected to attack by about a dozen pests when it is grown
either as monoculture or in rice fallows in Andhra Pradesh. Nine mungbean
varieties were screened for resistance to important pests prevalent in the
region during 1972-73 kharif season. All varieties were attacked by galerucid
beetle, jassid, leaf miner, whitefly, pod borer and stem borer at different
degrees. The application of soil insecticide, aldicarb, at the rate of 1.5 kg
a.i./ha at the time of sowing followed by foliar spraying of endosulfan at
0.07% concentration at the 4th and 6th week after sowing gave very good control
of mungbean pests and yielded five times more than untreated check. [THH]
