mungo to injury by important insect pests in relation to insecticidal control

Evaluation of cabbage yield in relation to the effects of insecticidal
protection (Bacillus thuringiensis sprays) during different growth periods of
the crop revealed that the injuriousness of Piutella xylostella was most
critical during the period from 4 to 5 weeks after transplanting. Feeding
injuries by the insect during earlicr and later growth periods were relatively
less critical to yield. A similar evaluation on mungbean, using insecticidal
protection with acephate, also revealed that insect pest injury, mainly by
aphids and leaf rollers, was most critical to yield when inflicted during the
vegetative growth stage (3-4 weeks after seedling emergece). Insecticidal
protection of the seedling, flowering and pod stages provided decreasing yield
benefits, in that order. Towards more judicious pesticide use, it is
recommended that insecticidal applications should provide protection during
critical periods of crop growth but not necessarily for entire crop growth. [AS]

During the summer of 1974, carbofuran seed treatment in protecting the
mungbean and blackgram from their pest insects, viz., galerucid beetle
(Madurasia obscurella), jassid (Empoasca kerr) and beanfly (Ophiomyia
phaseoli), was tested. In these studies, 2% carbofuran was used for seed
treatment whereas disulfoton 5G was applied in the soil at the time of sowing
at the rate of 1.5 kg/ha. As a result of these treatments there was a
considerable increase in the yield both of mungbean and blackgram. [THH)

Insecticides were screened for controlling beanfly (Agromyza sp.) leaf
eaters (Phaedonia sp., Longitasus sp. and Prodenia sp.) and pod borers (Etiella
sp.). Monocrotophos, mevinphos, tetrachlorvinphos and chlorpyrifos gave the
besz control of beanfly and pod borers. Those that were effective against the
pests increased the yield over the check. [THH]

Nine insecticides were tested for their effect on mungbean pests at the
Seed Institute in Harjosari, Tegal (Cental Java) during the dry season of 1975.
The insecticides were sprayed 3 times, 10, 30 and 50 days after planting at 400
1, 500 1 and 600 1 per hectare. There was no significant differen'. among the
treatments in controlling beanfly (Ophiomyia sp.), the leaf eating insects and
pod sucking insects. However, monocrotophos 60 WSC, dicrotophos 24 WSC,
carbaryl 85 SP, Lrocide 100 E, Harcros malathion 50 EC, fenetrothion 50 EC,
Fenitral 50 EC, fenetrothion 50 EC and phenthoate 60 EC were more effective in
