phorate 10G, mephosfolan 5G, disulfoton 5G (Disyston 5G), disulfoton 5G
(Solvirex 5G), carbofuran 3G and aldicarb 10G reduced whitefly population and
yellow-mosaic infection in mungbean [Vigna radiata (Linn.) Wilczekj. The
maximum benefit : cost ratio was obtained with 1 application of any of the 6

The larvae of Euchrysops cnejus Fabr. attack mungbean pods of all stages by
boring at the basal part of the pod and feed on the seeds. [THH]

A field insecticide screening was conducted at Bontobili, Indonesia in
1971. The pest of importance at the time was limabean pod borer (Etiella
zinckenella). The insecticides were applied four times at 4, 15, 35, and 60
days after emergence. All of the insecticides gave significantly higher yields
than the nontreated check. Chlorpyrifos and cyanofenphos were superior in
reducing pest infestation. Chlordimeform produced some phytotoxic affects on
plants. [THHJ

Aldicarb (Temik 10 G), carbofuran (Furadan 10 G), disulfoton (Solvirex 5 G)
and Phorate (Thimet 10 G) were tested for the control of jassids infesting
mungbean (Vigna radiata) crop. Application of granules of these insecticides
(in the sandy soil) at 1.5 to 2 kg a.i./ha in the seed-furrows at the time of
sowing during July proved quite effective for 5 to 6 weeks in controlling
Amrasca devastans (Distant) infesting the monsoon crop. Yield of grains was
sigqificantly increased in the treated plots. Aldicarb and carbofuran enhanced
the germination of the seeds. Disulfoton and phorate did not depress the
germination either but they caused scorching of leaves in many young plants
which, however, seldom died. Application of these granular insecticides in the
premonsoon crop (sown in April) was not found necessary because of the very low
population of Empoasca tabaci (Distant) infesting the mungbean crop sown during
this season. None of the four insecticides proved effective in checking the
incidence of the yellow mosaic disease transmitted by Bemisia tabaci Genn.
