Mungbean crop sown during the monsoon period in the Punjab was found to be
heavily infested by Amrasca devastans (Distant). Field trials were conducted
for its control using chlorfenvinphos, fenitorthion, tetrachlorvinphos,
malathion as 0.075% sprays; carbofuran, mephosfolan, dioxacarb, endosulfan,
monocrotophos, phosalone, vamidothion as 0.05%; dimethoate 0.03% and endrin
0.02% high volume sprays at 100 L/ha. All these insecticides were quite
effective and caused significant reduction in the jassid population. Excepting
monocrotophos, two sprayings of these insecticides done in the first and last
week of September, 1969 resulted in significant increase in the yield of
grains. [ASI

Heliothis armigera Hb. is one of the most injurious pests of mungbean pods.
The damage caused to the pods ranged between 40 and bO%. A chemical control
trial with Metasystox 0.1%, methyl parathion + DDT 0.1%, dimethoate 0.1% and
formothion 0.1% was conducted at Government Agriculture Research Farm,
Durgapura (Jaipur) in 1971. The insecticides were applied at the time of pod
formation. The incidence of pod borer was recorded before and 24, 48 and 72
hours after spray and yield was recorded at harvest time. Results showed that
methyl parathion + DDT 0.1% was effective against pod borer. Yields of all
treatments were significantly better than non-treated check. [THH]

Pod borer, Euchrysops cnejus Fabr., is the most destructive on kharif
mungbean in West Bengal, India. The peak period of the pest activity is July to
August. The larva bores into the pods of all stages. This paper describes the
life history, host plants and distribution of the pest. [THH]

Euchrysops, a pest of kharif legumes such as pigeonpea, blackgram,
mungbean, cowpea and beans, was recorded on pea during February - March 1975 at
Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh. The infested pods were characterized by a small circular
hole on one side at the middle portion of the pod. The larvae remained inside
the pod and fed on the developing seeds causing considerable damage to the
