necessary to use both the pesticides and fertilizers. [AS]

In the Punjab, India, mungbean, blackgram and pigeonpea are attacked by a
number of sucking pests like whitefly, jassid and aphids when the crops are in
the vegetative phase ut growth. Specimens of jassid were collected from the
experimental area during the 1979 crop season. The specimens collected were
identified to be Empoasca moti Pruthi and E. terminalis Distant. [THH]

Mungbean, Jawahar 45, was sown on 16 July 1982. At the pod forming stage,
100 randomly selected plants were tagged for observations. Mature pods were
plucked from the tagged plants on 30 September to 15 October at 5-day intervals
to record the percentage of pods and seeds infested by pod borer, Pachytychius
mungonis Marshall. The weight of 100 hc'lthy and 100 infested seeds were
recorded to assess the losses. The pest infested 9.53 to 28.60% of pods and
2.37 to 10.24% of seeds. The weevil was 5.59% of seeds and the larva devoured
98.2% of seeds by weight. ITHHJ

The treatment combinations involving I to 2 sprays of monocrotophos each at
0.4 kg a.i./ha gave significant reduction in the population of the jassids
[Empoasca terminalis Distant, Empoasca moti Pruthi and Amrasca blguttula
biguttula (Ishida)] up to 24 days after the application of each spray, The
maximum reduction from 52 to 96 % was recorded within 10 days after the
application of each spray. The seed-furrow application of carbofuran and
phorate (each at 1.5 kg a.i./ha) singly or in combination with fertilizers (N
12.5 kg + P 40 kg/ha) was inffective in controlling the jassids. The use of
fertilizers alone did not affect the population of jassids. However, there was
a tendency to Jucrease jassid population due to application of fertilizers. [AS]

A field trial was conducted to test the efficacy of insucticidal seed
treatment in controlling the pod borers of blackgram with Co 2 variety. All
treatments were given at flowering stage. There was significant difference
among the treatments in reducing the pest damage. Among the insecticides
tested, carbofuran seed treatment was effective; this treatment gave superior
