Control of Termite by Using Different in Secticides in Sugar Canes Crop

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted during 2011–12 and 2012–13 at farmer field in Hardoi district of Uttar Pradesh. Experiment was laid out in RBD with six treatments and four replications. Insecticides viz. chlorpyriphos 50% EC, phorate 10% CG, cartap hydrochloride 4% GR, fipronil 0.3% GR and carbofuran 3% CG were tested to find out their effectiveness for controlling sugarcane termitesas well as growth and yield of sugarcane. Insecticide like phorate 10% CG, cartap hydrochloride 4% GR, fipronil 0.3% GR and carbofuran 3% CG were applied @ 20 kg ha−1 at the time of sowing while chlorpyriphos 50% EC was used for cane setts treatment followed by application 30 days after planting @ 1.5 litre ha−1. Sugarcane variety Co-86032 was planted in first week of Octoberduring both the years at 5×1 fit in 25 cm deep trenches. Least population of termites was found in Fipronil 0.3% GR treated plot and all the insecticides were found significantly superior over control during both the years. Data on yield attributes (tillers & milleable cane) also generated and found maximum number of tillers and milleable cane under fipronil 0.3% GR and all the treatments have higher number of tillers and milleable cane over control. Yield of cane significantly increased over control in all treatments and maximum sugarcane yield was also found in fipronil 0.3% GR (T5) followed by chlorpyriphos.
