deadhearts). This was followed by Azagro (5%) which recorded 14.29 per cent deadhearts.<br />

Plant mixture was inferior recording 15.02 per cent deadhearts.<br />

All spraying intervals irrespective of botanicals were significantly superior over<br />

untreated check (49.25% deadhearts) (Table 15). Highest protection was offered by spraying<br />

3, 6, 9, 12 DAE (4.91% deadhearts) followed by 3, 6, 9 DAE (6.08% deadhearts) and 6, 9, 12<br />

DAE (6.00% deadhearts) being on par with each other.<br />

Interaction effect revealed that spraying NSKE (5%) at 3, 6, 9, 12 DAE offered<br />

highest protection (4.00% deadhearts) which was on par with Endosulfan 35 EC at this<br />

interval (4% deadheart).this was followed by Azagro at 3, 6, 9, 12 DAE (6% deadheart) and<br />

NSKE (5%) sprayed at 6,9,12 DAE (5.66% deadhearts) all being on par with each other and<br />

with endosulfan at these intervals.( 5% deadhert) (Table 15).<br />

Study on evaluation of spraying botanicals at different intervals against shoot fly on<br />

28 DAE in timely sown sorghum (Table 16) revealed that irrespective of spraying intervals<br />

Azagro (5%) and NSKE (5%) offered good protection (22.78% deadhearts each). But<br />

endosulfan was superior (18.40% deadhearts). Plant mixture offered least protection<br />

(23.61% deadhearts).<br />

Irrespective of botanicals, all spraying intervals offered good protection as against<br />

control (82.08% deadhearts) (Table 16). Highest protection was offered by spraying at 3, 6,<br />

9, 12 DAE (10.83% deadhearts) followed by 3, 6, 9 DAE and 6, 9, 12 DAE (13.08%<br />

deadhearts each). Spraying at 3, 6 DAE, 3, 9 DAE and 6, 9 DAE were on par with each other<br />

(18.08, 17.91 and 18.00% deadhearts, respectively) and were next best.<br />

Interaction effect revealed that the best was NSKE (5%) sprayed at the 3, 6, 9, 12<br />

DAE (10.33% deadhearts) which was on par with Azagro (5%) and plant mixture (5%)<br />

sprayed at the same interval (11.66 and 12% deadhearts, respectively). But highest<br />

protection was offered by endosulfan 35 EC (0.07%) sprayed at 3, 6, 9, 12 DAE (9.33%<br />

deadhearts) (Table 16).<br />

4.2.2.2 Late sown sorghum<br />

On 14 DAE (Table 17) the best treatment was NSKE (5%) (14.19% deadhearts)<br />

irrespective of spraying intervals. Azagro (5%) and plant mixture were on par (14.85 and<br />

15.90% deadhearts respectively). However, endosulfan recorded least damage (8.42%<br />

deadhearts) and was the most superior.<br />

Among spraying intervals, spraying at 3, 6, 9, 12 DAE proved best (4.66%<br />

deadhearts) followed by 3, 6, 9 DAE (5.66% deadhearts), 6, 9, 12 DAE (5.66% deadhearts)<br />

and were on par with each other.<br />

Interaction effect recorded 3.33 to 22.00 per cent deadhearts as against control<br />

(31.66 to 32% deadhearts) thus proved significantly superior to no protection. Among<br />

botanicals, highest protection was offered by NSKE (5%) sprayed at 3, 6, 9, 12 DAE (4.00%<br />

deadhearts) and endosulfan was on par with it at the same interval (3.33% deadhearts). Next<br />

best were Azagro (5%) at 3,6,9,12 DAE (5.66% deadheart) and plant mixture (5%) sprayed at<br />

3,6,9 DAE (5.33% deadheart), NSKE (5%) at 6,9,12 DAE (5.66% deadheart) all being on par<br />

with each other.<br />

At 21 DAE (Table 18), the best was Azagro (5%) which recorded 23.66 per cent<br />

deadhearts. NSKE (5%) and plant mixture (5%) recorded 24.14 and 24.26% deadhearts and<br />

were on par with each other but the superiority was shown by endosulfan 35 EC (0.05%)<br />

which recorded least damage (16.92% deadhearts) irrespective of spraying intervals.<br />

Irrespective of botanicals, spraying @ 3, 6, 9, 12 offered highest protection against<br />

shoot fly (9.08% deadhearts) followed by 3, 6, 9 DAE and 6, 9, 12 DAE (15.33 and 15.66%<br />

respectively). Next superior were 3, 12 DAE, 6, 12 DAE and 9, 12 DAE (17.33, 17.66 and<br />

17.33% deadhearts, respectively). Spraying at 3, 6 DAE, 3, 9 DAE and 6, 9 DAE were next<br />

best and on par with each other (20.58, 20.66 and 20.41% deadhearts, respectively). Next<br />

superior were 6 DAE and 9 DAE (23.08 and 22.83% deadhearts, respectively) followed by 3<br />

DAE and 12 DAE (24.16 and 24.75% deadhearts, respectively). All intervals proved better<br />

than untreated check (63.08% deadhearts).
