| Abstract: | Abstract During and after sowing of groundnuts, dust, granule and emulsion formulations of some insecticides were tried against grubs of Lachnosterna (Holotrichia) consanguinea Blanch. attacking the crop. On the basis of percentage mortality of plants due to the grubs, phorate granules at 3 kg/ha were found most effective when applied both during and after sowing. Heptachior and Thiodemeton granules at 5 kg/ha were second in merit. Post-sowing treatments with dusts and emulsions were not very effective. |
