Abstract/ Executive Summary:

An experiment was conducted to study the effectiveness of Mocap 5G (Ethoprophos) and Furadan 3G (Carbofuran) at various doses in different times in controlling white grubs (WG) and Top shoot borer (TSB) of sugarcane during the cropping season 1986-87 at Pratap Farm under Setabganj Sugar Mills Ltd, Dinajpur. Data collected in June showed that Furadan 3G at single application in March at three different doses (2, 3, 4 kg a.l./na) showed 81.62-88.02% reduction of TSB infestation over control followed by Furadan 3G applied at 2.0 kg a.i.lha in March and April (72.87%). White grub population was reduced in all the treatments which were statistically significant over control. Mocap 5G @ 2.5 kg ai.lha gave highly significant reduction of grub population followed by Mocap 5G @ 2.0 kg a.t/ha, Furadan 3G @ 2.0 kg a.i/ha (standard dose) and Mocap 5 G @ 2.5 kg ai/ha had almost similar response in controlling white grubs. The cost benefit ratio of Furadan use at various doses either single or split application during the study comes to 1 : 2.31 to 3.41.

Keywords: Granular pesticides,Whitegrub,Mocap 5G,Top shoot borer,Sugarcane

Location: In Pratap farm under Setabganj Sugar Mills, Dinajpur

Start Date: 00-00-1986

End Date: 00-00-1987

Program Area: Pest Management

Commodity: Fungicide

Objectives:

The present study was carried out with Mocap 5G and Furadan 3G at different time combination to find out the probable solution of the problem

Methodology:

An experiment was conducted in the cropping season 1986-87 in Pratap farm under Setabganj Sugar Mills, Dinajpur and laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCB). There were three repncanons having eight treatments including one control. The individual plot size within the replication was 8x12 m. Within the block the gap between the plots was 1 m but along the cane rows the distance was maintained by 2 buffer rows of canes.

Achievement/Findings:

From the present findings it was also revealed that Mocap 5G @ 2.5 kg a.i'/ha might be suggested as an alternative to Furadan for controlling the grubs only. The treatment showed 93.61% effectiveness in reducing the WG population. The yield increase due to the treatment was 90%.
