Abstract

Seed sample of sorghum (AKMS-14A) of kharif 1995 affected by rain and having 62 per cent germination was treated with fungicides insecticides alone and in combinations and stored. Important seed mycoflora Fusarium monliniforme and C. lunata was very effectively controlled by Thiram + Bavistin Insecticides like endosuIfan, carbaryl and monocrotophos reduced the incidence of fungi. No synergistic or antagonistic effect at any combinations was noticed indicating the compatibility of combinations tried under test.
