Abstract

Incidence and damage of shootfly and stem borer vary in time and space and is reflected in low grain yields of pearl millet at farmers fields. An IPM schedule was tested against shootfly and stem borer. Results indicated that seed treatment with Gaucho 70WS 5 g/kg seed + Neem oil 5% spray at 30 DAG + endosulfan 4% dust at 50% flowering gave maximum yield and was superior to farmer's practice.
