Abstract:
In field tests carbofuran 3G, phorate 10G and triazophos 40EC were found effective in suppressing opulations of Meloidogyne incognita, Tylenchorhynchus vulgaris, Hoplolaimus indicus, Xiphinema sp., andLongidorus sp., in soybean. The height of the plants and bean yield were also increased by these treatments. Carbofuran (3G) at 3 kg a.i./ha was found to be most effective with 88.7% increase in pod yield followed by triazophos (40 EC) at 1.5kg a.i./ha and phorate (10G) at 3 kg a.i./ha resulting respectively, in 46.2 and 34.9 % increases in pod yield over untreated control.
