abstract
Field experiment was conducted at Pearl Millet Research Station, Junagadh Agricultural University, Jamnagar during Kharif 2016 to 2018 to find out the effective and economical control measures against shoot fly and stem borer in pearl millet crop. The results showed that the seed treatment of clothianidin 50 WDG @ 7.5 g/kg seed followed by spray of fipronil 5 SC @ 0.01% at 35 days after germination was found effective against shoot fly. Whereas, the seed treatment of clothianidin 50 WDG @ 7.5 g/kg seed followed by spray of chlorantraniliprole 20 SC @ 0.006% at 35 days after germination was found effective against stem borer. The highest additional income (Rs. 17940/-) and net return (Rs. 15975/-) was recorded with the seed treatment of clothianidin 50 WDG @ 7.5 g/kg seed followed by spray of fipronil 5 SC @ 0.01% at 35 days after germination.
