Item On the control of the jassid Amrasca Biguttula biguttula (Ishida) on bhindi using some new insecticides(Kerala Agricultural University, 1976) Nair, M R O K; Christudas, S P; Susamma MathaiItem Control of the insect pests affecting cowpea Vigna Sinensis(Kerala Agricultural University, 1977) Das, N M; Susamma Mathai; Christudas, S PIn a field experiment conducted in the red soil of Agricultural College Farm, Vellayani applying thimet, disulfotan, rnephosfolan and carbofuron granules at three different levels, applied at the' time of sowing, disulfoton at 1 kgai/ha was found an effective and economic method for controlling pea aphid upto 5 weeks after sowing. In another field experiment it was observed that spraying of different insecticides commencing from the time of flowering along with one application of disulfotan granules at the rate of 1 kg ai/ha at the time of sowing reduced the incidence of pea aphid and pod borers and increased the yield significantly. On a benefit cost ratio basis the effective insecticides could be ranked as follows: f enithion >f enitrothion > monocrotophos > carbaryl > phosalone > quinalphos.Item Toxicity of newer insecticides to the coconut caterpillar Nephantis Serinopa Meyr and its parasite Bracon Brevicornis Wesmeal(Kerala Agricultural University, 1978) Kunjamma P Mathew; Nair, M R G K; Abraham, C CThe LD 50 levels of toxicity of phosalone, endosulfan, malathion, quinalphos, fenthion, phosphamidon. monocrotophos, fenitrothion, dichlorvos, BHC and carbaryl to 4th instar larvae of the coconut caterpillar Nephantis seringa were 0.02428, 0,02925, 0.05288, 0.05614, 0.08416, 0.09477, 0.09833, 01013, 0.1639, 0.2920and 0.4990 respectrvely. Toxicity of residues of dichlorvos 0.05%, fenitrothion, 0.05%, malathion 0.05% on coconut leaves to 1st instar larvae of N. serhwpa had become negligible on the 8th day of their application and that of residues of quinaiphos 0.05%, phoslone 0.05% and BHC 0.2% on the 16th day of application; residues of carbaryl 0.2%, and monocrotophos 0.02% showed toxicity beyond 16 days. Toxicity of residues of the same concentrations of dichlorvos, fenitrothion, fenthion, endosulfan and phosphamidon on coconut leaves to adults of Bracon brevicomis had become negligible in 8 days of application and that of residues of malathion, quinaiphos, phosalone and BHC in 16 days of application; residues of monocrotophos and crabaryl remained toxic to parasites beyond 16 days.Item Toxicity of insecticides against populations OE Amrasca Biguttula biguttula (Ishida) infesting bittergourd from four districts of Kerala(Kerala Agricultural University, 1994) Sabitha, R; Sosamma Jacob; Rao, D SA study was undertaken to assess the relative toxicity of five insecticides against different populations of Amrasca Iriguttula bigiittula collected from four districts of Kerala. Variations were observed in the toxicity of insecticides against different populations.Item Dissipation ok quinalphos and monocrotophos residues in cardamom Capsules(Kerala Agricultural University, 1998) Thomas Biju Mathew; Visalakshi, A; Naseema Beevi, S; Rajan Asari, P A; Rajagopal, BThe paper describes the results of a field experiment conducted in the Cardamom Research Station, Pampadumpara, to study the dissipation of two insecticides used for controlling cardamom thrips and to fix their waiting periods. The results showed that the residues of quinalphos reached below the tolerance limit of 0.25 ppm within 23 to 24 days in fresh cardamom and within 20 to 21 days in cured cardamom. The corresponding periods for monocrotophos did not differ between fresh and cured cardamom (22 to 23 days) because of the systemic nature of the residues.
