EFFECT OF DIFFERENT IPM MODULES ON SHOOT FLY Atherigona soccata (Rondani) DEAD HEARTS, GRAIN AND FODDER YIELD OF KHARIF SORGHUM.

A field trial was scheduled at Sorghum Research Station, VNMKV Parbhani (MS) India. Management of shoot pests of sorghum Randomized Block Design (RBD) with seven treatments and three replications were used. In management of shoot pests different IPM apparatus used against shoot fly dead hearts at 28 DAE Pooled data kharif 2018-19 and 2019-20. Extensively minimum per cent of dead hearts were recorded in the treatment T4 [Seed treatment with imidacloprid @ 3g ai/kg seed+ Bacillus thuringiensis20 ml/10 lit. of water at 35 DAE] (8.61 %) and all the treatments are statistically at par with each other except untreated control. In perception of grain and fodder, highest 29.08 and 69.39 q/ha yield was recorded in treatment T5   (FA of Carbofuron 3g @ 20 kg/ha + WA of carbofuron 3g @ 8 kg/ha at 35 DAE).
