    Insect-Pests of Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] and Their Management
    (COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE, UMMEDGANJ, KOTA, 2020-09-10) PARMAR, DEVESH; Chaudhary, H. R.
    The present investigation on “Insect-Pests of Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] and Their Management” was conducted during kharif, 2019 at Agricultural Research Station, Ummedganj, Kota. The results revealed that among the sap feeding insects whitefly and jassid were reported on the crop almost all cropping period. Maximum infestation of whitefly (7.8/3 trifoliate leaf) observed in first week of September, whereas maximum number of jassid (2.8/3 trifoliate leaf) was recorded in third week of September. In case of relative efficacy, two spray application of Thiacloprid 21.7 SC @ 750 ml/ha was found most effective in reducing the nymph and adult of both the observed insect pests. Among the defoliators viz., tobacco caterpillar (2.4 larvae/mrl), green semilooper (3.2 larvae/mrl), gram pod borer (1.4 larvae/mrl), red hairy caterpillar (2.0 larvae/mrl), bihar hairy caterpillar (2.4 larvae/mrl) and grasshopper (2.4 nymph and adult/mrl) observed predominately on crop varying different crop stages. Chlorantraniliprole 18.5 SC @ 150 ml/ha was found most effective among the various insecticides against these dreaded insect pests on crop in all the stipulated period. In case of borers, girdle beetle has been observed predominant insect pest and its infestation increases as the crop stages up to 26.20 per cent. Application of Chlorantraniliprole 18.5 SC @ 150 ml/ha prevented increasing infestation up to 12.24 per cent. The maximum seed yield, additional yield, avoidable yield loss and additional returns over control was also obtained from the plots treated with Chlorantraniliprole 18.5 SC @ 150 ml/ha
