INFLUENCE OF PESTICIDE SPRAYS ON SEED QUALITY CHARACTERISTICS OF LABLAB (LABLAB PURPUREUS (L.) SWEET VAR. TYPICUS PRAIN) CV.CO 1

摘要

Abstract : Studies were made with lablab cv. CO1 to evaluate the influence of pesticide sprays (malathion, endosulfan, and monocrotophos) on seed yield and seed quality characters including storability. The results revealed that spraying of endosulfan0.07ml lit~(-1) as two sprays at 50% flowering and 15 days thereafter enhanced the seed yield and seed quality characters of resultant seed. On storage, the resultant seeds obtained from plots sprayed with endosulfan also found to have zero bruchid infestation with higher seed quality characters.
