Under field condition, the productivity of rice is affected by many biotic and abiotic factors. Among the different biotic constraints, diseases caused by fungal pathogens such as blast and sheath rot, stem rot, grain discoloration are more frequent and ferocious disease in irrigated rice of both temperate and subtropical areas and which cause damage at all stages of crop growth. Blast, sheath rot, stem rot and grain discoloration are major constrain of paddy production reported to cause extensive damage in crop production. An experiment was conducted to assess the Bio-efficacy and Phytotoxicity of Thiophanate methyl 41.7% SC against blast, sheath rot, stem rot and grain discoloration diseases of Paddy at ARS, Gangavathi. Results revealed that, among the various treatments evaluated, Thiophanate methyl 41.7% SC @ 1200 ml/ha (T3) and Thiophanate methyl 41.7% SC @ 960 ml/ha (T2) were found to be the best treatments to control blast, sheath rot, stem rot and grain discoloration during both the seasons. The phyto-toxic effects such as leaf necrosis, leaf tip injury, wilting, vein clearing, epinasty and hyponasty were recorded on ten randomly selected plants of Rice from each plot at 3 and 5 days after application (DAA) and it was noticed that no phyto-toxicity were recorded with foliar application of Thiophanate methyl 41.7% SC at all the concentrations tested i.e. 1200, 1920 and 2400 ml/ha dose during both the seasons.

Modified QuEChERS (Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged and Safe) method was used for the extraction and clean-upof chlorantraniliprole residues and determined using LC-MS/MS in the ESI positive mode. The limit of quantification (LOQ) was 0.01 µg g− 1for paddy leaf, straw, husk, and brown rice, and for soil was 0.005 µg g− 1. The obtained average recoveries were 84.30–88.92%, 94.25–97.81%, 90.21–93.38%, 93.57–96.40% and 89.93–91.14% from paddy leaf, straw, husk, brown rice and soil, respectively. The relative standard deviation was less than 9% in all the matrices. The residues in paddy leaf dissipated within 35 to 40 days with a half-life of 4.33–5.07 days in rabi and 3.92– 4.86 days in kharifat 30 and 60 g a.i. ha− 1, respectively.

Current techniques employed for PBW management have difficulty in bringing down its drastic damage levels. ‘SPLAT’ is a new strategy against this pest, in which males are confused by employing synthetic pheromone in higher concentration to mask the natural source. Trials were conducted using a wax based formulation, “Specialized Pheromone and Lure Application Technology” (SPLAT) to dispense and release the PBW sex pheromone. The field experiment was conducted at Kurudi village, Manvi taluk, Raichur district, Karnataka during Kharif 2017, with different treatments like sleeve trap and delta sticky trap at recommended dosage for mass trapping and SPLAT at three different doses of 500, 750 and 1250 g per acre, each treatment implemented in one acre area. Observation at weekly interval revealed that lowest rosette, green boll and locule damage of 6.38, 6.86 and 12.28 per cent was recorded in SPLAT @ 500 g per acre compared to 16.01, 19.41 an...

The treatments were: T1- Tolfenpyrad 15% + bifenthrin 7.5% SE @ 500 ml/ha; T2- Tolfenpyrad 15% + bifenthrin 7.5% SE @ 625 ml/ha; T3- Tolfenpyrad 15% + bifenthrin 7.5% SE @ 750 ml/ha; T4- Tolfenpyrad 15 % EC @ 1000 ml/ha; T5- Chlorantraniliprole 18.5% SC @ 150 ml/ha; T6- Bifenthrin 10%EC @ 500 ml/ha; T7- Untreated check. All the tested chemicals are effective for different pests in rice, but among the tested insecticide molecules tolfenpyrad 15% + bifenthrin 7.5% SE @ 750 ml/ha, tolfenpyrad 15% + bifenthrin 7.5% SE @ 625 ml/ha, tolfenpyrad 15%EC @ 1000 ml/ha and chlorantraniliprole 18.5%SC @ 150ml/ha can be used for the effective management of brown plant hopper. In treatment T5-Chlorantraniliprole 18.5%SC @ 150ml/ha showed highest reduction in the percent of dead heart and white ear head damage was s...

The management of cutworm S. exigua on chickpea was under taken in detail under field condition. The experiment was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of different biorationals and insecticides against S. exigua larvae at Main Agricultural Research Station, Raichur during Rabi, 2016-17. There were 10 treatments in the experiment the results revealed that the mean number of larvae per meter row length of crop was in the range of (0.51 to 4.00). Least number of larvae per meter row length was recorded in spinosad (0.51) which was on par with cypermethrin 0.57, followed by lambda cyhalothrin (1.97) which was on par with B. thuringiensis (2.04), M. anisopliae (2.10), N. rileyi (2.64). Highest mean number of larvae per one meter row length of crop was recorded in pongamia oil (4.00) followed by malathion (3.90), B. bassiana (...

At the current population growth rate of 1.5% the rice requirement projected by Indian Institute of Rice Research would be around 156mt by 2030. Fertilizers and irrigation are two key factors in increasing the rice productivity. The current blanket fertilizer applications followed by the farmers in Tungabhadra command in Karnataka are high and imbalanced resulting in huge losses of nutrients with reduced nutrient efficiency and International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences ISSN: 2319-7706 Volume 9 Number 6 (2020) Journal homepage: http://www.ijcmas.com

In order to feed the growing population India need to produce 130mt of rice by the year 2030 according to projections by Indian Institute of Rice Research, Hyderabad. Rice is grown under different establishment methods under various agro ecological conditions. In irrigated low land system it is traditionally established by manual transplanting with continuous ponding of water in the field. Due to non availability and high cost of labour, urbanization, mechanization and shortage of water availability a shift in the planting International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences ISSN: 2319-7706 Volume 9 Number 6 (2020) Journal homepage: http://www.ijcmas.com
