Abstract:
Five target crops—wheat, maize, chickpea, groundnut, and soybean—were the subject of laboratory tests to determine the compatibility of termiticides as seed treatment chemicals, specifically chlorpyriphos, imidacloprid, and fipronil, with recommended insecticide doses (@ 3, 3, 5, 5, and 4 ml/kg seed) for imidacloprid in five test-crops, as well as with bio-fertilizers (@ For the other two termiticides, namely chlorpyriphos 20 EC (@ 2, 5, 7, 6 and 4 ml/kg) and fipronil (@ 4, 5, 5, 5 and 3 ml/kg seed), the same combinations (with biofungicide and biofertilizer) were examined for test-crops including wheat, maize, chickpea, groundnut, and soybean, respectively.

The in-between paper approach (Agarwal, 1995) is used, and the results of the in vitro experiment support the following crop-specific recommendations for efficient, complementary seed treatment measures (4 g/kg for the biocontrol agent and 25 g/kg for the biofertilizer). To confirm the impact of different combination treatments on root nodulations, a supporting pot study for the pulse crop (chickpea) was conducted.
1) Imidacloprid @ 3 ml/kg + Azotobacter for wheat. 2) Imidacloprid @ 3 ml/kg + Trichoderma + Azotobacter. Fipronil @ 4 mg/kg with Azotobacter. Fipronil, Trichoderma + Azotobacter, 4 mg/kg.
Imidacloprid at 3 mg/kg plus Azospirillum; Imidacloprid at 3 mg/kg plus Trichoderma + Azospirillum; Fipronil at 5 mg/kg plus Azospirillum; Fipronil at 5 mg/kg plus Trichoderma + Azospirillum; Maize.
1) Imidacloprid @ 5 ml/kg + Mesorhizobium for chickpea. 2) Fipronil @ 5 ml/kg + Mesorhizobium 3) Fipronil @ 5 ml/kg + Trichoderma + Mesorhizobium 4) Imidacloprid @ 5 ml/kg + Trichoderma + Mesorhizobium.
Groundnut: 1) Imidacloprid @ 5 mg/kg + Bradyrhizobium 2) Imidacloprid @ 5 mg/kg + Trichoderma + Bradyrhizobium 3) Fipronil @ 5 mg/kg + Bradyrhizobium 4) Fipronil @ 5 mg/kg + Trichoderma + Bradyrhizobium.
Soybean: 1) imidacloprid at 4 mg/kg plus R. japonicum, 2) imidacloprid at 5 mg/kg plus Trichoderma + R. japonicum 3) fipronil @ 3 mg/kg + R. japonicum 4) fipronil @ 3 mg/kg + Trichoderma + R. japonicum.
The effectiveness of these suggestions may be investigated in the field, and although the insecticides employed in this study are mainly termiticides, suggestions may also be utilized to control sucking insect pests in the target crops.
