Abstract:
The experiment was conducted in University of Agricultural Sciences, Bengaluru. Cowpea variety IT-38956-1 was treated with different concentrations of neemazal and neemoz-gold with deltamethrin as chemical check among which neemazal @ 2.5 ml/kg was found to be effective with 100 seed weight (11.93 g), seed moisture content (10.33%), germination (85.66%), mean seedling length (12.59 cm), mean seedling dry weight (0.75 g), seedling vigour indices I & II (1078 & 64), field emergence (79.00%) and seed damage (11.41) which is on par with deltamethrin whereas, rest of treatments though effective in controlling bruchid infestation had detrimental effects on seed quality parameters.
