Abstract:

Analysis of the array of pests established S. zeamais (Coleoptera : Curculionidae) to be the principal pest which infects rice and maize storages and paves the way for the others insect pests’ infestation. S. zeamais is followed by Tribolium castaneum (Coleoptera : Tenebionidae) and Rhyzopertha dominica (Coleoptera : Bostrichidae).

Spacing, an agronomic factor, is considered as one of the key management components in any cropping system. The experiment was conducted during 2011-2012 to evaluate the effects of different levels of spacing on biophysical and biochemical parameters along with yield and yield components in cotton (Gossypium spp.) during kharif season in the fields of Vadodara Taluka. Three different levels of plant spacing 60, 50 and 40 cm with a consistent row width of 210 cm were selected. The soil of the experimental field was black clayey soil. The analysis was carried out during disparate growth stages like square formation, Peak flowering and Boll bursting stages of cotton crop.
