TI - Repellency potential and protection index of some pesticides against house sparrow, Passer domesticus (L.) in wheat crop KW - Pesticides KW - Wheat KW - Crop yields KW - English sparrow KW - Control KW - Postharvest diseases and injuries N1 - Includes reference N2 - Two schedules of spray programme were tested for protecting wheat spikes from bird attack and reduce damage. In one-spray indices (PI%) were calculated after different post-treatment intervals from pesticide applications. PI% of different application rates of the tested dinipesticides (pirimicarb, fenitrothion, malathion, flusilazole and dini-conazole) indicated that the repellency performance at ripening stages of wheat was differed according to the chemical type and concentration of the repellents. The highest protection performance was exhibited by using the recommended rate of the tested pesticide, where PI% of 63.96, 37.66 38.05, 41.24 and 42.55 % were obtained with pirimicarb, fenitrothion, malathion, flusilazole and dini-conazole, respectively UR - http://nile.enal.sci.eg/EALE/2009/AJAS/4009/1/133.pdf ER -
