Impact of quantities of Nitrogen application on infestation of Sorghum insect pest

Abstract

Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] is a vital essential nutriment crop in the biosphere and fifth most significant cereal crop afterward wheat, rice, maize and barley. NPK are elementary nutrients for plant development, which play a major role in uptake and energy creation in plants and suggestively improve the grain harvest. Sorghum is grown in a variety of agro-ecosystems, with varied biotic and abiotic variables influencing grain output. Arthropods are a serious difficulty for increasing sorghum yield among the biotic components. A variety of variables contribute to insect pest issues in the field, including alteration of the environment to make it more conducive to insect growth, reproduction, and development, as well as conventional cultural practises. Choosing pest-resistant cultivars that are well matched to local growing circumstances is the first step in integrated insect control in sorghum. This strategy is usually employed in conjunction with crop rotation, optimal planting date, trap cropping, cultivation of allelopathy or non-host crops, crop residue eradication, and field cleaning.
