Volume : II, Issue : VIII, September - 2012 Impact Of Chlorpyriphos On The Morphological Parameters Of Cauliflower, Tomato And Okra Mosmi Raina and Anil Raina DOI : 10.9780/22307850, Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : The present study has been conducted to work out the effect of a wide spectrum
organophosphorous insecticide, chlorpyriphos (O, O-Diethyl O- 3, 5, 6-trichloro-2-
pyridyl phosphorothioate) on the morphological features of three commonly grown
vegetables in the study area i.e. Cauliflower (Brassica oleracea L. var. botrytis, Variety:
Snowball 16), Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill., Variety: Pusa Ruby) and Okra
(Abelmoschus esculentus L., Variety: Pusa Sawani). Results revealed that on an average,
the impact of chlorpyriphos on various morphological parameters of all the three
vegetables have been statistically insignificant (using t- Test) except for height of the
plants in cauliflower treated with double the recommended dose which exhibited a
significant decrease and weight of the head in cauliflower treated with recommended
dose of chlorpyriphos which showed a significant increase. Also in okra total number of
flowers/plant at treatment with both the dosages along with total number of fruits/plant
at treatment with the recommended dose has exhibited statistically significant increase. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : Mosmi Raina and Anil Raina, (2012).
