| dc.description.abstract | Pulse beetle, Callosobruchus chinensis (L.) (Coleoptera: Bruchidae) is an important pest of
stored green gram and widely distributed in the world. Chemical insecticides and fumigants
are commonly used against pulse beetle but it has serious drawback. The efficacies of four
non edible oils viz. castor, karanja, neem and tishi were investigated against the attack of
pulse beetle, C. chinensis in stored green gram seeds to evaluate the oviposition, adult
emergence, seed infestation and weight loss. All the tested oils were effectively reduced the
Oviposition, adult emergence, seed infestation and weight loss compared to control.
However, karanja oil at 6.0 and 8.0 ml/kg seed completely inhibited adult emergence, seed
infestation and weight loss of green gram. Karanja oil showed ovicidal and larvicidal
activities which provided 100% and 87.35% inhibition, respectively at 8.0 ml/kg seed over
control. This oil had no adverse effect on germination of green gram seed at 3 months of
storage. Therefore, karanja oil may be suggested for the management of C. chinensis in
stored green gram seeds. | en_US |
