Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 52
Abstract
Ground nut seed beetle (Caryedon serratus) is a serious pest in the stored ground nut. Study on management of ground nut seed beetle by taking eleven sprayble form of plant extract was conducted. After one month, no such infestation was shown. After two months of storage the beetle damage varied from 0.8% to 8.23% and best protection was afforded by Argeratum (0.8%) followed by Lanatana (0.96%) in comparison to control (8.23%) in control. After three months of storage there was variation in residual toxicity of plant products against the pest damage. Lantana, Econeem and mustard oil proved excellent protection of beetle damage and recorded only 2.1% pod damage as comparison to 27.43% in control treatment.
