Abstract
The implication of agricultural products,
pigeon pea, Cajanus cajan (L.) is a basic legume crop known for its
important role in attractive dietary variety and supporting the social and
economic well-being of human. Pulses play an important role in the diet of the
Indian people. Undoubtedly, pulses are an important protein source for the
vegetarians and it is also measured as poor man’s meat for the under privileged
people who cannot afford animal proteins. The vulnerability of pigeon pea to
invasion by the pulse beetle, scientifically referred to as Callosobruchus
maculatus, shows an important challenge, demanding an immediate essential
for complete thoughtful and real control plans. Pigeon pea, a tough competitor
to pulse yields, has appeared as a significant risk, subsequent in vital
protein content fatalities inside pigeon pea. The plant powders used in the
study were Piper nigrum and Curcuma longa powders. The objectives
of the present study were to learn the effect of diverse concentrations of
medicinal powders of Piper nigrum -Pepper and Curcuma
longa – Turmeric on the pulse beetle Callosobruchus maculatus (Coleoptera:
Bruchidae); To evaluate the mortality rate of Callosobruchus maculatus by
the effect of Piper nigrum and Curcuma longa powders; To
assess the properties of the powders on the superiority of Cajanus cajan-Pigeon
pea; To find out the FTIR analysis of the two powders.
