Abstract
Mung bean is major cereal of Rajasthan. During
its storage several insect best spoiled it by their various activities thus
reducing the cost value of mung beans, so in present study an experiment was
performed to evaluate some botanicals and their combination in the form of
pellet for their toxicity power against the important stored grain pestCallosobruches spp.These botanical were Azadirachta Indica, Eucalptus globulus,
Fagonia cretica and Balanites aegyptiaca and applied @ 0.5gm, 1gm. and 2gm
per 20 gms of stored mung beans seeds. All the botanical showed their toxicity
power against the test insect, Callosobruches
spp. in comparison to the control experiment. Pellet made by Azadirachta Indica @2gm showed maximum
toxicity with 83.33% mortality of test insect followed by the combination of Azadirachta Indica and Eucalptus globulus with 80% mortality.
