Abstract
The investigations on management of the Sitophilus oryzae linked with
stored millets were taken away to understand the efficacy of Ecofriendly botanicals
pesticides on the mortality of the pesticides. The efficiency of five
environmentally friendly insecticides against Sitophilus oryzae infestations in
sorghum is assessed. This experiment was conducted under a Complete Randomized
Block Design (CRD). The effect of Phyto extracts and reasons on adult
Sitophilus oryzae mortality at 30, 60, 90, and 120 days of exposure was
investigated in this investigation. After 30 DAS days of storage, grain
remained undamaged in treatments employing 5% concentrations of sweet flag
powder, custard apple seed powder, and neem leaf powder, coriander seed powder.
The highest level of grain damage was recorded by tulsi powder. At 60 days
after sowing (DAS), the treatments using 5% sweet flag powder, 5% custard apple
seed powder, and 5% neem leaf powder showed no grain damage. After 90 days
after sowing, no grain damage was observed with the application of 5% sweet
flag powder, 5% custard apple seed powder, and 5% neem leaf powder. The
treatments using 5% sweet flag powder, 5% custard apple seed powder, and 5%
neem leaf powder showed no signs of grain damage after 120 days. Therefore, it
can be said that these compounds are both economically and environmentally
feasible and can be easily obtained and used to control Sitophilus oryzae in
stored grains like sorghum.
