Abstract
To study efficacy of different oil for
management of lesser grain borers six type of different oils @ 5 ml/500g of
wheat grain were tested against R. dominica. Significantly minimum adult
emergence was recorded in grains treated with neem oil @ 5 ml/500 g with 2.80
per cent after 15 days, 3.53 per cent after 30 days and 5.61 per cent after 45
days. Minimum grain damage was recorded in grains treated with neem oil @ 5
ml/500 g 3 per cent after 15 days, 4.65 per cent after 30 days and 7.28 per
cent after 45 days. Minimum weight loss was recorded in grains treated with
neem oil @ 5 ml/500 g with 0.69 per cent after 15 days, 1.73 per cent after 30
days and 3.26 per cent after 45 days.
